-Overview
-========
+1. Download the latest release of YCSB:
 
-It is difficult to decide which system is right for your application,
-partially because the features differ between systems, and partially
-because there is not an easy way to compare the performance of one
-system versus another.
+    wget https://github.com/downloads/brianfrankcooper/YCSB/ycsb-0.1.4.tar.gz
+    tar xfvz ycsb-0.1.4
+    cd ycsb-0.1.4
 
-The goal of the YCSB project is to develop a framework and common set
-of workloads for evaluating the performance of different "key-value"
-and "cloud" serving stores. The project comprises two things:
+2. Set up a database to benchmark. There is a README file under each binding
+   directory.
 
-* The YCSB Client, an extensible workload generator
+3. Run YCSB command. 
 
-* The Core workloads, a set of workload scenarios to be executed by
-  the generator
+    bin/ycsb load basic workloads/workloada
+    bin/ycsb run basic workloads/workloada
 
-Although the core workloads provide a well rounded picture of a
-system's performance, the Client is extensible so that you can define
-new and different workloads to examine system aspects, or application
-scenarios, not adequately covered by the core workload. Similarly, the
-Client is extensible to support benchmarking different
-databases. Although we include sample code for benchmarking HBase and
-Cassandra, it is straightforward to write a new interface layer to
-benchmark your favorite database.
-
-A common use of the tool is to benchmark multiple systems and compare
-them. For example, you can install multiple systems on the same
-hardward configuration, and run the same workloads against each
-system. Then you can plot the performance of each system (for example,
-as latency versus throughput curves) to see when one system does
-better than another.
-
-Detailed information about using the benchmark is available in the
-doc/index.html file.
+   Running the `ycsb` command without any argument will print the usage. See
+   https://github.com/brianfrankcooper/YCSB/wiki/Core-Properties for the list
+   of available workload properties.
