DeepDive Application's Structure and Operations

DeepDive application structure

A DeepDive application is a directory that contains the following files and directories:

app.ddlog

This file can be thought as the blueprint of a DeepDive application. DDlog declarations and rules written in this file tell DeepDive:

deepdive.conf

Extra configuration not expressed in the DDlog program is in this file. Extractors, and inference rules can also be written in HOCON syntax in this file, although DDlog is the recommended way. See the Configuration Reference for full details.

db.url

A URL representing the database configuration is supposed to be stored in this file. For example, the following URL can be the line stored in it:

postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/database_name

PostgreSQL SSL

SSL connections for PostgreSQL can be enabled by setting parameter ssl as true in the URL, e.g.:

postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/database_name?ssl=true

If you use a self-signed certificate, you may want to disable validation with an extra sslfactory parameter:

postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/database_name?ssl=true&sslfactory=org.postgresql.ssl.NonValidatingFactory

input/

Any data to be processed by this application is suggested to be kept under this directory.

udf/

Any user-defined function (UDF) code is suggested to be kept under this directory. They can be referenced from deepdive.conf with path names relative to the application root.

run/

Each run/execution of the DeepDive application has a corresponding subdirectory under this directory whose name contains the timestamp when the run was started, e.g., run/20150618/223344.567890/. All output and log files that belong to the run are kept under that subdirectory. There are a few symbolic links with mnemonic names to the most recently started run (run/LATEST), last successful run (run/FINISHED), last failed run (run/ABORTED) for handy access.


Other files

schema.json and schema.sql

Data-Definition Language (DDL) statements for setting up the underlying database tables should be kept in this file. This may be omitted when the application is written in DDlog.

input/init.sh

In addition to the data files, there should be an executable script that knows how to load the data here to the database once its tables are created.
