How to upload external data files to Wave Analytics using External Data API

Question

I want to upload external data csv file to Salesforce Wave Analytics using External Data API and Web Services Connector (WSC).

I have connected to salesforce using below code:

ConnectorConfig config = new ConnectorConfig();
config.setUsername(username);
config.setPassword(password);
config.setAuthEndpoint(endpoint);
PartnerConnection partnerConnection = new PartnerConnection(config);

Now, I need to upload external data csv and dataflow to salesforce analytics using API.

Does anyone have an example of how to upload data into the Saleforce Analytics Cloud.

Any help would be appreciated.

1. Configure the Upload Setup the InsightsExternalData header with details about the upload. A name for the dataset, what operation to perform on the data.
2. Add the Data Chunk the Data up in 10 MB chunks.
3. Manage the Upload Set the Action to Process to get things going.
