## Quick Start

This section describes how to run YCSB on Azure table storage. 

### 1. Create an Azure Storage account.
###    https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-create-storage-account/#create-a-storage-account

### 2. Install Java and Maven

### 3. Set Up YCSB

Git clone YCSB and compile:

    git clone http://github.com/brianfrankcooper/YCSB.git
    cd YCSB
    mvn -pl com.yahoo.ycsb:azuretablestorage-binding -am clean package

### 4. Provide Azure Storage parameters
    
Set the account name and access key.

- `azure.account`
- `azure.key`

Or, you can set configs with the shell command, EG:

    ./bin/ycsb load azuretablestorage -s -P workloads/workloada -p azure.account=YourAccountName -p azure.key=YourAccessKey > outputLoad.txt

### 5. Load data and run tests

Load the data:

    ./bin/ycsb load azuretablestorage -s -P workloads/workloada -p azure.account=YourAccountName -p azure.key=YourAccessKey > outputLoad.txt

Run the workload test:

    ./bin/ycsb run azuretablestorage -s -P workloads/workloada -p azure.account=YourAccountName -p azure.key=YourAccessKey > outputRun.txt
	
### 6. Optional Azure Storage parameters

- `azure.batchsize`	
	Could be between 1 ~ 100. Insert records to table in batch if batchsize > 1.
- `azure.protocol`
	https(in default) or http.
- `azure.table`
	The name of the table('usertable' in default).
- `azure.partitionkey`
	The partitionkey('Test' in default).
- `azure.endpoint`
	For Azure stack WOSS.
	
EG:
    ./bin/ycsb load azuretablestorage -s -P workloads/workloada -p azure.account=YourAccountName -p azure.key=YourAccessKey -p azure.batchsize=100 -p azure.protocol=http
