What is Read-Eval-Print Loops (REPLs)

Chapter 18
Handbook of Research on Big Data Storage and Visualization Techniques
A read–eval–print loop (REPL) also known as an interactive top level or language shell is a simple, interactive computer programming environment that takes single user inputs (i.e. single expressions), evaluates them and returns the result to the user; a program written in a REPL environment is executed piecewise (Wikipedia,2015). The term is most usually used to refer to programming interfaces similar to the classic Lisp machine interactive environment. Common examples include command line shells and similar environments for programming languages, and is particularly characteristic of scripting languages (Wikipedia, 2015).

Abstract
This chapter is a brief introduction to the Image As Big Data Toolkit (IABDT), a Java-based open source framework for performing a variety of distributed image processing and analysis tasks. IABDT has been developed over the last two years in response to the rapid evolution of Big Data architectures and technologies, distributed and image processing systems. This chapter presents an architecture for image analytics that uses Big Data storage and compression methods. A sample implementation of our image analytic architecture called the Image as Big Data Toolkit (IABDT) addresses some of the most frequent challenges experienced by the image analytics developer. Baseline applications developed with IABDT, status of the toolkit and directions for future extension with emphasis on image display, presentation, and reporting case studies are discussed to motivate our design and technology stack choices. Sample applications built using IABDT, as well as future development plans for IABDT are discussed.
