+<p>
+	BookKeeper is a replicated service to reliably log streams of records. In BookKeeper, 
+	servers are "bookies", log streams are "ledgers", and each unit of a log (aka record) is a 
+	"ledger entry". BookKeeper is designed to be reliable; bookies, the servers that store 
+	ledgers, can crash, corrupt data, discard data, but as long as there are enough bookies 
+	behaving correctly the service as a whole behaves correctly.
+	</p>
+<p>
+    The initial motivation for BookKeeper comes from the namenode of HDFS. Namenodes have to 
+    log operations in a reliable fashion so that recovery is possible in the case of crashes. 
+    We have found the applications for BookKeeper extend far beyond HDFS, however. Essentially, 
+    any application that requires an append storage can replace their implementations with
+    BookKeeper. BookKeeper has the advantage of scaling throughput with the number of servers. 
+    </p>
+<p>
+    At a high level, a bookkeeper client receives entries from a client application and stores it to
+    sets of bookies, and there are a few advantages in having such a service:
+	</p>
+<ul>
+    
+<li>
+    
+<p>
+    	We can use hardware that is optimized for such a service. We currently believe that such a
+      	system has to be optimized only for disk I/O;
+    </p>
+    
+</li>
+    
+    
+<li>
+    
+<p>
+    	We can have a pool of servers implementing such a log system, and shared among a number of servers;
+    </p>
+    
+</li>
+    
+    
+<li>
+    
+<p>
+    	We can have a higher degree of replication with such a pool, which makes sense if the hardware necessary for it is cheaper compared to the one the application uses. 
+	</p>
+	
+</li>
+	
+</ul>
+<a name="bk_moreDetail"></a>
+<h3 class="h4">In slightly more detail...</h3>
+<p> BookKeeper implements highly available logs, and it has been designed with write-ahead logging in mind. Besides high availability
+    due to the replicated nature of the service, it provides high throughput due to striping. As we write entries in a subset of bookies of an
+    ensemble and rotate writes across available quorums, we are able to increase throughput with the number of servers for both reads and writes. 
+    Scalability is a property that is possible to achieve in this case due to the use of quorums. Other replication techniques, such as 
+    state-machine replication, do not enable such a property. 
+    </p>
+<p> An application first creates a ledger before writing to bookies through a local BookKeeper client instance.   
+  	Upon creating a ledger, a BookKeeper client writes metadata about the ledger to ZooKeeper. Each ledger currently 
+  	has a single writer. This writer has to execute a close ledger operation before any other client can read from it. 
+  	If the writer of a ledger does not close a ledger properly because, for example, it has crashed before having the 
+  	opportunity of closing the ledger, then the next client that tries to open a ledger executes a procedure to recover
+  	it. As closing a ledger consists essentially of writing the last entry written to a ledger to ZooKeeper, the recovery
+  	procedure simply finds the last entry written correctly and writes it to ZooKeeper.	
+	</p>
+<p>
+	Note that currently this recovery procedure is executed automatically upon trying to open a ledger and no explicit action is necessary. 
+	Although two clients may try to recover a ledger concurrently, only one will succeed, the first one that is able to create the close znode
+	for the ledger.
+	</p>
+<a name="bk_basicComponents"></a>
+<h3 class="h4">Bookkeeper elements and concepts</h3>
+<p> 
+	BookKeeper uses four basic elements:
+	</p>
+<ul>
+      
+<li>
+      
+<p> 
+		
+<strong>Ledger</strong>: A ledger is a sequence of entries, and each entry is a sequence of bytes. Entries are
+		written sequentially to a ledger and at most once. Consequently, ledgers have an append-only semantics;
+	  </p>
+	  
+</li>
+	
+	  
+<li>
+	  
+<p> 
+		
+<strong>BookKeeper client</strong>: A client runs along with a BookKeeper application, and it enables applications
+		to execute operations on ledgers, such as creating a ledger and writing to it; 
+	  </p>
+	  
+</li> 
+	
+	  
+<li>
+	  
+<p>
+		
+<strong>Bookie</strong>: A bookie is a BookKeeper storage server. Bookies store the content of ledgers. For any given
+		ledger L, we call an <em>ensemble</em> the group of bookies storing the content of L. For performance, we store on
+		each bookie of an ensemble only a fragment of a ledger. That is, we stripe when writing entries to a ledger such that
+		each entry is written to sub-group of bookies of the ensemble.
+	  </p>
+	  
+</li>
+
+	  
+<li>
+	  
+<p> 	
+		
+<strong>Metadata storage service</strong>: BookKeeper requires a metadata storage service to store information related 
+		to ledgers and available bookies. We currently use ZooKeeper for such a task.     
+   	  </p>
+   	  
+</li>
+    
+</ul>
+<a name="bk_initialDesign"></a>
+<h3 class="h4">Bookkeeper initial design</h3>
+<p>
+    A set of bookies implements BookKeeper, and we use a quorum-based protocol to replicate data across the bookies. 
+    There are basically two operations to an existing ledger: read and append. Here is the complete API list 
+    (mode detail <a href="bookkeeperProgrammer.html">
+    	      here</a>):
+	</p>
+<ul>
+	
+<li>
+	
+<p>
+    	Create ledger: creates a new empty ledger; 
+    </p>
+    
+</li>
+    
+    
+<li>
+	
+<p>
+    	Open ledger: opens an existing ledger for reading;
+    </p>
+    
+</li>
+    
+    
+<li>
+	
+<p>
+    	Add entry: adds a record to a ledger either synchronously or asynchronously;
+    </p>
+    
+</li>
+    
+    
+<li>
+	
+<p>
+    Read entries: reads a sequence of entries from a ledger either synchronously or asynchronously 
+	</p>
+    
+</li>
+	
+</ul>
+<p>
+	There is only a single client that can write to a ledger. Once that ledger is closed or the client fails, 
+	no more entries can be added. (We take advantage of this behavior to provide our strong guarantees.) 
+	There will not be gaps in the ledger. Fingers get broken, people get roughed up or end up in prison when
+	books are manipulated, so there is no deleting or changing of entries.
+	</p>

