+</head>
+
+## Getting Started
+You can get started with Tephra by building directly from the latest source 
code:
+
+```sh
+  git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-tephra.git
+  cd incubator-tephra
+  mvn clean package
+```
+
+After the build completes, you will have a full binary distribution of Tephra 
under the
+`tephra-distribution/target/` directory. Take the `tephra-<version>.tar.gz` 
file and install
+it on your systems.
+
+For any client applications, add the following dependencies to any Apache 
Maven POM files (or your
+build system's equivalent configuration), in order to make use of Tephra 
classes:
+
+```xml
+  <dependency>
+    <groupId>org.apache.tephra</groupId>
+    <artifactId>tephra-api</artifactId>
+    <version>${tephra.version}</version>
+  </dependency>
+  <dependency>
+    <groupId>org.apache.tephra</groupId>
+    <artifactId>tephra-core</artifactId>
+    <version>${tephra.version}</version>
+  </dependency>
+```
+
+Since the HBase APIs have changed between versions, you will need to select the
+appropriate HBase compatibility library.
+
+For HBase 0.96.x:
+
+```xml
+  <dependency>
+    <groupId>org.apache.tephra</groupId>
+    <artifactId>tephra-hbase-compat-0.96</artifactId>
+    <version>${tephra.version}</version>
+  </dependency>
+```
+
+For HBase 0.98.x:
+
+```xml
+  <dependency>
+    <groupId>org.apache.tephra</groupId>
+    <artifactId>tephra-hbase-compat-0.98</artifactId>
+    <version>${tephra.version}</version>
+  </dependency>
+```
+
+For HBase 1.0.x:
+
+```xml
+  <dependency>
+    <groupId>org.apache.tephra</groupId>
+    <artifactId>tephra-hbase-compat-1.0</artifactId>
+    <version>${tephra.version}</version>
+  </dependency>
+```
+
+If you are running the CDH 5.4, 5.5, or 5.6 version of HBase 1.0.x (this 
version contains API incompatibilities
+with Apache HBase 1.0.x):
+
+```xml
+  <dependency>
+    <groupId>org.apache.tephra</groupId>
+    <artifactId>tephra-hbase-compat-1.0-cdh</artifactId>
+    <version>${tephra.version}</version>
+  </dependency>
+```
+
+For HBase 1.1.x or HBase 1.2.x:
+
+```xml
+  <dependency>
+    <groupId>org.apache.tephra</groupId>
+    <artifactId>tephra-hbase-compat-1.1</artifactId>
+    <version>${tephra.version}</version>
+  </dependency>
+```
+
+## Deployment and Configuration
+Tephra makes use of a central transaction server to assign unique transaction 
IDs for data
+modifications and to perform conflict detection. Only a single transaction 
server can actively
+handle client requests at a time, however, additional transaction server 
instances can be run
+simultaneously, providing automatic failover if the active server becomes 
unreachable.
+
+### Transaction Server Configuration
+The Tephra transaction server can be deployed on the same cluster nodes 
running the HBase HMaster
+process. The transaction server requires that the HBase libraries be available 
on the server's
+Java `CLASSPATH`.
+
+The transaction server supports the following configuration properties. All 
configuration
+properties can be added to the `hbase-site.xml` file on the server's 
`CLASSPATH`:
+
+
+| Name                        | Default    | Description                       
                              |
+|-----------------------------|------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `data.tx.bind.port`         | 15165      | Port to bind to                   
                              |
+| `data.tx.bind.address`      | 0.0.0.0    | Server address to listen on       
                              |
+| `data.tx.server.io.threads` | 2          | Number of threads for socket IO   
                              |
+| `data.tx.server.threads`    | 20         | Number of handler threads         
                              |
+| `data.tx.timeout`           | 30         | Timeout for a transaction to 
complete (seconds)                 |
+| `data.tx.long.timeout`      | 86400      | Timeout for a long running 
transaction to complete (seconds)    |
+| `data.tx.cleanup.interval`  | 10         | Frequency to check for timed out 
transactions (seconds)         |
+| `data.tx.snapshot.dir`      |            | HDFS directory used to store 
snapshots of tx state              |
+| `data.tx.snapshot.interval` | 300        | Frequency to write new snapshots  
                              |
+| `data.tx.snapshot.retain`   | 10         | Number of old transaction 
snapshots to retain                   |
+| `data.tx.metrics.period`    | 60         | Frequency for metrics reporting 
(seconds)                       |
+
+To run the Transaction server, execute the following command in your Tephra 
installation:
+
+```sh
+  ./bin/tephra start
+```
+
+Any environment-specific customizations can be made by editing the 
`bin/tephra-env.sh` script.
