Hi,

I posted a message the the dev list before Xmas and got not response. I
figuered I'd try this list. If this is not the correct forum can someone
please let me know what the correct forum is. I am trying to install
accumulo for a simple demo. I have hadoop installed and running. I verified
by testing a mapreduce program and I can look at the HDFS system.

When I try to start accumulo I get a INFO message saying attempting to talk
to zookeeper. I verified zookeeper is running and I can access it using the
zkCli.sh. The next line to display is INFO :Waiting for accumulo to be
initialized. That line repeats infinitely.

I looked at the logs and get a message in the tserver_localhost.out saying
unable obtain instance id at /accumulo/instance_id. A quick web search
found a message (
http://affy.blogspot.com/2012/06/accumulo-where-is-my-instance-id.html)
saying I needed to put the HADOOP/conf directory in  my CLASSPATH. I tried
that, but that did not work.

I have looked and didn't find any other groupsw where I could post  a
question.

thanks,

Tim

Did you initialize accumulo by running bin/accumulo init?

John,

No I hadn't. Thank you that was it. I to another look at the install doc
and didn't see this step in there.  I then looked at the README file on the
ACCUMULO website and it is in there.
I was able to start accumulo and then start an accumulo shell and execute
the tables command and it listed !METADATA. I presume that this means I am
up and running.

I am going to use the enron dataset for my demo. I do have a few questions
regarding how to structure it if you don't mind a few more questions.
thanks again.

Tim

What install doc where you looking at?  Want to make sure we open a
doc bug if needed.

Keith,

*
http://accumulo.apache.org/user_manual_1.3-incubating/Administration.html#Installation
* is the link I used. I didn't find a link from the accumulo site. I think
it may be an older page becuase I couldn't find anything regarding
installation from the main accumulo page. I did a google search on "install
accumulo" and this was one of the pages.

There is an Initialization section, after the configuration section,
at this link.

Yeah I see it now.  You have to drill into the document. I would think the
Install section would be right out in front or better yet a "Quick Start"
similar to other products.

On the good side it does work as stated and I am now working on a simple
demo using the enron data.

thanks for you help,

Tim

Are you looking for generic pointers for it or do you have specific
questions? Feel free to ask away and someone will be able to help.

John,

I guess a little of both. In the Enron email set I have a bunch of folders
representing people. Each folder has subfolders that equate to mailboxes
(inbox, sent_mail, etc...). Each mailbox simply contains text files named
1, 2, 3, 4 that equate to an individual email.

Each email is a text file that if easy to parse into specific fields.  I
want to place those emails in accumulo and run some simple MapReduce for
the demo. Similar to what I saw in some *Cloudbase *training last year.
What I didn't remember is how the tables were arranged.

I was just going to make each email, regardless of mailbox as a row in
accumulo and make make the mailbox and owner separate columns (or column
qualifier to be more specific). My issue is the To and CC fields. Each can
be a list. I was thinking of making the column family to and the column
qualifier 1,2,3, ...).  I could also make the column qualifier for the to
family the actual value "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". I wasn't exactly sure of the best
way.

Each email has a Message_ID and so far I think they are unique. If not I
can generate a unique ID.

Again this will be for a simple demo where people may want to search from
some person, to some person and maybe for specific terms in the body of the
email.

Hope this gives a good idea of what I am trying to do. Feel free to ask any
other questions you may have if I wasn';t clear enough. Again I have more
experience working with existing structures. I am trying t use this
experience to learn a little about how to organize the data.

thanks in advance,

Tim