+<p>
+    A simple use of BooKeeper is to implement a write-ahead transaction log. A server maintains an in-memory data structure
+    (with periodic snapshots for example) and logs changes to that structure before it applies the change. The application 
+    server creates a ledger at startup and store the ledger id and password in a well known place (ZooKeeper maybe). When 
+    it needs to make a change, the server adds an entry with the change information to a ledger and apply the change when 
+    BookKeeper adds the entry successfully. The server can even use asyncAddEntry to queue up many changes for high change
+    throughput. BooKeeper meticulously logs the changes in order and call the completion functions in order.
+	</p>
+<p>
+    When the application server dies, a backup server will come online, get the last snapshot and then it will open the 
+    ledger of the old server and read all the entries from the time the snapshot was taken. (Since it doesn't know the 
+    last entry number it will use MAX_INTEGER). Once all the entries have been processed, it will close the ledger and 
+    start a new one for its use. 
+	</p>
+<p>
+	A client library takes care of communicating with bookies and managing entry numbers. An entry has the following fields:
+	</p>
+<table class="ForrestTable" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="4">
+<caption>Entry fields</caption>
+<title>Entry fields</title>
+	
+	
+<tr>
+  	
+<th>Field</th>
+  	<th>Type</th>
+  	<th>Description</th>
+	
+</tr>
+	
+	
+<tr>
+  	
+<td>Ledger number</td>
+  	<td>long</td>
+  	<td>The id of the ledger of this entry</td>
+	
+</tr>
+	
+<tr>
+  	
+<td>Entry number</td>
+  	<td>long</td>
+  	<td>The id of this entry</td>
+	
+</tr>
+	
+	
+<tr>
+  	
+<td>last confirmed (<em>LC</em>)</td>
+  	<td>long</td>
+  	<td>id of the last recorded entry</td>
+	
+</tr>
+	
+<tr>
+  	
+<td>data</td>
+  	<td>byte[]</td>
+  	<td>the entry data (supplied by application)</td>
+	
+</tr>
+	
+<tr>
+  	
+<td>authentication code</td>
+  	<td>byte[]</td>
+  	<td>Message authentication code that includes all other fields of the entry</td>
+	
+</tr>
+	
+	
+	
+</table>
+<p>
+	The client library generates a ledger entry. None of the fields are modified by the bookies and only the first three 
+	fields are interpreted by the bookies.
+	</p>
+<p>
+	To add to a ledger, the client generates the entry above using the ledger number. The entry number will be one more 
+	than the last entry generated. The <em>LC</em> field contains the last entry that has been successfully recorded by BookKeeper. 
+	If the client writes entries one at a time, <em>LC</em> is the last entry id. But, if the client is using asyncAddEntry, there 
+	may be many entries in flight. An entry is considered recorded when both of the following conditions are met:
+	</p>
+<ul>
+	
+<li>
+    
+<p>
+    	the entry has been accepted by a quorum of bookies
+    </p>
+    
+</li>
+    
+    
+<li>
+    
+<p>
+    	all entries with a lower entry id have been accepted by a quorum of bookies 
+	</p>
+	
+</li>
+    
+</ul>
+<p>
+	
+<em>LC</em> seems mysterious right now, but it is too early to explain how we use it; just smile and move on.
