The Accumulo-Examples repository contains a collection of examples for Accumulo versions 2.0 and greater. Examples within the main
branch are designed to work with the version currently under development. Additional branches exist for previous releases of the Accumulo 2.x line. For example, the 2.0
branch contains examples specifically intended to work with that release version.
The Accumulo Tour also provides several simple introductory examples that may be of interest.
A collection of examples for Accumulo 1.10 can be found here.
Follow the steps below to run the Accumulo examples:
Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/apache/accumulo-examples.git
Follow Accumulo's quickstart to install and run an Accumulo instance. Accumulo has an accumulo-client.properties in conf/
that must be configured as the examples will use this file to connect to your instance.
Review env.sh.example and accumulo-env.sh (within your accumulo installation) to see if you need to customize them. If ACCUMULO_HOME
& HADOOP_HOME
are set in your shell, you may be able skip this step. Make sure ACCUMULO_CLIENT_PROPS
is set to the location of your accumulo-client.properties.
cp conf/env.sh.example conf/env.sh vim conf/env.sh
Build the examples repo and copy the examples jar to Accumulo's lib/
directory to get on its class path:
./bin/build cp target/accumulo-examples.jar /path/to/accumulo/lib/
Each Accumulo example has its own documentation and instructions for running the example which are linked to below.
When running the examples, remember the tips below:
runex
or runmr
commands which are located in the bin/
directory of this repo. The runex
command is a simple script that use the examples shaded jar to run a a class. The runmr
starts a MapReduce job in YARN.accumulo
and accumulo-util
commands which are expected to be on your PATH
. These commands are found in the bin/
directory of your Accumulo installation.Each example below highlights a feature of Apache Accumulo.
