+ <h1>Bookie Recovery</h1>
+
+<p>When a bookie crashes, any ledgers with entries on the bookie potentially become underreplicated. For this reason, we provide a recovery tool which will ensure that all ledgers which had entries on the bookie are fully replicated. At the moment, this is not an automatic process. The administrator must run this tool manually when he sees that the bookie has died. </p>
+
+<p>To run recovery, with zk1.example.com as the zookeeper ensemble, and bk3.example.com as the failed bookie, do the following:</p>
+
+<p><code>bookkeeper-server/bin/bookkeeper org.apache.bookkeeper.tools.BookKeeperTools zk1.example.com:2181 bk3.example.com:3181</code></p>
+
+<p>It is necessary to specify the host and port portion of failed bookie, as this is how it identifies itself to zookeeper. It is possible to specify a third argument, which is the bookie to replicate to. If this is omitted, as in our example, a random bookie is chosen for each ledger fragment. A ledger fragment is a continous sequence of entries in a bookie, which share the same ensemble. </p>
+
+<p>The recovery process is as follows.</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li>The client reads the metadata of active ledgers from zookeeper;</li>
+<li>From this, the ledgers which contain fragments using the failed bookie in their ensemble are selected;</li>
+<li>A recovery process is initiated for each ledger in this list;<ol>
+<li>The client goes through all ledger fragments in the ledger, selecting those which contain the failed bookie;</li>
+<li>A recovery process is initiated for each ledger fragment in this list;<ol>
+<li>The client selects a bookie to which all entries in the ledger fragment will be replicated;</li>
+<li>the client reads entries that belong to the ledger fragment from other bookies in the ensemble and writes them to the selected bookie;</li>
+<li>Once all entries have been replicated, the zookeeper metadata for the fragment is updated to reflect the new ensemble;</li>
+<li>The fragment is marked as fully replicated in the recovery tool;</li>
+</ol>
+</li>
+<li>Once all ledger fragements are marked as fully replicated, the ledger is marked as fully replicated;</li>
+</ol>
+</li>
+<li>Once all ledgers are marked as fully replicated, bookie recovery is finished.</li>

-<h1>Running bookies</h1>
+<h2>Running bookies</h2>
 
 <p>To run a bookie, we execute the following command: </p>
 
-<p> @ bookkeeper-server/bin/bookkeeper bookie</p>
+<p><code>bookkeeper-server/bin/bookkeeper bookie</code></p>
 
-<p>The configuration parameters, which can be set in bookkeeper-server/conf/bkenv.sh</p>
+<p>The configuration parameters can be set in bookkeeper-server/conf/bk_server.conf. </p>
 
-<ul>
-<li><span class="caps">BOOKIE</span>_PORT: Port number that the bookie listens on; </li>
-<li><span class="caps">BOOKIE</span>_ZOOKEEPER: Comma separated list of ZooKeeper servers with a hostname:port format; </li>
-<li><span class="caps">BOOKIE</span>_TXN_LOGDIR: Path for Log Device (stores bookie write-ahead log); </li>
-<li><span class="caps">BOOKIE</span>_DATA_DIR: Path for Ledger Device (stores ledger entries); </li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>Ideally, <code>/path_to_log_device/</code> and <code>/path_to_ledger_device/</code> are each in a different device. </p>
-
-<h1>Bookie Configuration</h1>
-
-<p>Bookie server stores its data in multiple ledger directories and its journal files in a journal directory. Ideally, storing journal files in a separate directory than data files would increase throughput and decrease latency.</p>
-
-<h2>Journal Configuration</h2>
-
-<p>Journal directory has one kind of files in it:</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>{timestamp}.txn - holds transactions executed in the bookie server.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>Before persisting ledger index and data to disk, a bookie ensures that the transaction that represents the update is written to a journal in non-volatile storage. A new journal file is created using current timestamp when a bookie starts or an old journal file reaches its maximum size.</p>
+<p>The important parameters are:<br />
+ * <code>bookiePort</code>, Port number that the bookie listens on; <br />
+ * <code>zkServers</code>, Comma separated list of ZooKeeper servers with a hostname:port format; <br />
+ * <code>journalDir</code>, Path for Log Device (stores bookie write-ahead log); <br />
+ * <code>ledgerDir</code>, Path for Ledger Device (stores ledger entries); </p>
 
