Description

Hi, thanks for making your graph db available for free. I just finished setting-up Rexster with OrientDB and wanted to point out a few confusing points:
https://github.com/orientechnologies/orientdb-docs/wiki/Rexster

  1. "After unzipping the archive, you should copy orient-client.jar and orient-enterprise.jar in $REXSTER_HOME/ext. ". I actually found that I needed to copy ALL of the jar files to $REXSTER_HOME/ext. Also, $REXSTER_HOME is never clearly defined (i.e. as of Rexster 2.7, there is no "ext" directory in the main rexster repository folder).
  2. In the Synopsis, the graph configuration is incorrect:
    <graph-file>url-to-your-db</graph-file>

it should really be:

<graph-location>url-to-your-db</graph-location>

  1. The database URL is confusing. I've seen several examples citing /tmp/* as the base directory where these database files exist, however this is not true in my 2.0.6 installation. I had to poke around for a while.
  2. In the same snippet,

<graph-type>orientgraph</graph-type>

no longer works for the newest Rexster.

  1. In "Run"
    "Note: only Rexster 0.5-SNAPSHOT and further releases work with OrientDB GraphEd" is confusing. What is GraphEd?

Also, "you created a Blueprints enabled graph called orientGraph using the class com.tinkerpop.blueprints.pgm.impls.orientdb.OrientGraph". I didn't have to know about this interface in order to create a graph using the Studio and interface to it....

  1. "Be sure that the OrientDB server is running and you have properly configured the location and the access credentials of your graph." Should be
  2. There should be a huge warning somewhere that running Rexster Server to connect to OrientDB using plocal can cause the database file to become corrupted irrevocably. Unfortunately this happened to me several times.

Apologies if any of these are documented elsewhere. I know the orientdb documentation has seen a dramatic overhaul recently and looks very sharp!
