Provide User Guide using Python

The User Guide at https://ucbrise.github.io/confluo/ could use a full Python version. At this time it's completely unclear how to use Confluo from Python.

Thanks for the feedback! I've updated the documentation with Python usage. We're continuously working on improving documentation, and plan to add Java usage as well.

I would we very interested to know what your use-case for Confluo is!

I am just storing and exploring realtime US stock data for now to make close to realtime predictions. It doesn't mean I have any good predictive model; I don't.

Please advise when I should refresh https://ucbrise.github.io/confluo/ to also find a Python version of the User Guide. It's currently published in C++ only.

The updates are in the stand-alone mode, when querying from the python client; for e.g., the Quick Start under the stand-alone subsection now has both C++ and Python code examples. Detailed API docs for the Python Client can be found here.

Thanks. Most sections of the User Guide are currently not Python specific. It would help to just have a completely different and comprehensive user guide for Python. Without one, it's not sufficiently encouraging for a Python user to adopt Confluo.

Thanks for the feedback. Look for a section on the Python Client interface in the next couple of days.