+
+
+### Client Configuration
+Since Tephra clients will be communicating with HBase, the HBase client 
libraries and the HBase cluster
+configuration must be available on the client's Java `CLASSPATH`.
+
+Client API usage is described in the Client APIs section.
+
+The transaction service client supports the following configuration 
properties. All configuration
+properties can be added to the `hbase-site.xml` file on the client's 
`CLASSPATH`:
+
+| Name                                   | Default   | Description             
                      |
+|----------------------------------------|-----------|-----------------------------------------------|
+| `data.tx.client.timeout`               | 30000     | Client socket timeout 
(milliseconds)          |
+| `data.tx.client.provider`              | pool      | Client provider 
strategy: <ul><li>"pool" uses a pool of clients</li><li>"thread-local" a client 
per thread</li></ul> Note that "thread-local" provider can have a resource leak 
if threads are recycled |
+| `data.tx.client.count`                 | 50        | Max number of clients 
for "pool" provider     |
+| `data.tx.client.obtain.timeout`        | 3000      | Timeout (milliseconds) 
to wait when obtaining clients from the "pool" provider |
+| `data.tx.client.retry.strategy`        | backoff   | Client retry strategy: 
"backoff" for back off between attempts; "n-times" for fixed number of tries |
+| `data.tx.client.retry.attempts`        | 2         | Number of times to 
retry ("n-times" strategy) |
+| `data.tx.client.retry.backoff.initial` | 100       | Initial sleep time 
("backoff" strategy)       |
+| `data.tx.client.retry.backoff.factor`  | 4         | Multiplication factor 
for sleep time          |
+| `data.tx.client.retry.backoff.limit`   | 30000     | Exit when sleep time 
reaches this limit       |
+
+
+### HBase Coprocessor Configuration
+
+In addition to the transaction server, Tephra requires an HBase coprocessor to 
be installed on all
+tables where transactional reads and writes will be performed.
+
+To configure the coprocessor on all HBase tables, add the following to 
`hbase-site.xml`:
+
+```xml
+  <property>
+    <name>hbase.coprocessor.region.classes</name>
+    <value>org.apache.tephra.hbase.coprocessor.TransactionProcessor</value>
+  </property>
+```
+
+You may configure the `TransactionProcessor` to be loaded only on HBase tables 
that you will
+be using for transaction reads and writes. However, you must ensure that the 
coprocessor is
+available on all impacted tables in order for Tephra to function correctly.
+
+### Using Existing HBase Tables Transactionally
+
+Tephra overrides HBase cell timestamps with transaction IDs, and uses these 
transaction
+IDs to filter out cells older than the TTL (Time-To-Live). Transaction IDs are 
at a higher
+scale than cell timestamps. When a regular HBase table that has existing data 
is
+converted to a transactional table, existing data may be filtered out during 
reads. To
+allow reading of existing data from a transactional table, you will need to 
set the
+property `data.tx.read.pre.existing` as `true` on the table's table descriptor.
+
+Note that even without the property `data.tx.read.pre.existing` being set to 
`true`,
+any existing data will not be removed during compactions. Existing data simply 
won't be
+visible during reads.
+
+### Metrics Reporting
+
+Tephra ships with built-in support for reporting metrics via JMX and a log 
file, using the
+[Dropwizard Metrics](http://metrics.dropwizard.io) library.