-<p>A bookie supports journal rolling to remove old journal files. In order to remove old journal files safely, bookie server records LastLogMark in Ledger Device, which indicates all updates (including index and data) before LastLogMark has been persisted to the Ledger Device.</p>
+<p>Ideally, <code>journalDir</code> and <code>ledgerDir</code> are each in a different device. See <a href="./bookkeeperConfigParams.html">BookKeeper Configuration Parameters</a> for a full list of configuration parameters.</p>
 
-<p>LastLogMark contains two parts:</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>LastLogId - indicates which journal file the transaction persisted.</li>
-<li>LastLogPos - indicates the position the transaction persisted in LastLogId journal file.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>You may use following settings to further fine tune the behavior of your Bookie servers. Currently these configuration settings are set using Java system properties.</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>journalMaxSizeMB<ul>
-<li>journal file size limitation. when a journal reaches this limitation, it will be closed and new journal file be created.</li>
-</ul></li>
-</ul>
-
-<ul>
-<li>journalMaxBackups<ul>
-<li>how many old journal files whose id is less than LastLogMark &#39;s journal id.</li>
-</ul></li>
-</ul>
 
-<blockquote><p><span class="caps">NOTE</span>: keeping number of old journal files would be useful for manually recovery in special case.</p></blockquote>
+<h3>Logging</h3>
 
-<h1>ZooKeeper Metadata</h1>
+<p>BookKeeper uses <a href="http://www.slf4j.org">slf4j</a> for logging, with the log4j bindings enabled by default. To enable logging from a bookie, create a log4j.properties file and point the environment variable <span class="caps">BOOKIE</span>_LOG_CONF to the configuration file. The path to the log4j.properties file must be absolute.</p>
 
-<p>For BookKeeper, we require a ZooKeeper installation to store metadata, and to pass the list of ZooKeeper servers as parameter to the constructor of the BookKeeper class ( <code>org.apache.bookkeeper.client,BookKeeper</code> ). To setup ZooKeeper, please check the <a href="http://index.html">ZooKeeper documentation</a>. </p>
+<p><code>export BOOKIE_LOG_CONF=/tmp/log4j.properties</code><br />
+<code>bookkeeper-server/bin/bookkeeper bookie</code></p>
 
-<p>BookKeeper provides two mechnaisms to organize its metadata in ZooKeeper.</p>
+<h2>Setting up a test ensemble</h2>
 
-<ul>
-<li>FlatLedgerManager : All ledger metadata are placed as children in a single zookeeper path.</li>
-<li>HierarchicalLedgerManager : All ledger metadata are partitioned into 2-level znodes.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<h2>Flat Ledger Manager</h2>
-
-<p>All ledgers&#39; metadata are put in a single zookeeper path, created using zookeeper sequential node, which can ensure uniqueness of ledger id. Each ledger node is prefixed with &#39;L&#39;.</p>
-
-<p>Bookie server manages its owned active ledgers in a hash map. So it is easy for bookie server to find what ledgers are deleted from zookeeper and garbage collect them. And its garbage collection flow is described as below:</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>Fetch all existing ledgers from zookeeper (*zkActiveLedgers*).</li>
-<li>Fetch all ledgers currently active within the Bookie (*bkActiveLedgers*).</li>
-<li>Loop over <strong>bkActiveLedgers</strong> to find those ledgers which do not exist in <strong>zkActiveLedgers</strong> and garbage collect them.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<h2>Hierarchical Ledger Manager</h2>
-
-<p>Hierarchical Ledger Manager first obtains a global unique id from ZooKeeper using a <span class="caps">EPHEMERAL</span>_SEQUENTIAL znode.</p>
-
-<p>Since ZooKeeper sequential counter has a format of %10d -- that is 10 digits with 0 (zero) padding, i.e. "&lt;path&gt;0000000001", HierarchicalLedgerManager splits the generated id into 3 parts :</p>
-
-<p> @ {level1 (2 digits)}{level2 (4 digits)}{level3 (4 digits)}</p>
-
-<p>These 3 parts are used to form the actual ledger node path used to store ledger metadata:</p>
-
-<p> @ {ledgers_root_path}/{level1}/{level2}/L{level3}</p>
-
-<p>E.g. Ledger 0000000001 is split into 3 parts 00, 0000, 00001, which is stored in znode /{ledgers_root_path}/00/0000/L0001. So each znode could have at most 10000 ledgers, which avoids the problem of the child list being larger than the maximum ZooKeeper packet size.</p>
-
-<p>Bookie server manages its active ledgers in a sorted map, which simplifies access to active ledgers in a particular (level1, level2) partition.</p>
-
-<p>Garbage collection in bookie server is processed node by node as follows:</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>Fetching all level1 nodes, by calling zk#getChildren(ledgerRootPath).<ul>
-<li>For each level1 nodes, fetching their level2 nodes :</li>
-<li>For each partition (level1, level2) :<ul>
-<li>Fetch all existed ledgers from zookeeper belonging to partition (level1, level2) (*zkActiveLedgers*).</li>
-<li>Fetch all ledgers currently active in the bookie which belong to partition (level1, level2) (*bkActiveLedgers*).</li>
-<li>Loop over <strong>bkActiveLedgers</strong> to find those ledgers which do not exist in <strong>zkActiveLedgers</strong>, and garbage collect them.</li>
-</ul></li>
-</ul></li>
-</ul>
+<p>Sometimes it is useful to run a ensemble of bookies on your local machine for testing. We provide a utility for doing this. It will set up N bookies, and a zookeeper instance locally. The data on these bookies and of the zookeeper instance are not persisted over restarts, so obviously this should never be used in a production environment. To run a test ensemble of 10 bookies, do the following.</p>
 
