interact hook is unclear #59

Open cmacdonald opened 5 years ago

cmacdonald commented 5 years ago

I wasn't on slack, so perhaps I missed this, but I'm not sure on the purpose of the interact hook -- the README.md states: "to prepare for user interaction".

Is there a "user interaction"? Does this just mean "preparation before the search hook is called". What might we expect to go there?

The canonical case is Elasticsearch. Preparing for user interaction means spin up the daemons so the user can point a browser at the UI and play with its features.

For other images, it can just be running the shell... so users can ssh in and poke around - look at code, indexes, etc.

Terrier notebooks Craig!

Oh, that's a great idea!

The interact hook for Terrier would spin up its notebook and let users play with it...

Here's our take: https://github.com/osirrc/olddog-docker/commit/d20aa889f4808a87b30072f50eae8d718421344a

Basically, just start the database. Using docker exec -it olddog-docker-interact mclient -d robust04 you can then issue SQL queries on the document representations.
