Booting a Single Node Cluster

Loading Your Data and All About Queries contain recipes to boot a small druid cluster on localhost. Here we will boot a small cluster on EC2. You can checkout the code, or download a tarball from here.

The ec2 run script, run_ec2.sh, is located at 'examples/bin' if you have checked out the code, or at the root of the project if you've downloaded a tarball. The scripts rely on the Amazon EC2 API Tools, and you will need to set three environment variables:

# Setup environment for ec2-api-tools
export EC2_HOME=/path/to/ec2-api-tools-1.6.7.4/
export PATH=$PATH:$EC2_HOME/bin
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY=
export AWS_SECRET_KEY=

Then, booting an ec2 instance running one node of each type is as simple as running the script, run_ec2.sh :)

Apache Whirr
