 ## Quick Start
 
 This section describes how to run YCSB on [Apache Ignite](https://ignite.apache.org).
 
 ### 1. Set Up YCSB
 
 Git clone YCSB and compile:
 
     git clone http://github.com/brianfrankcooper/YCSB.git
     cd YCSB
     mvn -pl com.yahoo.ycsb:ignite-binding -am clean package
 
 ### 2. Start Apache Ignite
 1.1 Download latest binary [Apache Ignite release](https://ignite.apache.org/download.cgi#binaries)
 
 1.2 Start ignite nodes using apache-ignite-fabric-2.6.0-bin/bin/**ignite.sh** ignite.xml
 
-1.3 Copy YCSB/ignite/target/ignite-binding-0.15.0-RC1.jar to apache-ignite-fabric-2.6.0-bin/libs
+1.3 Copy YCSB/ignite/target/ignite-binding-0.15.0-RC2-SNAPSHOT.jar to apache-ignite-fabric-2.6.0-bin/libs
 
 Note: Please use YCSB/ignite/resources/**ignite.xml** for running **IgniteClient** tests and **ignite-sql.xml** for
 **IgniteSqlClient** tests. Pay attention that some parameters such us **storagePath**, ****_walPath_****, ****_walArchivePath_****
 should be overwritten by certain pathes. Also please add ip addresses of your host inside the bean **TcpDiscoveryVmIpFinder**
 
 More information about Apache Ignite WAL (Write Ahead Log): https://apacheignite.readme.io/docs/write-ahead-log
 ### 3. Load Data and Run Tests
 
 Load the data:
 
     .bin/ycsb load ignite -p hosts="10.0.0.1"
         -s -P workloads/workloada \
         -threads 4 \
         -p operationcount=100000 \
         -p recordcount=100000 \
          > outputload.txt
 Note: '10.0.0.1' is ip address of one of hosts where was started Apache Ignite nodes.
 
 Run the workload test with ignite:
 
     .bin/ycsb run ignite -p hosts="10.0.0.1"
          -s -P workloads/workloada \
          -threads 4 \
          -p operationcount=100000 \
          -p recordcount=100000 \
           > outputload.txt
 
 Run the workload test with ignite-sql:
 
     .bin/ycsb run ignite-sql -p hosts="10.0.0.1"
          -s -P workloads/workloada \
          -threads 4 \
          -p operationcount=100000 \
