Hi all,<div><br /></div><div>I am currently working on the Hawkular Metrics repository as part of the Google Summer of Code 2015 program and this is to update the progress of my project.</div><div><br /></div><div>I spent the last week familiarizing myself with the existing Hawkular Metrics repo on github and some of its code. As of now, I have created a new git repo on my github profile which intends to implement a simple plugin interface using 5 basic statistical algorithms. These are - </div><div><ol><li><b>Minimum</b> of the entered data set.</li><li><b>Maximum</b> of the entered data set.</li><li><b>Average</b> of the entered data set.</li><li><b>Mode</b> of the entered data set.</li><li><b>Standard Deviation</b> of the entered data set.</li></ol><div>The link to this git repo is  - https://github.com/Akki5/hawkular_plugin</div></div><div><br /></div><div>This is just initial draft for the interface to be implemented. Here, <b>StatisticalAlgo.java </b>is the interface and other named java classes are the classes implementing the interface. <b>PluginDemo</b>.java is the test class. At the moment, everything in the code is hardcoded and static in nature which will later be converted for dynamic usage.</div><div><br /></div><div>The next step requires following listed work to be done - </div><div><br /></div><div><ol><li>Use maven to build the project.</li><li>Use <b>Classloader </b>for all classes implementing StatisticalAlgo.</li><li>Require input from user as to which plugin is to be used.</li></ol></div><div> Regards,</div><div>Aakarsh Agarwal</div><div><br /></div>
