Goal

Develop a distributed sorting application using Ice and Java. The application will be composed of a client and a server. The client will ask for a file to be sorted and the server will sort the file and save it in a new file.

Components

1. Client: The client will be responsible for asking the user for the file to be sorted.
2. Server: The server will be responsible for receiving the file, sorting it and saving it in a new file.
3. Worker: The worker will be responsible for sorting the file. The server will have a pool of workers that will be responsible for sorting the file. The server receives a lines of the file. The worker sorts the lines and returns the sorted lines to the server.

Remotes Machines

Component	Remote PC Name
Master	hgrid1
Client	hgrid4
Worker 1	hgrid10
Worker 2	hgrid11
Worker 3	hgrid13
Worker 4	hgrid15
Worker 5	hgrid18
Worker 6	hgrid2
Worker 7	hgrid3
Worker 8	hgrid5
Worker 9	hgrid9
Worker 10	hgrid8

** initial Aprroach**

Initially,the server must be started and then ther workers. Each worker must be register in the server dinamically. The client must be started and then the user must enter the file to be sorted.

Deployment 🚀

1. In each Remote PC, open a terminal and created a directory called Datamining and enter in this directory.

2. Once all the directories are created, copy the files from the buiild/libs of the project, depending on the module you want to start on the machine.

3. In the folder Datamining in the server and workers must be also the file you want to sort.

4. In the server, execute the following command:

   java -jar master.jar 

   Server configuration file:

    Callback.Server.Endpoints=default -h * -p 9091
    
    Ice.Warn.Connections=1

5. In the workers, execute the following command:

   java -jar worker.jar 

   File of worker configuration:

   CallbackSender.Proxy=callbackSender:default -h hgrid1 -p 9091
   Callback.Worker.Endpoints=default -h * -p 9092
   Ice.Warn.Connections=1

6. In the client, execute the following command:

   java -jar client.jar 

   File of client configuration:

   CallbackSender.Proxy=callbackSender:default -h hgrid1 -p 9091
   Callback.Client.Endpoints=default -h *
   Ice.Warn.Connections=1

7. In the client, enter the name of the file to be sorted, in the next format:

   dist_sorter:<filename>.txt