+	</p>
+<p>
+	Once all the other fields have been field in, the client generates an authentication code with all of the previous fields. 
+	The entry is then sent to a quorum of bookies to be recorded. Any failures will result in the entry being sent to a new
+	quorum of bookies.
+	</p>
+<p>
+	To read, the client library initially contacts a bookie and starts requesting entries. If an entry is missing or 
+	invalid (a bad MAC for example), the client will make a request to a different bookie. By using quorum writes, 
+	as long as enough bookies are up we are guaranteed to eventually be able to read an entry.
+	</p>
+<a name="bk_metadata"></a>
+<h3 class="h4">Bookkeeper metadata management</h3>
+<p>
+	There are some meta data that needs to be made available to BookKeeper clients:
+	</p>
+<ul>
+	
+<li>
+	
+<p>
+		The available bookies;
+	</p>
+	
+</li>
+	
+	
+<li>
+	
+<p>
+    	The list of ledgers;
+    </p>
+    
+</li>
+    
+    
+<li>
+	
+<p>
+    	The list of bookies that have been used for a given ledger;
+    </p>
+    
+</li>
+    
+    
+<li>
+	
+<p>
+    	The last entry of a ledger; 
+	</p>
+	
+</li>
+	
+</ul>
+<p>
+	We maintain this information in ZooKeeper. Bookies use ephemeral nodes to indicate their availability. Clients 
+	use znodes to track ledger creation and deletion and also to know the end of the ledger and the bookies that 
+	were used to store the ledger. Bookies also watch the ledger list so that they can cleanup ledgers that get deleted.
+	</p>
+<a name="bk_closingOut"></a>
+<h3 class="h4">Closing out ledgers</h3>
+<p>
+	The process of closing out the ledger and finding the last ledger is difficult due to the durability guarantees of BookKeeper:
+	</p>
+<ul>
+	
+<li>
+	
+<p>
+    	If an entry has been successfully recorded, it must be readable.
+    </p>
+    
+</li>
+    
+    
+<li>
+	
+<p>
+    	If an entry is read once, it must always be available to be read. 
+	</p>
+	
+</li>
+	
+</ul>
+<p>
+	If the ledger was closed gracefully, ZooKeeper will have the last entry and everything will work well. But, if the 
+	BookKeeper client that was writing the ledger dies, there is some recovery that needs to take place.
+	</p>
+<p>
+	The problematic entries are the ones at the end of the ledger. There can be entries in flight when a BookKeeper client 
+	dies. If the entry only gets to one bookie, the entry should not be readable since the entry will disappear if that bookie
+	fails. If the entry is only on one bookie, that doesn't mean that the entry has not been recorded successfully; the other
+	bookies that recorded the entry might have failed.
+	</p>
+<p>
+	The trick to making everything work is to have a correct idea of a last entry. We do it in roughly three steps:
+	</p>
+<ol>
+	
+<li>
+	
+<p>
+		Find the entry with the highest last recorded entry, <em>LC</em>;
+	</p>
+	
+</li>
+	
+	
+<li>
+	
+<p>
+		Find the highest consecutively recorded entry, <em>LR</em>;
+	</p>
+	
+</li>
+	
+	
+<li>
+	
+<p>
+		Make sure that all entries between <em>LC</em> and <em>LR</em> are on a quorum of bookies; 
+	</p>
+	
+</li>
+	
+	
+</ol>

