CQL Execution Service

The CQL Execution Service is an implementation of the cql_engine as a web service.

Usage:

• Clone repository
• mvn install
• mvn -Djetty.http.port=xxxx jetty:run
  • This command spins up the server and listens on the port of your choosing (usually 8080 for development).
• Start the CQL Runner (follow instructions here) or navigate to the publicly available implementation here and edit the url to point to your execution service implementation in the “Engine URL” tab.