-<blockquote><p><span class="caps">NOTE</span>: Hierarchical Ledger Manager is more suitable to manage large number of ledgers existed in BookKeeper.</p></blockquote>

+
+<table><tr><td><code>zkServers</code></td><td>A list of one of more servers on which zookeeper is running. The server list can be comma separated values, e.g., zk1:2181,zk2:2181,zk3:2181</td></tr><tr><td><code>zkTimeout</code></td><td>ZooKeeper client session timeout in milliseconds. Bookie server will exit if it received <span class="caps">SESSION</span>_EXPIRED because it was partitioned off from ZooKeeper for more than the session timeout <span class="caps">JVM </span>garbage collection, disk I/O will cause <span class="caps">SESSION</span>_EXPIRED. Increment this value could help avoiding this issue. The default value is 10,000.</td></tr><tr><td><code>bookiePort</code></td><td>Port that bookie server listens on. The default value is 3181.</td></tr><tr><td><code>journalDir</code></td><td>Directory Bookkeeper outputs its write ahead log, ideally in a dedicated device. The default value is "/tmp/bk-txn".</td></tr><tr><td><code>ledgerDirs</code></td><td>Directory Bookkeeper 
 outputs ledger snapshots could define multiple directories to store snapshots, comma separated. For example: /tmp/bk1-data,/tmp/bk2-data. Ideally ledger dirs and journal dir are each in a differet device, which reduce the contention between random i/o and sequential write.

A new entry log file will be created when the old one reaches the file size limitation. The default value is 2GB.</td></tr><tr><td><code>journalMaxSizeMB</code></td><td>Maximum file size of journal file, in mega bytes. A new journal file will be created when the old one reaches the file size limitation. The default value is 2kB.</td></tr><tr><td><code>journalMaxBackups</code></td><td>Max number of old journal file to keep. Keeping a number of old journal files might help data recovery in some special cases. The default value 
 is 5.</td></tr><tr><td><code>gcWaitTime</code></td><td>Interval to trigger next garbage collection, in milliseconds. Since garbage collection is running in the background, running the garbage collector too frequently hurts performance. It is best to set its value high enough if there is sufficient disk capacity.</td></tr><tr><td><code>flushInterval</code></td><td>Interval to flush ledger index pages to disk, in milliseconds. Flushing index files will introduce random disk I/O. Consequently, it is important to have journal dir and ledger dirs each on different devices. However,  if it necessary to have journal dir and ledger dirs on the same device, one option is to increment the flush interval to get higher performance. Upon a failure, the bookie will take longer to recover.</td></tr><tr><td><code>bookieDeathWatchInterval</code></td><td>Interval to check whether a bookie is dead or not, in milliseconds.</td></tr></table>

If you are sending many small messages, such that more than one can fit in a single IP packet, setting server.tcpnodelay to false to enable Nagle algorithm can provide better performance. Default value is true.</td></tr></table>

