Chukwa documentation

[xa...@orange-ftgroup.com]

Hi Everybody,

I don't know if there is a mail list for Chukwa so I apologies in
advance if this is not the right place to ask my questions.

I have the following questions and comments:

It was simple the configuration of the collector and the agent. 
However, there is other features that are not documented it all like:
- torque (Do I have to install torque before? Yes? No? and Why?), 
- database, (Do I have to have a DB?) 
-what is queueinfo.properties, which kind of information provides me?
-and there is more stuff that I need to dig in the code to understand.
Could somebody update the documentation from Chukwa?.


I hope I can get some help

Xavier

Howdy.

You do not need torque. It's not even helpful, as far as I know.
You don't need a database, but if you don't have one, you'd probably
need to do a bit more work to analyze the collected data in HDFS. If
you were going to be using MapReduce for analysis anyway, that's
probably a non-issue for you.

We're working on documentation, but it's sort of chasing a moving
target, since the Chukwa codebase and configuration interfaces are
still in flux.
