This directory contains the example that distribute a zip file, install and start a service. This README explain how to quick-start this example.

In order to run the example:

1. Start a gearpump cluster, including Master and Workers.

2. Start the AppMaster:
   

target/pack/bin/gear app -jar experiments/distributeservice/target/$SCALA_VERSION_MAJOR/gearpump-experiments-distributeservice_$VERSION.jar org.apache.gearpump.distributeservice.DistributeService

3. Distribute the service:
   

target/pack/bin/gear app -jar experiments/distributeservice/target/$SCALA_VERSION_MAJOR/gearpump-experiments-distributeservice_$VERSION.jar
org.apache.gearpump.distributeservice.DistributeServiceClient -appid $APPID -file ${File_Path}
-script ${Script_Path} -serviceName ${Service_Name} -target ${Target_Path} -Dkey1=value1 -Dkey2=value2
```<br>
This command will distribute the service zip file(variable ```file```) to the target path(variable ```target```), then copy the script to
```/etc/init.d``` on each machine and install this service named with ```serviceName```<br>
Note that you can pass some variables when the script file is installed, for example, you can submit a script template with syntax like

role=${${hostname}.role}

Then when submit the service, you can define ```-Dhost1.role=master```, which will replace the ```role``` property on machine host1.