+<h3>Ledger cache settings</h3>
+

If the number of ledger index files reaches this limit, the bookie starts to flush some ledger indexes from memory to disk. If flushing happens too frequently, then performance is affected. You can tune this number to improve performance according.</td></tr><tr><td><code>pageSize</code></td><td>Size of an index page in ledger cache, in bytes. A larger index page can improve performance when writing page to disk, which is efficient when you have small number of ledgers and these ledgers have a similar number of entries. With a large number of ledgers and a few entries per ledger, a smaller index page would improves memory usage.</td></tr><tr><td><code>pageLimit</code></td><td>Maximum number of index pages to store in the ledger cache. If the number of index pages reaches this limit, bookie server starts to flush ledger indexes from memory to disk. Incrementin
 g this value is an option when flushing becomes frequent. It is important to make sure, though, that pageLimit*pageSize is not more than <span class="caps">JVM </span>max memory limit; otherwise it will raise an OutOfMemoryException. In general, incrementing pageLimit, using smaller index page would gain better performance in the case of a large number of ledgers with few entries per ledger. If pageLimit is -1, a bookie uses 1/3 of the <span class="caps">JVM </span>memory to compute the maximum number of index pages.</td></tr></table>

+ <h2>Bookie Internals</h2>
+
+<p>Bookie server stores its data in multiple ledger directories and its journal files in a journal directory. Ideally, storing journal files in a separate directory than data files would increase throughput and decrease latency</p>
+
+<h3>The Bookie Journal</h3>
+
+<p>Journal directory has one kind of file in it:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><code>{timestamp}.txn</code> - holds transactions executed in the bookie server.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Before persisting ledger index and data to disk, a bookie ensures that the transaction that represents the update is written to a journal in non-volatile storage. A new journal file is created using current timestamp when a bookie starts or an old journal file reaches its maximum size.</p>
+
+<p>A bookie supports journal rolling to remove old journal files. In order to remove old journal files safely, bookie server records LastLogMark in Ledger Device, which indicates all updates (including index and data) before LastLogMark has been persisted to the Ledger Device.</p>
+
+<p>LastLogMark contains two parts:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><code>LastLogId</code> - indicates which journal file the transaction persisted.</li>
+<li><code>LastLogPos</code> - indicates the position the transaction persisted in LastLogId journal file.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>You may use following settings to further fine tune the behavior of journalling on bookies:</p>
+
+<table><tr><td><code>journalMaxSizeMB</code></td><td>journal file size limitation. when a journal reaches this limitation, it will be closed and new journal file be created.</td></tr><tr><td><code>journalMaxBackups</code></td><td>how many old journal files whose id is less than LastLogMark &#39;s journal id.</td></tr></table>
+
+<blockquote><p><span class="caps">NOTE</span>: keeping number of old journal files would be useful for manually recovery in special case.</p></blockquote>
+
+<h1>ZooKeeper Metadata</h1>
+
+<p>For BookKeeper, we require a ZooKeeper installation to store metadata, and to pass the list of ZooKeeper servers as parameter to the constructor of the BookKeeper class (<code>org.apache.bookkeeper.client.BookKeeper</code>). To setup ZooKeeper, please check the <a href="http://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/trunk/index.html">ZooKeeper documentation</a>. </p>
+
+<p>BookKeeper provides two mechanisms to organize its metadata in ZooKeeper. By default, the <code>FlatLedgerManager</code> is used, and 99% of users should never need to look at anything else. However, in cases where there are a lot of active ledgers concurrently, (&gt; 50,000), <code>HierarchicalLedgerManager</code> should be used. For so many ledgers, a hierarchical approach is needed due to a limit ZooKeeper places on packet sizes <a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BOOKKEEPER-39"><span class="caps">JIRA</span> Issue</a>.</p>
+
+<table><tr><td><code>FlatLedgerManager</code></td><td>All ledger metadata are placed as children in a single zookeeper path.</td></tr><tr><td><code>HierarchicalLedgerManager</code></td><td>All ledger metadata are partitioned into 2-level znodes.</td></tr></table>
+
+<h2>Flat Ledger Manager</h2>
+
+<p>All ledgers&#39; metadata are put in a single zookeeper path, created using zookeeper sequential node, which can ensure uniqueness of ledger id. Each ledger node is prefixed with &#39;L&#39;.</p>
+
+<p>Bookie server manages its owned active ledgers in a hash map. So it is easy for bookie server to find what ledgers are deleted from zookeeper and garbage collect them. And its garbage collection flow is described as below:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Fetch all existing ledgers from zookeeper (<code>zkActiveLedgers</code>).</li>
+<li>Fetch all ledgers currently active within the Bookie (<code>bkActiveLedgers</code>).</li>
+<li>Loop over <code>bkActiveLedgers</code> to find those ledgers which do not exist in <code>zkActiveLedgers</code> and garbage collect them.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2>Hierarchical Ledger Manager</h2>
+
+<p><code>HierarchicalLedgerManager</code> first obtains a global unique id from ZooKeeper using a <span class="caps">EPHEMERAL</span>_SEQUENTIAL znode.</p>
+
+<p>Since ZooKeeper sequential counter has a format of %10d -- that is 10 digits with 0 (zero) padding, i.e. "&lt;path&gt;0000000001", <code>HierarchicalLedgerManager</code> splits the generated id into 3 parts :</p>
+
+<p><code>{level1 (2 digits)}{level2 (4 digits)}{level3 (4 digits)}</code></p>
+
+<p>These 3 parts are used to form the actual ledger node path used to store ledger metadata:</p>
+
+<p><code>{ledgers_root_path}/{level1}/{level2}/L{level3}</code></p>
+
+<p>E.g. Ledger 0000000001 is split into 3 parts 00, 0000, 00001, which is stored in znode /{ledgers_root_path}/00/0000/L0001. So each znode could have at most 10000 ledgers, which avoids the problem of the child list being larger than the maximum ZooKeeper packet size.</p>
+
+<p>Bookie server manages its active ledgers in a sorted map, which simplifies access to active ledgers in a particular (level1, level2) partition.</p>
+
+<p>Garbage collection in bookie server is processed node by node as follows:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Fetching all level1 nodes, by calling zk#getChildren(ledgerRootPath).<ul>
+<li>For each level1 nodes, fetching their level2 nodes :</li>
+<li>For each partition (level1, level2) :<ul>
+<li>Fetch all existed ledgers from zookeeper belonging to partition (level1, level2) (<code>zkActiveLedgers</code>).</li>
+<li>Fetch all ledgers currently active in the bookie which belong to partition (level1, level2) (<code>bkActiveLedgers</code>).</li>
+<li>Loop over <code>bkActiveLedgers</code> to find those ledgers which do not exist in <code>zkActiveLedgers</code>, and garbage collect them.</li>
+</ul></li>
+</ul></li>
+</ul>
+
+<blockquote><p><span class="caps">NOTE</span>: Hierarchical Ledger Manager is more suitable to manage large number of ledgers existed in BookKeeper.</p></blockquote>

