Before running any of the examples, the following steps must be performed.
-
Install and run Accumulo via the instructions found in INSTALL.md of Accumulo's tarball. Remember the instance name. It will be referred to as "instance" throughout the examples. A comma-separated list of zookeeper servers will be referred to as "zookeepers".
-
Create an Accumulo user (for help see the 'User Administration' section of the user manual), or use the root user. This user and their password should replace any reference to "username" or "password" in the examples. This user needs the ability to create tables.
-
Clone and build this repository.
git clone https://github.com/apache/accumulo-examples.git mvn clean package
-
Specify Accumulo connection information in
conf/accumulo-client.properties
. Some old examples still read connection information from an examples.conf file so that should also be configured.cd accumulo-examples nano conf/accumulo-client.properties cp examples.conf.template examples.conf nano examples.conf
-
The examples have some custom iterators that need to be executed by Accumulo tablet servers. Make them available by copying the accumulo-examples.jar to Accumulo's
lib/ext
directory.cp target/accumulo-examples-X.Y.Z.jar /path/accumulo/lib/ext/
-
Each Accumulo example has its own documentation and instructions for running the example which are linked to below.
When running the examples, remember the tips below:
- Examples are run using the
runex
command which is located in thebin/
directory of this repo. Therunex
command is a simple wrapper around the Maven Exec plugin. - Commands intended to be run in bash are prefixed by '$' and should be run from the root of this repository.
- Several examples use the
accumulo
andaccumulo-util
commands which are expected to be on yourPATH
. These commands are found in thebin/
directory of your Accumulo installation. - Commands intended to be run in the Accumulo shell are prefixed by '>'.
Each example below highlights a feature of Apache Accumulo.
