Quick Start
===============
### 1. Set Up YCSB

Clone the YCSB git repository and compile:

    git clone git://github.com/brianfrankcooper/YCSB.git
    cd YCSB
    mvn clean package

### 2. Run YCSB

To execute the benchmark using the S3 storage binding, first files must be uploaded using the "load" option with this command:

    ./bin/ycsb load s3 -p table=theBucket -p s3.endPoint=s3.amazonaws.com -p s3.accessKeyId=yourAccessKeyId -p s3.secretKey=yourSecretKey -p recordcount=10 -p operationcount=10 -p workload=com.yahoo.ycsb.workloads.CoreWorkload -p readallfields=true -p readproportion=0.5 -p updateproportion=0.5 -p scanproportion=0 -p insertproportion=0 -p readmodifywriteproportion=0  -p fieldlength=10 -p fieldcount=20 -threads 10 -p requestdistribution=zipfian

With this command, 10 files will be uploaded. The file size is determined by the number of fields (fieldcount) and by the field size (fieldlength). In this case each file is 200 bytes (10 bytes for each field multiplied by 20 fields). With this command 10 threads will be used.

Running the command:

       ./bin/ycsb load s3 -p table=theBucket -p s3.endPoint=s3.amazonaws.com -p s3.accessKeyId=yourAccessKeyId -p s3.secretKey=yourSecretKey -p recordcount=10 -p operationcount=10 -p workload=com.yahoo.ycsb.workloads.CoreWorkload -p readallfields=true -p readproportion=0.5 -p updateproportion=0.5 -p scanproportion=0 -p insertproportion=0 -p readmodifywriteproportion=0  -p fieldlength=10 -p fieldcount=20 -threads 10 -p requestdistribution=zipfian

the workload A will be executed with 50/50 updates/reads. 

#### S3 Storage Configuration Parameters
