+
+## Quick Start
+
+This section describes how to run YCSB on [Accumulo](https://accumulo.apache.org/). 
+
+### 1. Start Accumulo
+
+See the [Accumulo Documentation](https://accumulo.apache.org/1.7/accumulo_user_manual.html#_installation)
+for details on installing and running Accumulo.
+
+Before running the YCSB test you must create the Accumulo table. Again see the 
+[Accumulo Documentation](https://accumulo.apache.org/1.7/accumulo_user_manual.html#_basic_administration)
+for details. The default table name is `ycsb`.
+
+### 2. Set Up 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
+
+### 3. Load Data and Run Tests
+
+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
