<abstract>
<para>This guide contains detailed information about using BookKeeper
for logging. It discusses the basic operations BookKeeper supports,
and how to create logs and perform basic read and write operations on these
logs.</para>

<title>Getting Started: Setting up BookKeeper to write logs.</title>
<para>This document contains information to get you started quickly with
BookKeeper. It is aimed primarily at developers willing to try it out, and
contains simple installation instructions for a simple BookKeeper installation
and a simple programming example. For further programming detail, please refer to
<ulink url="bookkeeperProgrammer.html">BookKeeper Programmer's Guide</ulink>.

<para> BookKeeper is distributed along with ZooKeeper. To get a ZooKeeper distribution,
download a recent
<ulink url="http://hadoop.apache.org/zookeeper/releases.html">
stable</ulink> release from one of the Apache Download
Mirrors.</para>

<title>LocalBookKeeper</title>
<para> Under org.apache.bookkeeper.util, you'll find a java program
called LocalBookKeeper.java that sets you up to run BookKeeper on a
single machine. This is far from ideal from a performance perspective,
but the program is useful for both test and educational purposes.

<title>Setting up bookies</title>
<para> If you're bold and you want more than just running things locally, then
you'll need to run bookies in different servers. You'll need at least three bookies
to start with.
</para>
<para>
For each bookie, we need to execute a command like the following:
</para>
<para><computeroutput>
java -cp .:./zookeeper-&lt;version&gt;-bookkeeper.jar:./zookeeper-&lt;version&gt;.jar:../log4j/apache-log4j-1.2.15/log4j-1.2.15.jar\
-Dlog4j.configuration=log4j.properties org.apache.bookkeeper.proto.BookieServer 3181 /path_to_log_device/\
/path_to_ledger_device/
</computeroutput></para>
<para> "/path_to_log_device/" and "/path_to_ledger_device/" are different paths. Also, port 3181
is the port that a bookie listens on for connection requests from clients.
</para>
</section>
<section id="bk_setupZK">
<title>Setting up ZooKeeper</title>
<para> ZooKeeper stores metadata on behalf of BookKeeper clients and bookies. To get a minimal
ZooKeeper installation to work with BookKeeper, we can set up one server running in
standalone mode. Once we have the server running, we need to create a few znodes:
</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para><computeroutput>
/ledgers
</computeroutput></para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><computeroutput>
/ledgers/available
</computeroutput></para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para> For each bookie, we add one znode such that the name of the znode is the
concatenation of the machine name and the port number that the bookie is
listening on. For example, if a bookie is running on bookie.foo.com an is listening
on port 3181, we add a znode
<computeroutput>/ledgers/available/bookie.foo.com:3181</computeroutput>.
</para>
