Hi Arun, I am also a newcomer to DistributedLog, and spent some time reading the documentation. I'd like to share some tips with you, to hopefully make your journey faster.
First of all, I think 0.4.0 has not been released but the documentation I am following is based on that. My goal is to get a proper Docker-based setup running within this week. I did manage, today, to run the stack locally on macOS. - I found this page the best: http://distributedlog.incubator.apache.org/docs/latest/deployment/cluster.html It has almost all the information needed to set things up. At places, there seems to be mistakes, but with a little trying one gets past those. To check that everything actually works, the write tutorial pages (like http://distributedlog.incubator.apache.org/docs/latest/tutorials/basic-1.html ) have good one-liners. Those two pages are all I really needed. As a third pointer, there's a Docker page http://distributedlog.incubator.apache.org/docs/latest/deployment/docker.html that is likely the fastest way to get going. I plan to make a similar, but maybe clearer setup during the week... There are some aspects of DistributedLog that took me a while to get a hang on. For one, both Zookeeper and BookKeeper are delivered as part of the dependencies, and can be run from the versions in the lib/ folder. That's the best, or at least safest way to progress I guess. The documentation seems to be there, but it's like blown into multiple pieces and doesn't currently offer a good linear reading experience. Some pages can be entered from multiple menu positions in the docs page, which I find distracting. I'm hoping to get things up, understanding the vision and technical layout of DistributedLog, so that I can be helpful in creating an "outside in" documentation for diving into DistributedLog. I think the project has a lot of potential. Nice to have you join it! - asko On 17 December 2016 at 11:20, Arun Khetarpal <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > My name is Arun Khetarpal and I am from India.
