 To execute the benchmark using the S3 storage binding, first files must be uploaded using the "load" option with this command:
 
-    ./bin/ycsb load s3 -p table=theBucket -p s3.endPoint=s3.amazonaws.com -p s3.accessKeyId=yourAccessKeyId -p s3.secretKey=yourSecretKey -p recordcount=10 -p operationcount=10 -p workload=com.yahoo.ycsb.workloads.CoreWorkload -p readallfields=true -p readproportion=0.5 -p updateproportion=0.5 -p scanproportion=0 -p insertproportion=0 -p readmodifywriteproportion=0  -p fieldlength=10 -p fieldcount=20 -threads 10 -p requestdistribution=zipfian

-With this command, 10 files will be uploaded. The file size is determined by the number of fields (fieldcount) and by the field size (fieldlength). In this case each file is 200 bytes (10 bytes for each field multiplied by 20 fields). With this command 10 threads will be used.
+With this command, the workload A will be executing with the loading phase. The file size is determined by the number of fields (fieldcount) and by the field size (fieldlength). In this case each file is 200 bytes (10 bytes for each field multiplied by 20 fields).