+<p>This guide contains detailed information about using BookKeeper for write ahead logging. It discusses the basic operations BookKeeper supports, and how to create logs and perform basic read and write operations on these logs. The main classes used by BookKeeper client are <a href="./apidocs/org/apache/bookkeeper/client/BookKeeper.html">BookKeeper</a> and <a href="./apidocs/org/apache/bookkeeper/client/LedgerHandle.html">LedgerHandle</a>. </p>
 
-<h1> Instantiating BookKeeper.</h1>
+<p>BookKeeper is the main client used to create, open and delete ledgers. A ledger is a log file in BookKeeper, which contains a sequence of entries. Only the client which creates a ledger can write to it. A LedgerHandle represents the ledger to the client, and allows the client to read and write entries. When the client is finished writing they can close the LedgerHandle. Once a ledger has been closed, all client who read from it are guaranteed to read the exact same entries in the exact same order. All methods of BookKeeper and LedgerHandle have synchronous and asynchronous versions. Internally the synchronous versions are implemented using the asynchronous.</p>
 
-<p>The first step to use BookKeeper is to instantiate a BookKeeper object: </p>
+<h1> Instantiating BookKeeper</h1>
 
-<p> <code>org.apache.bookkeeper.BookKeeper </code> </p>
+<p>To create a BookKeeper client, you need to create a configuration object and set the address of the ZooKeeper ensemble in use. For example, if you were using <code>zk1.example.com:2181,zk2.example.com:2181,zk3.example.com:2181</code> as your ensemble, you would create the BookKeeper client as follows.</p>
 
-<p>There are three BookKeeper constructors: </p>
 
-<p> <code>public BookKeeper(String servers) throws KeeperException, IOException </code> </p>
 
