Creating a new BigInsights project

You must create an InfoSphere® BigInsights™ project before you can use any product functionality, such as MapReduce applications, Jaql or Hive queries, or Text Analytics extractors. To ensure that you use the appropriate type of project from among the possible types of Eclipse projects, create a BigInsights project, or add the BigInsights nature to an existing Eclipse project.

Procedure

  1. From the Eclipse workbench, click File > New > Project.
  2. In the tree list of the New Project wizard, click BigInsights > BigInsights Project, and click Next.
  3. In the New BigInsights Project window, enter a project name, and click Finish. The new project opens in the Project Explorer.
  4. Ensure that the text file encoding of the InfoSphere BigInsights project is UTF-8.
    1. In the Project Explorer view, right-click the BigInsights Project, and then click Properties > Resource.
    2. In the Text file encoding field, select Other > UTF-8, and then click Apply.
