Getting Started
---------------

1. Download the latest release of YCSB:

    ```sh
    curl -O https://github.com/brianfrankcooper/YCSB/releases/download/0.2.0/ycsb-0.2.0.tar.gz
    tar xfvz ycsb-0.2.0.tar.gz
    cd ycsb-0.2.0
    ```
    
2. Set up a database to benchmark. There is a README file under each binding 
   directory.

3. Run YCSB command. 
    
    ```sh
    bin/ycsb load basic -P workloads/workloada
    bin/ycsb run basic -P workloads/workloada
    ```

  Running the `ycsb` command without any argument will print the usage. 
   
  See https://github.com/brianfrankcooper/YCSB/wiki/Running-a-Workload
  for a detailed documentation on how to run a workload.

  See https://github.com/brianfrankcooper/YCSB/wiki/Core-Properties for 
  the list of available workload properties.