-<p>where: </p>
-
-<ul>
-<li> <code>servers</code> is a comma-separated list of ZooKeeper servers. </li>
-</ul>
-
-
-<p> <code>public BookKeeper(ZooKeeper zk) throws InterruptedException, KeeperException </code> </p>
-
-<p>where: </p>
-
-<ul>
-<li> <code>zk</code> is a ZooKeeper object. This constructor is useful when the application also using ZooKeeper and wants to have a single instance of ZooKeeper. </li>
-</ul>
-
-
-<p> <code>public BookKeeper(ZooKeeper zk, ClientSocketChannelFactory channelFactory) throws InterruptedException, KeeperException </code> </p>
-
-<p>where: </p>
-
-<ul>
-<li> <code>zk</code> is a ZooKeeper object. This constructor is useful when the application also using ZooKeeper and wants to have a single instance of ZooKeeper. </li>
-<li> <code>channelFactory</code> is a netty channel object ( <code>org.jboss.netty.channel.socket</code> ). </li>
-</ul>
-
-
-<h1> Creating a ledger. </h1>
-
-<p>Before writing entries to BookKeeper, it is necessary to create a ledger. With the current BookKeeper <span class="caps">API, </span>it is possible to create a ledger both synchronously or asynchronously. The following methods belong to <code>org.apache.bookkeeper.client.BookKeeper</code> . </p>
-
-<p> <em>Synchronous call:</em> </p>
-
-<p> <code>public LedgerHandle createLedger(int ensSize, int qSize, DigestType type,  byte passwd[]) throws KeeperException, InterruptedException, IOException, BKException </code> </p>
-
-<p>where: </p>
-
-<ul>
-<li> <code>ensSize</code> is the number of bookies (ensemble size); </li>
-<li> <code>qSize</code> is the write quorum size; </li>
-<li> <code>type</code> is the type of digest used with entries: either <span class="caps">MAC </span>or <span class="caps">CRC32. </span></li>
-<li> <code>passwd</code> is a password that authorizes the client to write to the ledger being created. </li>
-</ul>
-
-
-<p>All further operations on a ledger are invoked through the <code>LedgerHandle</code> object returned. </p>
-
-<p>As a convenience, we provide a <code>createLedger</code> with default parameters (3,2,VERIFIABLE), and the only two input parameters it requires are a digest type and a password. </p>
-
-<p> <em>Asynchronous call:</em> </p>
-
-<p> <code>public void asyncCreateLedger(int ensSize, int qSize, DigestType type, byte passwd[], CreateCallback cb, Object ctx ) </code> </p>
-
-<p>The parameters are the same of the synchronous version, with the exception of <code>cb</code> and <code>ctx</code> . <code>CreateCallback</code> is an interface in <code>org.apache.bookkeeper.client.AsyncCallback</code> , and a class implementing it has to implement a method called <code>createComplete</code> that has the following signature: </p>
-
-<p> <code>void createComplete(int rc, LedgerHandle lh, Object ctx); </code> </p>
-
-<p>where: </p>
-
-<ul>
-<li> <code>rc</code> is a return code (please refer to <code>org.apache.bookeeper.client.BKException</code> for a list); </li>
-<li> <code>lh</code> is a <code>LedgerHandle</code> object to manipulate a ledger; </li>
-<li> <code>ctx</code> is a control object for accountability purposes. It can be essentially any object the application is happy with. </li>
-</ul>
-
-
-<p>The <code>ctx</code> object passed as a parameter to the call to create a ledger is the one same returned in the callback. </p>
-
-<h1> Adding entries to a ledger. </h1>
-
-<p>Once we have a ledger handle <code>lh</code> obtained through a call to create a ledger, we can start writing entries. As with creating ledgers, we can write both synchronously and asynchronously. The following methods belong to <code>org.apache.bookkeeper.client.LedgerHandle</code> . </p>
-
-<p> <em>Synchronous call:</em> </p>
-
-<p> <code>public long addEntry(byte[] data) throws InterruptedException </code> </p>
-
-<p>where: </p>
-
-<ul>
-<li> <code>data</code> is a byte array; </li>
-</ul>
+<pre><code>
+ClientConfiguration conf = new ClientConfiguration();
+conf.setZkServers(&quot;zk1.example.com:2181,zk2.example.com:2181,zk3.example.com:2181&quot;); 
 
+BookKeeper client = new BookKeeper(conf);
+</code></pre>
 
-<p>A call to <code>addEntry</code> returns the status of the operation (please refer to <code>org.apache.bookeeper.client.BKDefs</code> for a list); </p>
 
-<p> <em>Asynchronous call:</em> </p>
 
-<p> <code>public void asyncAddEntry(byte[] data, AddCallback cb, Object ctx) </code> </p>
+<p>It is important to close the client once you are finished working with it. The set calls on ClientConfiguration are chainable, so instead of putting a set* call on a new line as above, it is possible to make a number of calls on the one line. For example;</p>
 
-<p>It also takes a byte array as the sequence of bytes to be stored as an entry. Additionaly, it takes a callback object <code>cb</code> and a control object <code>ctx</code> . The callback object must implement the <code>AddCallback</code> interface in <code>org.apache.bookkeeper.client.AsyncCallback</code> , and a class implementing it has to implement a method called <code>addComplete</code> that has the following signature: </p>
 