+
+To enable JMX reporting for metrics, you will need to enable JMX in the Java 
runtime
+arguments. Edit the `bin/tephra-env.sh` script and uncomment the following 
lines, making any
+desired changes to configuration for port used, SSL, and JMX authentication:
+
+```sh
+  export JMX_OPTS="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false 
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false 
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=13001"
+  export OPTS="$OPTS $JMX_OPTS"
+```
+
+To enable file-based reporting for metrics, edit the `conf/logback.xml` file 
and uncomment the
+following section, replacing the `FILE-PATH` placeholder with a valid 
directory on the local
+filesystem:
+
+```xml
+  <appender name="METRICS" 
class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
+    <file>/FILE-PATH/metrics.log</file>
+    <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
+      <fileNamePattern>metrics.log.%d{yyyy-MM-dd}</fileNamePattern>
+      <maxHistory>30</maxHistory>
+    </rollingPolicy>
+    <encoder>
+      <pattern>%d{ISO8601} %msg%n</pattern>
+    </encoder>
+  </appender>
+  <logger name="tephra-metrics" level="TRACE" additivity="false">
+    <appender-ref ref="METRICS" />
+  </logger>
+```
+
+The frequency of metrics reporting may be configured by setting the 
`data.tx.metrics.period`
+configuration property to the report frequency in seconds.
+
+
+## Client APIs
+
+The `TransactionAwareHTable` class implements HBase's `HTableInterface`, thus 
providing the same APIs
+that a standard HBase `HTable` instance provides. Only certain operations are 
supported
+transactionally. These are:
+
+| Methods Supported In Transactions                                            
                     |
+|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `exists(Get get)`                                                            
                     |
+| `exists(List<Get> gets)`                                                     
                     |
+| `get(Get get)`                                                               
                     |
+| `get(List<Get> gets)`                                                        
                     |

                     |
+| `getScanner(byte[] family, byte[] qualifier)`                                
                     |
+| `put(Put put)`                                                               
                     |
+| `put(List<Put> puts)`                                                        
                     |
+| `delete(Delete delete)`                                                      
                     |
+| `delete(List<Delete> deletes)`                                               
                     |
+
+Other operations are not supported transactionally and will throw an 
``UnsupportedOperationException`` if invoked.
+To allow use of these non-transactional operations, call 
``setAllowNonTransactional(true)``. This
+allows you to call the following methods non-transactionally:
+
+| Methods Supported Outside of Transactions                                    
                           |

+
+### Usage
+
+To use a `TransactionalAwareHTable`, you need an instance of 
`TransactionContext`.
+`TransactionContext` provides the basic contract for client use of 
transactions. At each point
+in the transaction lifecycle, it provides the necessary interactions with the 
Tephra Transaction
+Server in order to start, commit, and rollback transactions. Basic usage of
+`TransactionContext` is handled using the following pattern:
+
+```java
+  TransactionContext context = new TransactionContext(client, 
transactionAwareHTable);
+  try {
+    context.start();
+    transactionAwareHTable.put(new Put(Bytes.toBytes("row"));
+    // ...
+    context.finish();
+  } catch (TransactionFailureException e) {
+    context.abort();
+  }
+```
+
+1. First, a new transaction is started using `TransactionContext.start()`.
+1. Next, any data operations are performed within the context of the 
transaction.
+1. After data operations are complete, `TransactionContext.finish()` is called 
to commit the
+   transaction.
+1. If an exception occurs, `TransactionContext.abort()` can be called to 
rollback the
+   transaction.
+
+`TransactionAwareHTable` handles the details of performing data operations 
transactionally, and
+implements the necessary hooks in order to commit and rollback the data 
changes (see
+`TransactionAware`).
+
+### Example
+
+To demonstrate how you might use `TransactionAwareHTable`\s, below is a basic 
implementation of a
+`SecondaryIndexTable`. This class encapsulates the usage of a 
`TransactionContext` and provides a simple interface
+to a user:
+
+```java
+  /**
+   * A Transactional SecondaryIndexTable.