+<h3 class="h4"> Instantiating BookKeeper.</h3>
+<p>
+    The first step to use BookKeeper is to instantiate a BookKeeper object:
+    </p>
+<p>
+    
+<span class="codefrag computeroutput">
+    org.apache.bookkeeper.BookKeeper
+    </span>
+    
+</p>
+<p>
+    There are three BookKeeper constructors:
+    </p>
+<p>
+    
+<span class="codefrag computeroutput">
+	public BookKeeper(String servers) 
+    	throws KeeperException, IOException

+<ul>
+    	
+<li>
+    	
+<p> 
+        
+<span class="codefrag computeroutput">servers</span> is a comma-separated list of ZooKeeper servers.
+    	</p>
+

+<span class="codefrag computeroutput">

+        
+<span class="codefrag computeroutput">zk</span> is a ZooKeeper object. This constructor is useful when
+        the application also using ZooKeeper and wants to have a single instance of ZooKeeper.  
+    	</p>

+</li>
+    
+</ul>
+<p>
+    
+<span class="codefrag computeroutput">

+    
+</ul>
+<a name="bk_createLedger"></a>
+<h3 class="h4"> Creating a ledger. </h3>
+<p> Before writing entries to BookKeeper, it is necessary to create a ledger. 
+    With the current BookKeeper API, it is possible to create a ledger both synchronously
+    or asynchronously. The following methods belong
+    to <span class="codefrag computeroutput">org.apache.bookkeeper.client.BookKeeper</span>.
+    </p>
+<p>
+   	
+<strong>Synchronous call:</strong>
+   	
+</p>
+<p>
+    
+<span class="codefrag computeroutput">
+    public LedgerHandle createLedger(int ensSize, int qSize, DigestType type,  byte passwd[])
+        throws KeeperException, InterruptedException, 
+        IOException, BKException
+    </span>
+	
+</p>
+<p>
+    where:

+<ul>
+    	
+<li>
+    	
+<p> 
+    	
+<span class="codefrag computeroutput">ensSize</span> is the number of bookies (ensemble size);
+    	</p>
+    	
+</li>
+    
+    	
+<li>

+<p>
+    	
+<span class="codefrag computeroutput">qSize</span> is the write quorum size;
+    	</p>

+<p>
+

+    	ledger being created.
+    	</p>
+    	
+</li>
+    
+</ul>
+<p>
+    All further operations on a ledger are invoked through the <span class="codefrag computeroutput">LedgerHandle</span>
+    object returned.
+    </p>
+<p>
+    As a convenience, we provide a <span class="codefrag computeroutput">createLedger</span> with default parameters (3,2,VERIFIABLE), 
+    and the only two input parameters it requires are a digest type and a password.
+    </p>
+<p>

+<a name="bk_writeLedger"></a>
+<h3 class="h4"> Adding entries to a ledger. </h3>
+<p>
+    Once we have a ledger handle <span class="codefrag computeroutput">lh</span> 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

+    It also takes a byte array as the sequence of bytes to be stored as an entry. Additionaly, it takes
+    a callback object <span class="codefrag computeroutput">cb</span> and a control object <span class="codefrag computeroutput">ctx</span>. The callback object must implement