-<p> <code>void addComplete(int rc, LedgerHandle lh, long entryId, Object ctx); </code> </p>
 
-<p>where: </p>
+<pre><code>
+ClientConfiguration conf = new ClientConfiguration().setZkServers(&quot;localhost:2181&quot;).setZkTimeout(5000);
+</code></pre>
 
-<ul>
-<li> <code>rc</code> is a return code (please refer to <code>org.apache.bookeeper.client.BKDefs</code> for a list); </li>
-<li> <code>lh</code> is a <code>LedgerHandle</code> object to manipulate a ledger; </li>
-<li> <code>entryId</code> is the identifier of entry associated with this request; </li>
-<li> <code>ctx</code> is control object used for accountability purposes. It can be any object the application is happy with. </li>
-</ul>
 
 
-<h1> Closing a ledger. </h1>
+<p>There is also a useful shortcut constructor which allows you to pass the zookeeper ensemble string directly to BookKeeper.</p>
 
-<p>Once a client is done writing, it closes the ledger. The following methods belong to <code>org.apache.bookkeeper.client.LedgerHandle</code> . </p>
 
-<p> <em>Synchronous close:</em> </p>
+<pre><code>
+BookKeeper client = new BookKeeper(&quot;localhost:2181&quot;);
+</code></pre>
 
-<p> <code>public void close() throws InterruptedException </code> </p>
 
-<p>It takes no input parameters. </p>
 
-<p> <em>Asynchronous close:</em> </p>
+<p>See <a href="./apidocs/org/apache/bookkeeper/client/BookKeeper.html">BookKeeper</a> for the full api.</p>
 
-<p> <code>public void asyncClose(CloseCallback cb, Object ctx) throws InterruptedException </code> </p>
 
-<p>It takes a callback object <code>cb</code> and a control object <code>ctx</code> . The callback object must implement the <code>CloseCallback</code> interface in <code>org.apache.bookkeeper.client.AsyncCallback</code> , and a class implementing it has to implement a method called <code>closeComplete</code> that has the following signature: </p>
+<h1> Creating a ledger</h1>
 
-<p> <code>void closeComplete(int rc, LedgerHandle lh, Object ctx) </code> </p>
+<p>Before writing entries to BookKeeper, it is necessary to create a ledger. Before creating the ledger you must decide the ensemble size and the quorum size. </p>
 
-<p>where: </p>
+<p>The ensemble size is the number of Bookies over which entries will be striped. The quorum size is the number of bookies which an entry will be written to. Striping is done in a round robin fashion. For example, if you have an ensemble size of 3 (consisting of bk1, bk2 &amp; bk3), and a quorum of 2, entry 1 will be written to bk1 &amp; bk2, entry 2 will be written to bk2 &amp; bk3, entry 3 will be written to bk3 &amp; bk1 and so on.</p>
 
-<ul>
-<li> <code>rc</code> is a return code (please refer to <code>org.apache.bookeeper.client.BKDefs</code> for a list); </li>
-<li> <code>lh</code> is a <code>LedgerHandle</code> object to manipulate a ledger; </li>
-<li> <code>ctx</code> is control object used for accountability purposes. </li>
-</ul>
+<p>Ledgers are also created with a digest type and password. The digest type is used to generate a checksum so that when reading entries we can ensure that the content is the same as what was written. The password is used as an access control mechanism.</p>
 
+<p>To create a ledger, with ensemble size 3, quorum size 2, using a <span class="caps">CRC </span>to checksum and "foobar" as the password, do the following:</p>
 
-<h1> Opening a ledger. </h1>
 
-<p>To read from a ledger, a client must open it first. The following methods belong to <code>org.apache.bookkeeper.client.BookKeeper</code> . </p>
 
-<p> <em>Synchronous open:</em> </p>
+<pre><code>
+LedgerHandle lh = client.createLedger(3, 2, DigestType.CRC32, &quot;foobar&quot;);
+</code></pre>
 
-<p> <code>public LedgerHandle openLedger(long lId, DigestType type, byte passwd[]) throws InterruptedException, BKException </code> </p>
 
-<ul>
-<li> <code>lId</code> is the ledger identifier; </li>
-<li> <code>type</code> is the type of digest used with entries: either <span class="caps">MAC </span>or <span class="caps">CRC32. </span></li>
-<li> <code>passwd</code> is a password to access the ledger (used only in the case of <code>VERIFIABLE</code> ledgers); </li>
-</ul>
 
