# Apache Accumulo Testing Suite
+
+The Apache Accumulo testing suite contains applications that test and
verify the
+correctness of Accumulo.
+
+## Installation
+
+In order to run the Apache Accumulo testing suite, you will need Java 8
and Maven installed
+on your machine as well as an Accumulo instance to use for testing.
+
+1. First clone this repository.
+
+ git clone g...@github.com:apache/accumulo-testing.git
+ cd accumulo-testing
+
+2. All configuation files for the test suite are in `conf/`. Only the
`accumulo-testing.properties`
+ configuration file needs to be created and edited as all other
configuration files are optional.
+ In `accumulo-testing.properites`, review the properties with
`test.common.*` prefix as these are
+ used by all tests.
+
+ cd conf/
+ cp accumulo-testing.properties.example accumulo-testing.properties
+ vim accumulo-testing.properties
+
+3. Tests are run using the `accumulo-testing` command which is located in
the `bin/`
+ directory. Run this command without any arguments to view its usage and
see available tests.
+
+ ./bin/accumulo-testing
+
+## Random walk test
+
+The random walk test generates client behavior on an Apache Accumulo
instance by randomly walking a
+graph of client operations.
+
+Before running random walk, review the `test.common.*` and
`test.randomwalk.*` properties in
+`accumulo-testing.properties` file. A test module must also be specified.
See the [modules][modules]
+directory for a list of available ones.
+
+The command below will start a single random walker in a local process
using the [Image.xml][image]
+module.
+
+ ./bin/accumulo-testing rw-local Image.xml
+
+If you would like to run multiple, distributed random walkers, run the
command below to start random
+walkers in 5 containers in YARN using the Image.xml module.
+
+ ./bin/accumulo-testing rw-yarn 5 Image.xml
+
+This command will create an application in YARN and exit when test is
completed. While its
+running, you can view logs for each random walker using the YARN resource
manager. The YARN
+application can be killed at any time using `ctrl-c` or via the resource
manager.

So can I ssh to a cluster, start random walk on N node, and then log off?
Maybe I need to run the application that stated the job with nohup.
