Hi Chris, encounter another problem with it.

Unable to compile TweetParser.

It is trying to compile against the Vertica SDK. Do you have the Vertica server installed on the same server? It is looking for the SDK in /opt/vertica/sdk

Yes, i can have the sdk file installed on same server. What might be other possible reason for this error? Thanks Chris!

What version of Vertica are you running?

6.1.3

You want to use the Social Media Connector for the 6.1.x branch in GitHub. The master branch for SocialMediaConnector is for Vertica 7.

You can try just replacing your tweetparser.cpp with this one:
https://github.com/vertica/Social-Media-Connector/blob/vertica_6.1.x/src/TweetParser.cpp

Then trying to recompile.

Is it advisable to upgrade my vertica to 7.0?

It is pretty quick and painless to upgrade if you only have a single node.

I am using 3 nodes in one cluster.
