= Kudu Java insert loadgen README
:author: Kudu Team

== Summary
Random insert load generator. This will insert as fast as it can into a
pre-existing table using AUTO_BACKGROUND_FLUSH mode. All fields are randomized.
The load generator will continue inserting until it is stopped or it encounters
an error. This load generator is single-threaded.

To build and run, do the following:

[source,bash]
----
$ mvn verify
$ java -jar target/kudu-insert-loadgen-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar master_addresses table_name
----

where `master_addresses` is a CSV of the master addresses for your Kudu cluster
and `table_name` is the name of a pre-existing table. For example,

[source,bash]
----
$ java -jar target/kudu-insert-loadgen-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar localhost:7051 test_table
----

This program will not create the "test_table" table. You must do that
via other means, such as through impala-shell.
