-Constructing Fields
-===================
-
-For views, aggregated subscriptions, and SOW topic enrichment, AMPS
-allows you to construct new fields based on existing data.
-
-When you construct a field, there are two components required:
-
-1. A *source expression* that produces a value. This expression can
-   include XPath identifiers that extract values from a message, literal
-   values, operators, and functions.
-
-2. A *destination identifier* that specifies the identifier where the
-   message type will serialize the value produced by the source
-   expression.
-
-The source expression and the destination identifier are separated by
-the ``AS`` keyword. The format for a field construction expression is as
-follows:
-
-.. code::
-
-    <source expression>
-    AS 
-    <destination identifier>
-
-For example, to create a field in a view that calculates the total value
-of an order by multiplying the ``/price`` field times the ``/qty``
-field, construct the field as shown below:
-
-.. code-block:: xml
-
-    <Field>/price * /qty AS /total</Field>
-
-This constructs a field using ``/price * /qty`` as the source
-expression. Both ``/price`` and ``/qty`` are taken from the incoming
-message. When the result of this expression is computed, the value will
-be produced with the XPath identifier ``/total`` as the destination.
-That value will then be serialized to a message (with the exact format
-and syntax determined by the message type).
-
-Notice that the grammar for constructing fields does not specify
-precisely how the field is represented in the message. AMPS constructs
-the value and provides the XPath identifier to the message type. The
-message type itself is responsible for serializing the value into the
-correct representation and structure for that message type.
-
-All of the AMPS operators and functions that are available for filters
-are available to use in source expressions, including any user-defined
-functions loaded into the instance.
-
-Depending on the context for field construction, there are additional
-capabilities available when constructing fields, as described in the
-following sections.
-
-
-.. _#construct-preprocessing-fields:
-
-Constructing Preprocessing Fields
-----------------------------------
-
-Preprocessing field constructors operate on a single message and
-construct fields based on that message. The results of the preprocessing
-field constructor are merged into the incoming message. Any field in the
-source message that is not changed or removed during preprocessing is
-left unchanged, so it is not necessary to include all fields in the
-message in the ``Preprocessing`` block.
-
-Since preprocessing fields apply to a specific message, preprocessing
-fields cannot specify the topic or message type in an XPath identifier.
-All identifiers in the source expression are evaluated as identifiers
-in the message being preprocessed. Preprocessing fields are evaluated
-during the preprocessing phase, so they cannot refer to the previous state
-of a message.
-
-Using HINT to Control Field Construction
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Preprocessing can be used to remove fields from a message. By default,
-AMPS serializes any field that has an empty string or ``NULL`` value
-after preprocessing. Preprocessing fields can include a directive that
-specifies that a field that contains a ``NULL`` value should be removed
-from the set of fields rather than serialized with a ``NULL`` value. The
-directive ``HINT OPTIONAL`` applied to the XPath identifier specifies
-that if the result of the source expression is ``NULL``, AMPS does not
-provide the value for the message type to serialize. For example, the
-following field constructor removes the ``/source`` field from the
-message if the value provided is not in a specific list of values:
-
-.. code-block:: xml
-
-    <Field>IF(/source IN ('a','e','f'), /source, NULL)
-           AS /source HINT OPTIONAL</Field>
-
-By default, AMPS considers the results of field construction (the
-processed message) to be distinct from the current message. AMPS
-rewrites the current message *after* preprocessing is completed. This
-means that, by default, the results of fields constructed during
-preprocessing are not available to other fields within preprocessing.
-The ``HINT SET_CURRENT`` option immediately inserts or updates values in
-the current message, which makes the new value available to all
-subsequent ``Field`` declarations.
-
-In the sample below, AMPS enriches the message by performing an
-expensive operation (implemented as a user-defined function) on two
-input fields, and immediately updates the current message with the
-output of that operation. AMPS then sets other fields in the processed
-message using the updated value in the current message.
-
-.. code-block:: xml
-
-    <Field>EXPENSIVE_UDF_CALL(/dataSet1, /dataSet2)
-           AS /processedData HINT SET_CURRENT</Field>
-    <Field>IF(/processedData > 1000000,
-               'A',
-               'B') AS /resultClass</Field> 
-
-Notice that using ``HINT SET_CURRENT`` requires AMPS to process
-``Field`` declarations in order, which may prevent future optimizations.
-
-Hints can be combined as follows:
-
-.. code-block:: xml
-
-    <Field>EXPENSIVE_UDF_CALL(/dataSet1, /dataSet2)
-           AS /processedData HINT SET_CURRENT,OPTIONAL
-    </Field>
-
-In this case, if the projected field would be ``NULL``, the field is
-removed from the current message.
-
-.. _#construct-enrichment-fields:
-
-Constructing Enrichment Fields
--------------------------------
-
-Enrichment field constructors operate on a single message and construct
-fields based on that message. Enrichment expressions operate on the
-current message and change the current message. The results of the
-enrichment directives are merged into the incoming message. Any field in
-the source message that is not changed or removed during preprocessing
-is left unchanged, so it is not necessary to include all fields in the
-message in the ``Enrichment`` directive.
