This section describes how to run YCSB on Accumulo.

See the Accumulo Documentation for details on installing and running Accumulo.

Before running the YCSB test you must create the Accumulo table. Again see the Accumulo Documentation for details. The default table name is ycsb.

Git clone YCSB and compile:

git clone http://github.com/brianfrankcooper/YCSB.git
cd YCSB
mvn -pl com.yahoo.ycsb:aerospike-binding -am clean package

Load the data:

./bin/ycsb load accumulo -s -P workloads/workloada \
     -p accumulo.zooKeepers=localhost \
     -p accumulo.columnFamily=ycsb \
     -p accumulo.instanceName=ycsb \
     -p accumulo.username=user \
     -p accumulo.password=supersecret \
     > outputLoad.txt

Run the workload test:

./bin/ycsb run accumulo -s -P workloads/workloada  \
     -p accumulo.zooKeepers=localhost \
     -p accumulo.columnFamily=ycsb \
     -p accumulo.instanceName=ycsb \
     -p accumulo.username=user \
     -p accumulo.password=supersecret \
     > outputLoad.txt
