Example not working (need more documentation)

[dlazesz]

Could you provide a complete example for wordcount?

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04. I've followed the steps to setup the program. Kept the default settings. I'm running the following command:

cat input.txt | wordcount/main.xbred > output.txt

It says:

xbred: starting pipeline
xbred: done

But output.txt is empty and there is some processing after the main program exited.

Where supposed the output to go?

Ok. Problem solved. It was my fault.

The correct invocation is: cat input.txt | wordcount/main.xbred > output.txt

The following problems occured:

1) Wrong netcat version. Should be a check for it! (I know I should RTFM more carefully.) 2) Need to enable debuging to catch the errors (not documented): export XBRED_DEBUG="on" 3) Because the asynchronous behaviour there is a delay between "xbred: done" and the actual writing of the result. 4) Some cleanup script would be useful in the case of failure: killall awk; killall nc; rm -rf work/ && mkdir -p work/{fs,jm,sort} 5) bredfs write uses non-interactive ssh session, so ~/.bashrc is not executed and bred is not found when the PATH variable is updated in it to contain bred. Should be documented...

I created PR #15 to resolve the issue. Please consider merging it.

Merged. Thank you!