-
-Since enrichment fields apply to a specific message, enrichment fields
-cannot specify the topic or message type in an XPath identifier. All
-identifiers in the source expression are evaluated as identifiers in
-the message being enriched.
-
-Enrichment fields are constructed during the enrichment phase, so enrichment
-fields can refer to the previous state of a message. Within an enrichment
-expression, AMPS provides two special modifiers for XPath identifiers that
-specify whether an XPath identifier refers to the current incoming message or
-the previous state of the message. These modifiers apply only to the source
-expression, and cannot be used in the destination identifier.  The
-modifiers are as follows:
-
-.. list-table:: *XPath identifier modifiers for enrichment*
-     :header-rows: 1
-
-     * - Modifier
-
-       - Description
-
-     * - ``OF CURRENT``
-         
-
-       - Specify that the XPath identifier refers to the
-         incoming message.
-
-     * - ``OF PREVIOUS``
-         
-
-       - Specify that the XPath identifier refers to the
-         previous state of the message in the SOW. If there
-         is no record in the SOW for this message, all
-         identifiers that specify ``OF PREVIOUS`` return
-         ``NULL``.
-
-Using HINT to Control Field Construction
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Enrichment can be used to remove fields from a message. By default, AMPS
-serializes any field that has an empty string or ``NULL`` value after
-enrichment. Enrichment ``Field`` elements can include a directive that
-specifies that a field that contains a ``NULL`` value should be removed
-from the message rather than serialized with a ``NULL`` value. The
-directive ``HINT OPTIONAL`` applied to the XPath identifier specifies
-that if the result of the source expression is ``NULL``, AMPS does not
-provide the value for the message type to serialize. For example, the
-following field constructor removes the ``/source`` field from the
-message if the value provided is not in a specific list of values:
-
-.. code-block:: xml
-
-    <Field>IF(/source IN ('a','e','f'), /source, NULL)
-           AS /source HINT OPTIONAL</Field>
-
-By default, AMPS considers the results of field construction (the
-enriched message) to be distinct from the current message. AMPS rewrites
-the current message *after* enrichment is completed. This means that, by
-default, the results of fields constructed during enrichment are not
-available to other fields within enrichment. The ``HINT SET_CURRENT``
-option immediately inserts or updates values in the current message,
-which makes the new value available to all subsequent ``Field``
-declarations.
-
-In the sample below, AMPS enriches the message by performing an
-expensive operation (implemented as a user-defined function) on two
-input fields, and immediately updates the current message with the
-output of that operation. AMPS then sets other fields in the processed
-message using the updated value in the current message.
-

-
-    <Field>EXPENSIVE_UDF_CALL(/dataSet1, /dataSet2)
-           AS /processedData HINT SET_CURRENT</Field>
-    <Field>IF(/processedData > 1000000,
-               'A',
-               'B') AS /resultClass</Field> 
-
-Notice that using ``HINT SET_CURRENT`` requires AMPS to process
-``Field`` declarations in order, which may prevent future optimizations.

-           AS /processedData HINT SET_CURRENT,OPTIONAL
-    </Field>
-
-In this case, if the projected field would be ``NULL``, the field is
-removed from the current message.
-
-.. _#ug-constructing-view-fields:
-
-Constructing View Fields
--------------------------
-
-View field constructors operate over groups of messages, and construct a
-single output message for each distinct group, as specified by the
-``Grouping`` element in the ``View`` configuration.
-
-When constructing a field in a view, all identifiers used in the source
-expression must be in one of the underlying topics for the view. When
-the view uses a ``Join``, the identifiers must include the topic
-identifier. If the topics in the ``Join`` are of different message types,
-the identifiers must include both the message type and the topic
-identifier.
-
-For example, the following ``Field`` definition multiplies the
-``/quantity`` from the NVFIX topic ``orders`` by the ``/price`` from the
-JSON topic ``items``, and projects the result into the ``/total`` field
-of the view.
-
-.. code-block:: xml
-
-    <Field>[nvfix].[orders]./quantity * [json].[items]./price AS /total</Field>

-Running AMPS as a Linux Service
-====================================
-
-AMPS is designed to be able to easily integrate into your existing
-infrastructure. AMPS includes all of the dependencies it needs to run
-and is configured easily with a single configuration file. Some
-deployments integrate AMPS into a third-party service management
-infrastructure. For those deployments, the needs of that infrastructure
-determine how to install AMPS.
-
-More typically, AMPS runs as a Linux service. This chapter describes how
-to install AMPS as a service.
-
-Installing the Service
-----------------------
-
-AMPS includes a shell script that installs the service. The shell script
-is included in the ``bin`` directory of your AMPS installation. Run the
-script with root permission, as follows:
-
-.. code::
-
-    $ sudo ./install-amps-daemon.sh
-
-This script does the following installation work:
-
--  Installs the AMPS distribution into ``/opt/amps``.
-
--  Creates the ``/opt/etc/amps`` directory if it does not already exist.
