Setting Up Development Environment for FE using IntelliJ IDEA

    • Git
    • JDK1.8+
    • Maven (Optional, IDEA shipped embedded Maven3)

    Clone Code

    If your are only interested in FE module, and for some reason you can’t or don’t want to compile full thirdparty libraries, the minimum tool required for FE module is , so you can manually install thrift and copy or create a link of the executable thrift command to ./thirdparty/installed/bin.

    Doris build against thrift 0.13.0 ( note : Doris 0.15 and later version build against thrift 0.13.0 , the previous version is still thrift 0.9.3)

    If your are using macOS, try and will get thrift 0.13.0 installed at /usr/local/opt/thrift@0.13.0/bin/thrift, then create a soft link to ./thirdparty/installed/bin/thrift.

    For Windows users, download thrift 0.13.0 from http://archive.apache.org/dist/thrift/0.13.0/thrift-0.13.0.exe, and put it into thirdparty/installed/bin/ folder.

    If fails, run following command first to try to install modules into maven local repository, then re-run above command.

    You can also use IDE embedded GUI tools to run maven command to generate sources

    If you are developing on the OS which lack of support to run and make such as Windows, a workround here is generate codes in Linux and copy them back. Using Docker should also be an option.
