apache/asterixdb — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a Java based big data database system like AsterixDB. I want it to store and query messy JSON style data, not just neat tables, and let users run a friendly SQL like query language for searching, filtering, joining, and analyzing that data.

It should work locally first, with a simple way to start a sample single machine cluster and open a browser page where I can type queries and see results. Please include native storage, basic indexing for faster lookups including text and spatial style data, support for time and location fields, and simple transaction and recovery behavior like a NoSQL database.

Make the project build from source with Maven, JDK 21, and Python where needed. Add clear README instructions for building, starting the local server, and trying a few sample queries. Look up the current AsterixDB docs online if you need to match the expected behavior.
