+# HBase Driver for YCSB
+This driver is a binding for the YCSB facilities to operate against a HBase Server cluster.
+
+## Quickstart
+
+### 1. Start a HBase Server
+You need to start a single node or a cluster to point the client at. Please see [Apache HBase Reference Guide](http://hbase.apache.org/book.html) for more details and instructions.
+
+### 2. Set up YCSB
+You need to clone the repository and compile everything.
+
+```
+git clone git://github.com/brianfrankcooper/YCSB.git
+cd YCSB
+mvn clean package
+```
+
+### 3. Create a HBase table for testing
+
+```
+/HBASE-HOME-DIR/bin/hbase shell
+
+hbase(main):001:0> create 'usertable', 'family'
+```
+
+### 4. Run the Workload
+Before you can actually run the workload, you need to "load" the data first.
+
+You should specify a HBase config directory(or any other directory containing your hbase-site.xml) and a table name and a column family(-cp is used to set java classpath and -p is used to set various properties).
+
+```
+bin/ycsb load hbase -P workloads/workloada -cp /HBASE-HOME-DIR/conf -p table=usertable -p columnfamily=family
+```
+
+Then, you can run the workload:
+
+```
+bin/ycsb run hbase -P workloads/workloada -cp /HBASE-HOME-DIR/conf -p table=usertable -p columnfamily=family
+```
+
+Please see the general instructions in the `doc` folder if you are not sure how it all works. You can apply additional properties (as seen in the next section) like this:
+
+```
+bin/ycsb run hbase -P workloads/workloada -cp /HBASE-HOME-DIR/conf -p table=usertable -p columnfamily=family -p clientbuffering=true
+```
+
+## Configuration Options
+Following options can be configurable using -p.
+
+* clientbuffering : If true, buffer mutations on the client. The default is false.
+* writebuffersize : Buffer size to be used when clientbuffering is activated. The default is 12582912(= 1024 * 1024 * 12).
+* debug : If true, debugging logs are activated. The default is false.