-   By default, the daemon uses an AMPS configuration file at
-   ``/opt/etc/amps/config.xml``.
-
--  Installs the service management scripts. Depending on the init system
-   the script detects on your system, this will either be a System V
-   style script located at ``/etc/init.d/amps`` or a SystemD service
-   definition file named ``amps.service`` installed under
-   ``/usr/lib/systemd/``.
-
--  Updates the service management infrastructure to register AMPS as a
-   service and configure the service to start on startup. The exact
-   steps that the script takes to do this depend on the init system
-   detected.
-
-In addition, you must copy the AMPS configuration file for the instance
-to: ``/opt/etc/amps/config.xml``.
-
-You can only run one instance of AMPS as a service on a system at a
-given time using this script. AMPS does not enforce any restriction on
-how many instances can be run on the system at the same time through
-other means, but this script is designed to manage a single instance
-running as a service.
-
-Configuring the Service
-------------------------
-
-When running as a service, the following considerations apply to the
-configuration file:
-
-AMPS Logging
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-60East recommends logging the most important AMPS messages to syslog
-when running as a service. For example, the following configuration file
-snippet logs messages of warning level and above to the system log:
-
-.. code-block:: xml
-
-    <Logging>
-        <Target>
-            <Protocol>syslog</Protocol>
-            <Level>warning</Level>
-            <Ident>amps</Ident>
-            <Options>LOG_CONS,LOG_NDELAY,LOG_PID</Options>
-            <Facility>LOG_USER</Facility>
-        </Target>
-    </Logging>
-
-60East does not recommend logging a level lower than warning to syslog,
-since an active AMPS instance can produce a large volume of messages.
-
-File Paths
-^^^^^^^^^^
-
-When running as a service, file paths in the configuration file also
-require attention. In particular:
-
--  For simplicity, use absolute paths for all file paths in the
-   configuration file.
-
--  Consider startup order, and ensure that any devices that AMPS uses
-   are mounted before AMPS starts.
-
--  As with any other AMPS installation, it's also important to estimate
-   the amount of storage space AMPS requires and ensure that the device
-   where AMPS stores files has the needed capacity.
-
-Configuration File Location
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The AMPS service scripts require the configuration file to be located at:
-``/opt/etc/amps/config.xml``.
-
-Managing the Service
----------------------
-
-The scripts that AMPS installs provide management functions for the AMPS
-service. The scripts are used in the same way scripts for other Linux
-services are used.
-
-Starting the AMPS Service
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-To start the AMPS service, use the following command if your system uses
-System V init scripts:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    sudo /etc/init.d/amps start
-
-Many systems that use System V init scripts also provide convenience
-commands (such as ``service``) to locate and run commands for working
-with daemons. Check your distribution's documentation for details.
-
-If your system uses SystemD, you can use a command like:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    sudo systemctl start amps
-
-Stopping the AMPS Service
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-To stop the AMPS service, use the following command if your system uses
-System V init scripts:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    sudo /etc/init.d/amps stop
-
-Many distributions that use System V init scripts also provide
-convenience commands (such as the ``service`` program) for working with
-daemons. Check your distribution's documentation for details.
-
-If your system uses SystemD, you can use a command like:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    sudo systemctl stop amps
-
-Restarting the AMPS Service
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-To restart the AMPS service, use the following command if your system
-uses System V init scripts:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    sudo /etc/init.d/amps restart
-
-Many distributions that use System V init scripts also provide
-convenience commands (such as the ``service`` program) for working with
-daemons. Check your distribution's documentation for details.
-
-If your distribution uses SystemD, you can use a command like:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    sudo systemctl restart amps
-
-View Status for the AMPS Service
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-To see the status of the AMPS service, use the following command if your
-system uses System V init scripts:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    sudo /etc/init.d/amps status
-
-Many distributions that use System V init scripts also provide
-convenience commands (such as the ``service`` program) for working with
-daemons. Check your distribution's documentation for details.
-
-If your distribution uses SystemD, you can use a command like:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    sudo systemctl status amps
-
-Uninstalling the Service
-------------------------
-
-AMPS includes a script that uninstalls AMPS as a service. The script
-reverses the changes that the install script makes to your system. Run
-the script with root permission, as follows:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    $ sudo ./uninstall-amps-daemon.sh
-
-The uninstall script does not remove the configuration file or any files
-or data that AMPS creates at runtime.
-
-Upgrading the Service
----------------------
-
-To upgrade the service to a new version of AMPS, follow these steps:
-
-1. Stop the service.
-
-2. Uninstall the previous version of the service using the uninstall
-   script included with that version.
-
-3. If necessary, upgrade any data files or configuration files that you
-   want to retain. Note that data files, such as AMPS journal files and 
-   SOW files, as of version 5.0.0.0, are compatible with later releases 
-   and do not need to be upgraded.
-
-4. Install the new version of the service using the install script
-   included with the new version. Ensure that the configuration file is
-   at the appropriate path for the new installation.
-
-5. Start the service.
-
-For AMPS instances that participate in failover, you must coordinate
-your upgrades as you would for a standalone AMPS instance.
