datomic pro uberjar error

[fooblahblah]

Probably related to #3, but I'm hitting the following error trying to build an uberjar for datomic pro

lein with-profiles +datomic-pro uberjar

[fooblahblah]

There was mention of ~/.m2/settings.xml, but I haven't added any credentials there yet. Might that be my problem?

[plexus]

That seems like we misconfigured something on our end. The pro build still isn't tested yet. We'll get to that eventually as we also need it.

Since you're using pro I'm guessing you're using this professionally. Can I ask what company this is for?

[fooblahblah]

This is for www.homebay.com and we have a larger Datomic instance backed by Dynamo.

[fooblahblah]

I managed to spoof the issue above by populating my ~/.m2 directory with the datomic-pro jar and pom and then rebuilding which leinigen seemed happy with, thus building the uber jar. When I run metabase with the resulting jar it's detected and I get a configuration screen. When I try and configure the driver against a Datomic instance in our staging env which has a uri like datomic:ddb://us-east-1/fooblahblah-staging/bogus I get the following:

07-08 15:21:56 INFO metabase.driver :: Registered driver :datomic  🚚
Load lazy loading driver :datomic took 674 ms
07-08 15:21:57 DEBUG middleware.log :: POST /api/setup/validate 400 896 ms (0 DB calls) 
{:errors {:dbname "java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError"}}

07-08 15:21:57 DEBUG middleware.log :: POST /api/setup/validate 400 1 ms (0 DB calls) 
{:errors {:dbname "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class datomic.ddb_cluster__init"}}

I've verified I'm able to access the instance from my machine so I don't think security perms are an issue. Seems to be some ddb related class loader issue?

Has anyone successfully connected to a pro Datomic out on AWS?

Note: I can connect to a local Datomic instance using the same jar and see some data so that's promising!

[plexus]

The fact that it's not finding the ddb classes probably means it's not actually using the pro library. You could try this as a hack/workaround

export CLASSPATH=`find ~/.m2 -name datomic-pro*.jar -print -quit`
# now start metabase

[fooblahblah]

Ah, interesting. Ok, I'll keep poking at it. Thanks!

[fooblahblah]

I re-ran metabase with the following command:
CLASSPATH=`find ~/.m2 -name "datomic-pro*.jar" -print -quit` java -jar metabase.jar

Still seeing the same classpath issue.

The result of the find command is:

$ find ~/.m2 -name "datomic-pro*.jar" -print -quit
/home/jsimpson/.m2/repository/com/datomic/datomic-pro/0.9.5786/datomic-pro-0.9.5786.jar

Also I had previously modified deps.edn which is as follows:

Anything else seem amiss?

[fooblahblah]

I am using a pretty new version of the pro jar, maybe an older one would have the correct function? i.e. I'll try 0.9.5697 and see if it matches the code better.

[fooblahblah]

I reverted the change to deps.edn and tried using 0.9.5561.62, but still hitting the issue. I was using the following command:
CLASSPATH=/home/jsimpson/.m2/repository/com/datomic/datomic-pro/0.9.5561.62/datomic-pro-0.9.5561.62.jar java -jar metabase.jar

The plugin was rebuilt with lein and copied to plugins.

Not sure how to proceed.

[fooblahblah]

Maybe this is useful, but the uberjar seems to have the datomic classes baked, so maybe there's some other classloader issue going on?

$jar tvf /home/jsimpson/Downloads/metabase-datomic/target/uberjar/datomic.metabase-driver.jar | grep "ddb_cluster"

The output matches what I see in the datomic-pro jar in ~/.m2:

[plexus]

A short update here, we've also ran into various issues, the approach as documented creates an uberjar which includes metabase and its dependencies, all of them AOT compiled, which seems to mess things up. And on top of that it seems that the way Metabase's plugin mechanism modifies the classpath isn't good to enough for it to find and load the datomic classes in the uberjar.

Instead the best approach I've come up so far has been:

• build a regular jar, not an uberjar. so no AOT, and only package the driver namespaces. e.g. lein with-profiles +datomic-free jar
• copy this jar to metabase/plugins
• add the datomic dependency (pro or free) directly to metabase. Either update metabase's project.clj, or do something like

lein update-in :dependencies conj \
     '[com.datomic/datomic-free "0.9.5697"
       :exclusions [org.slf4j/jcl-over-slf4j
                    org.slf4j/jul-to-slf4j
                    org.slf4j/log4j-over-slf4j
                    org.slf4j/slf4j-nop]]' \
     -- run -m metabase.core

You need the slf4j exclusions or slf4j will complain and refuse to start.

[zilti]

Well, this workaround is definitely not working. Is this project even alive still?

[plexus]

PR welcome @zilti. Sorry not sorry that people who gave you something for free are not doing more work for free to cater to your every need.

(Yes, this project is still "alive", whatever that means, I'll be pushing compatibility for the latest datomic soon)

[plexus]

Apologies for closing this abruptly, for an overburdened open source maintainer it's easy to hit a sore spot.

I'll improve the docs on this, what we are doing at the moment is patching project.clj to add datomic-pro in a profile, as well as putting the driver source on the classpath. We then use our own main function to start metabase and initialize the driver. This last bit is not necessary if you compile the driver with datomic-pro and put the jar on the classpath so metabase's plugin mechanism loads it, but I find it more reliable to bypass that plugin mechanism and to initialize the driver manually. It prevents issues with the driver being aot compiled against wrong dependencies (like the wrong datomic), and makes it easier when actually working on the driver.

See dev/user.clj for an example of what that looks like.

In project.clj
