 Getting Started
 ---------------
 
 1. Download the [latest release of YCSB](https://github.com/brianfrankcooper/YCSB/releases/latest):
 
     ```sh
-    curl -O --location https://github.com/brianfrankcooper/YCSB/releases/download/0.8.0/ycsb-0.8.0.tar.gz
-    tar xfvz ycsb-0.8.0.tar.gz
-    cd ycsb-0.8.0
+    curl -O --location https://github.com/brianfrankcooper/YCSB/releases/download/0.9.0/ycsb-0.9.0.tar.gz
+    tar xfvz ycsb-0.9.0.tar.gz
+    cd ycsb-0.9.0
     ```
     
 2. Set up a database to benchmark. There is a README file under each binding 
    directory.
 
 3. Run YCSB command. 
     
     ```sh
     bin/ycsb load basic -P workloads/workloada
     bin/ycsb run basic -P workloads/workloada
     ```
 
   Running the `ycsb` command without any argument will print the usage. 
    
   See https://github.com/brianfrankcooper/YCSB/wiki/Running-a-Workload
   for a detailed documentation on how to run a workload.
 
   See https://github.com/brianfrankcooper/YCSB/wiki/Core-Properties for 
   the list of available workload properties.
 
 Building from source
 --------------------
 
 YCSB requires the use of Maven 3; if you use Maven 2, you may see [errors
 such as these](https://github.com/brianfrankcooper/YCSB/issues/406).
 
 To build the full distribution, with all database bindings:
 
     mvn clean package
 
 To build a single database binding:
 
     mvn -pl com.yahoo.ycsb:mongodb-binding -am clean package