+<p>You can now write to this ledger handle. As you probably plan to read the ledger at some stage, now is a good time to store the id of the ledger somewhere. The ledger id is a long, and can be obtained with <code>lh.getId()</code>.</p>
 
-<p> <em>Asynchronous open:</em> </p>
+<h1> Adding entries to a ledger</h1>
 
-<p> <code>public void asyncOpenLedger(long lId, DigestType type, byte passwd[], OpenCallback cb, Object ctx) </code> </p>
+<p>Once you have obtained a ledger handle, you can start adding entries to it. Entries are simply arrays of bytes. As such, adding entries to the ledger is rather simple.</p>
 
-<p>It also takes a a ledger identifier and a password. Additionaly, it takes a callback object  <code>cb</code> and a control object <code>ctx</code> . The callback object must implement the <code>OpenCallback</code> interface in <code>org.apache.bookkeeper.client.AsyncCallback</code> , and a class implementing it has to implement a method called <code>openComplete</code> that has the following signature: </p>
 
-<p> <code>public void openComplete(int rc, LedgerHandle lh, Object ctx) </code> </p>
 
-<p>where: </p>
+<pre><code>

-<li> <code>lh</code> is a <code>LedgerHandle</code> object to manipulate a ledger; </li>
-<li> <code>ctx</code> is control object used for accountability purposes. </li>
-</ul>
 
-<p>The two calls above to open a ledger recover the ledger if it has not been closed properly before it reads entries from it. It is also possible to open a ledger and read from it without triggering the recovery process with the following methods of <code>org.apache.bookkeeper.client.BookKeeper</code> . </p>
 
-<p> <em>Synchronous open:</em> </p>
+<h1> Closing a ledger</h1>
 
-<p> <code>public LedgerHandle openLedgerNoRecovery(long lId, DigestType type, byte passwd[]) throws InterruptedException, BKException </code> </p>
+<p>Once a client is done writing, it can closes the ledger. Closing the ledger is a very important step in BookKeeper, as once a ledger is closed, all reading clients are guaranteed to read the same sequence of entries in the same order. Closing takes no parameters. </p>
 
-<ul>
-<li> <code>lId</code> is the ledger identifier; </li>
-<li> <code>type</code> is the type of digest used with entries: either <span class="caps">MAC </span>or <span class="caps">CRC32. </span></li>
-<li> <code>passwd</code> is a password to access the ledger (used only in the case of <code>VERIFIABLE</code> ledgers); </li>
-</ul>
 
 
-<p> <em>Asynchronous open:</em> </p>
+<pre><code>
+lh.close();
+</code></pre>
 
-<p> <code>public void asyncOpenLedgerNoRecovery(long lId, DigestType type, byte passwd[], OpenCallback cb, Object ctx) </code> </p>
 
-<p>It also takes a a ledger identifier and a password. Additionaly, it takes a callback object  <code>cb</code> and a control object <code>ctx</code> . The callback object must implement the <code>OpenCallback</code> interface in <code>org.apache.bookkeeper.client.AsyncCallback</code> , and a class implementing it has to implement a method called <code>openComplete</code> that has the following signature: </p>
 
-<p> <code>public void openComplete(int rc, LedgerHandle lh, Object ctx) </code> </p>
+<h1> Opening a ledger</h1>
 
-<p>where: </p>
+<p>To read from a ledger, a client must open it first. To open a ledger you must know its <span class="caps">ID, </span>which digest type was used when creating it, and its password. To open the ledger we created above, assuming it has ID 1;</p>

-<li> <code>lastEntry</code> is the identifier of the last entry in the sequence of entries to read. </li>
-</ul>
-

-</ul>
+<p>You can now read entries from the ledger. Any attempt to write to this handle will throw an exception.</p>
 
+<blockquote><p><span class="caps">NOTE</span>: Opening a ledger, which another client already has open for writing will prevent that client from writing any new entries to it. If you do not wish this to happen, you should use the openLedgerNoRecovery method. However, keep in mind that without recovery, you lose the guarantees of what entries are in the ledger. You should only use openLedgerNoRecovery if you know what you are doing.</p></blockquote>
 
-<h1> Deleting a ledger </h1>
+<h1>Reading entries from a ledger</h1>
 
-<p>Once a client is done with a ledger and is sure that nobody will ever need to read from it again, they can delete the ledger. The following methods belong to <code>org.apache.bookkeeper.client.BookKeeper</code> . </p>
+<p>Now that you have an open ledger, you can read entries from it. You can use <code>getLastAddConfirmed</code> to get the id of the last entry in the ledger.</p>
