-# Accumulo Docker Image
+# Apache Accumulo Docker Image
+
+**This is currently a work in progress that depends on unreleased features of Accumulo and will not be ready
+for use until after Accumulo 2.0.0 is released.**  Sometime after Accumulo 2.0.0 is released this project
+will make its first release. Eventually, this will project will create a `apache/accumulo` image at DockerHub.
+Until then, you will need to build your own image.
+
+## Obtain the Docker image
+
+To obtain the docker image created by this project, you can either pull it from DockerHub at
+`apache/accumulo` or build it yourself. To pull the image from DockerHub, run the command below:
+
+    docker pull apache/accumulo
+
+While it is easier to pull from DockerHub, the image will default to the software versions below:
+
+| Software    | Version        |
+|-------------|----------------|
+| [Accumulo]  | 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT |
+| [Hadoop]    | 2.7.4          |
+| [Zookeeper] | 3.4.9          |
+
+If these versions do not match what is running on your cluster, you should consider building
+your own image with matching versions. However, Accumulo must be 2.0.0+. Below are instructions for
+building an image:
+
+1. Clone the Accumulo docker repo
+
+        git clone git@github.com:apache/accumulo-docker.git
+
+2. Until Accumulo 2.0.0 is released, build a Accumulo tarball distribution and copy it to the root
+   directory of the repo.
+
+        git clone git@github.com:apache/accumulo.git
+        cd accumulo/
+        mvn clean package
+        cp assemble/target/accumulo-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT-bin.tar.gz /path/to/accumulo-docker/
+
+3. Build the default Accumulo docker image using the command below.
+
+        cd /path/to/accumulo-docker
+        docker build -t accumulo .
+
+   Or build the Accumulo docker image with specific versions of Hadoop, Zookeeper, etc using the command below:
+
+        docker build --build-arg ZOOKEEPER_VERSION=3.4.8 --build-arg HADOOP_VERSION=2.7.0 -t accumulo .
+
+## Image basics
+
+The entrypoint for the Accumulo docker image is the `accumulo` script. While the primary use
+case for this image is to start Accumulo processes (i.e tserver, master, etc), you can run other
+commands in the `accumulo` script to test out the image:
+
+```bash
+# No arguments prints Accumulo command usage
+docker run accumulo
+# Print Accumulo version
+docker run accumulo version
+# Print Accumulo classpath
+docker run accumulo classpath
+```
+
+# Run Accumulo using Docker
+
+Before you can run Accumulo services in Docker, you will need to install Accumulo, configure `accumulo-site.xml`,
+and initialize your instance with `--upload-accumulo-site`. This will upload configuration to Zookeeper and limit
+how much configuration needs to be set on the command line.
+
+```bash
+$ accumulo init --upload-accumulo-site
+...
+Uploading properties in accumulo-site.xml to Zookeeper. Properties that cannot be set in Zookeeper will be skipped:
+Skipped - instance.secret = <hidden>
+Skipped - instance.volumes = hdfs://localhost:8020/accumulo
+Skipped - instance.zookeeper.host = localhost:2181
+Uploaded - table.durability = flush
+Uploaded - tserver.memory.maps.native.enabled = false
+Uploaded - tserver.readahead.concurrent.max = 64
+Uploaded - tserver.server.threads.minimum = 64
+Uploaded - tserver.walog.max.size = 512M
+```
+
+Any configuration that is skipped above will need to be passed in as a command line option to Accumulo services running
+in Docker containers. These options can be set in an environment variable which is used in later commands.
+
+```
+export ACCUMULO_CL_OPTS="-o instance.secret=mysecret -o instance.volumes=hdfs://localhost:8020/accumulo -o instance.zookeeper.host=localhost:2181"
+```
+
+The Accumulo docker image expects that the HDFS path set by `instance.volumes` is owned by the `accumulo` user. This
+can be accomplished by running the command below (replace the HDFS path with yours):
+
+```bash
+hdfs dfs -chown -R accumulo hdfs://localhost:8020/accumulo
+```
+
+## Docker engine
+
+Use the `docker` command to start local docker containers. The commands below will start a local Accumulo cluster
+with two tablet servers.
+
+```
+docker run -d --network="host" accumulo monitor $ACCUMULO_CL_OPTS
+docker run -d --network="host" accumulo tserver $ACCUMULO_CL_OPTS
+docker run -d --network="host" accumulo tserver $ACCUMULO_CL_OPTS
+docker run -d --network="host" accumulo master $ACCUMULO_CL_OPTS
+docker run -d --network="host" accumulo gc $ACCUMULO_CL_OPTS
+```
+
+If you would like to set Java heap size inside the Docker container, start the local docker container using the
+command below:
+
+```
+docker run -e ACCUMULO_JAVA_OPTS='-Xmx1g' -d --network="host" accumulo tserver $ACCUMULO_CL_OPTS
+```
+
+## Marathon
+
+Using the Marathon UI, you can start Accumulo services using the following
+JSON configuration template.  The template is configured to start an Accumulo
+monitor but it can be modified to start other Accumulo services such as
+`master`, `tserver` and `gc`. For tablet servers, set `instances` to the number
+of tablet servers that you want to run.
+
+```
+{
+  "id": "accumulo-monitor",