+<p>This document contains information to get you started quickly with
+    BookKeeper. It is aimed primarily at developers willing to try it out, and
+    contains simple installation instructions for a simple BookKeeper installation
+    and a simple programming example. For further programming detail, please refer to 
+    <a href="bookkeeperProgrammer.html">BookKeeper Programmer's Guide</a>.
+    </p>
+<a name="bk_Prerequisites"></a>
+<h3 class="h4">Pre-requisites</h3>
+<p>See <a href="bookkeeperConfig.html#bk_sysReq">
+    	      System Requirements</a> in the Admin guide.</p>
+<a name="bk_Download"></a>
+<h3 class="h4">Download</h3>
+<p> BookKeeper is distributed along with ZooKeeper. To get a ZooKeeper distribution, 
+			   download a recent
+    	    <a href="http://hadoop.apache.org/zookeeper/releases.html">
+        	  stable</a> release from one of the Apache Download
+       	 Mirrors.</p>
+<a name="bk_localBK"></a>
+<h3 class="h4">LocalBookKeeper</h3>
+<p> Under org.apache.bookkeeper.util, you'll find a java program
+		called LocalBookKeeper.java that sets you up to run BookKeeper on a 
+		single machine. This is far from ideal from a performance perspective,
+		but the program is useful for both test and educational purposes.
+		</p>
+<a name="bk_setupBookies"></a>
+<h3 class="h4">Setting up bookies</h3>
+<p> If you're bold and you want more than just running things locally, then
+		you'll need to run bookies in different servers. You'll need at least three bookies
+		to start with.  
+		</p>
+<p>
+		For each bookie, we need to execute a command like the following:
+		</p>
+<p>
+<span class="codefrag computeroutput">
+		java -cp .:./zookeeper-&lt;version&gt;-bookkeeper.jar:./zookeeper-&lt;version&gt;.jar:../log4j/apache-log4j-1.2.15/log4j-1.2.15.jar\
+		-Dlog4j.configuration=log4j.properties org.apache.bookkeeper.proto.BookieServer 3181 /path_to_log_device/\
+		/path_to_ledger_device/
+		</span>
+</p>
+<p> "/path_to_log_device/" and "/path_to_ledger_device/" are different paths. Also, port 3181
+		is the port that a bookie listens on for connection requests from clients. 
+		</p>
+<a name="bk_setupZK"></a>
+<h3 class="h4">Setting up ZooKeeper</h3>
+<p> ZooKeeper stores metadata on behalf of BookKeeper clients and bookies. To get a minimal 
+	  	ZooKeeper installation to work with BookKeeper, we can set up one server running in
+	  	standalone mode. Once we have the server running, we need to create a few znodes:
+	  	</p>
+<ol>
+	  	
+<li>
+	  	
+<p>
+<span class="codefrag computeroutput">
+	  	/ledgers	
+	  	</span>
+</p>
+	  	
+</li>
+	  	
+	  	
+<li>
+	  	
+<p>
+<span class="codefrag computeroutput">
+	  	/ledgers/available
+	  	</span>
+</p>
+	  	
+</li>
+	  	
+	  	
+<li>
+	  	
+<p> For each bookie, we add one znode such that the name of the znode is the
+	  	concatenation of the machine name and the port number that the bookie is 
+	  	listening on. For example, if a bookie is running on bookie.foo.com an is listening 
+	  	on port 3181, we add a znode 
+	  	<span class="codefrag computeroutput">/ledgers/available/bookie.foo.com:3181</span>.  
+	  	</p>
+	  	
+</li>
+	  	
+</ol>
+<a name="bk_example"></a>
+<h3 class="h4">Example</h3>
+<p>
+	    In the following excerpt of code, we:
+	    </p>
+<ol>
+	    	
+<li>
+	    	
+<p>

+<div class="section">
+<p>
+    When using the BookKeeper API, an application has to split the data to write into entries, each
+    entry being a byte array. This is natural for many applications. For example, when using BookKeeper
+    for write-ahead logging, an application typically wants to write the modifications corresponding
+    to a command or a transaction. Some other applications, however, might not have a natural boundary
+    for entries, and may prefer to write and read streams of bytes. This is exactly the purpose of the
+    stream API we have implemented on top of BookKeeper.
+    </p>
+<p>
+    The stream API is implemented in the package <span class="codefrag computeroutput">Streaming</span>, and it contains two main classes: <span class="codefrag computeroutput">LedgerOutputStream</span> and 
+    <span class="codefrag computeroutput">LedgerInputStream</span>. The class names are indicative of what they do.