+   */
+  public class SecondaryIndexTable {
+    private byte[] secondaryIndex;
+    private TransactionAwareHTable transactionAwareHTable;
+    private TransactionAwareHTable secondaryIndexTable;
+    private TransactionContext transactionContext;
+    private final TableName secondaryIndexTableName;
+    private static final byte[] secondaryIndexFamily =
+      Bytes.toBytes("secondaryIndexFamily");
+    private static final byte[] secondaryIndexQualifier = Bytes.toBytes('r');
+    private static final byte[] DELIMITER  = new byte[] {0};
+
+    public SecondaryIndexTable(TransactionServiceClient 
transactionServiceClient,
+                               HTable hTable, byte[] secondaryIndex) {
+      secondaryIndexTableName =
+            TableName.valueOf(hTable.getName().getNameAsString() + ".idx");
+      HTable secondaryIndexHTable = null;
+      HBaseAdmin hBaseAdmin = null;
+      try {
+        hBaseAdmin = new HBaseAdmin(hTable.getConfiguration());
+        if (!hBaseAdmin.tableExists(secondaryIndexTableName)) {
+          hBaseAdmin.createTable(new 
HTableDescriptor(secondaryIndexTableName));
+        }
+        secondaryIndexHTable = new HTable(hTable.getConfiguration(),
+                                          secondaryIndexTableName);
+      } catch (Exception e) {
+        Throwables.propagate(e);
+      } finally {
+        try {
+          hBaseAdmin.close();
+        } catch (Exception e) {
+          Throwables.propagate(e);
+        }
+      }
+
+      this.secondaryIndex = secondaryIndex;
+      this.transactionAwareHTable = new TransactionAwareHTable(hTable);
+      this.secondaryIndexTable = new 
TransactionAwareHTable(secondaryIndexHTable);
+      this.transactionContext = new 
TransactionContext(transactionServiceClient,
+                                                       transactionAwareHTable,
+                                                       secondaryIndexTable);

+
+## Known Issues and Limitations
+
+- Currently, column family `Delete` operations are implemented by writing a 
cell with an empty
+  qualifier (empty `byte[]`) and empty value (empty `byte[]`). This is done in 
place of
+  native HBase `Delete` operations so the delete marker can be rolled back in 
the event of
+  a transaction failure -- normal HBase `Delete` operations cannot be undone. 
However, this
+  means that applications that store data in a column with an empty qualifier 
will not be able to
+  store empty values, and will not be able to transactionally delete that 
column.
+- Column `Delete` operations are implemented by writing a empty value (empty 
`byte[]`) to the
+  column. This means that applications will not be able to store empty values 
to columns.
+- Invalid transactions are not automatically cleared from the exclusion list. 
When a transaction is
+  invalidated, either from timing out or being invalidated by the client due 
to a failure to rollback
+  changes, its transaction ID is added to a list of excluded transactions. 
Data from invalidated
+  transactions will be dropped by the `TransactionProcessor` coprocessor on 
HBase region flush
+  and compaction operations. Currently, however, transaction IDs can only be 
manually removed
+  from the list of excluded transaction IDs, using the 
`org.apache.tephra.TransactionAdmin` tool.

+
+<head>
+  <title>Release Guide</title>
+</head>
+
+This page describes the step-by-step process of how to perform an official 
Apache Tephra version release,
+including deploying the release artifacts to Maven repositories and the 
additional administrative
+steps to complete the release process.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Maven Settings File
+Prior to performing an Apache Tephra release, you must have an entry such as 
this in your
+`~/.m2/settings.xml` file to authenticate when deploying the release artifacts:
+
+```xml
+  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+  <settings xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0 
http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd";
+      xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0";
+      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
+    <servers>
+      <server>
+        <id>apache.snapshots.https</id>
+        <username>USERNAME</username>
+        <password>PASSWORD</password>
+      </server>
+      <server>
+        <id>apache.releases.https</id>
+        <username>USERNAME</username>
+        <password>PASSWORD</password>
+      </server>
+    </servers>
+  </settings>
+```
+  
+Replace `USERNAME` and `PASSWORD` with the correct values for your user 
account. See the
+[Maven Encryption 
Guide](http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-encryption.html) for details
+on how to avoid storing the plaintext password in the `settings.xml` file.
+
+### PGP Key
+You will also need to have created a PGP (or GPG) key pair, which will be used 
in signing the release
+artifacts. For more information on using the Maven GPG plugin, see this
+[introduction](http://blog.sonatype.com/2010/01/how-to-generate-pgp-signatures-with-maven/)
 from Sonatype and
+the Maven GPG Plugin [usage 
page](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-gpg-plugin/usage.html).
+You may also want to run gpg-agent in order to avoid being prompted multiple 
times for the GPG key passphrase when
+performing a release.
+
+
+## Performing the Release
+
+### Ensure Local Branch is Up-to-date
+First, make sure your local copy of the `master` branch is up-to-date with all 
changes:
+
+```sh
+  git checkout master
+  git pull
+```
+
+### Create the Release Branch
+Next, create a release branch from `master`:
+
+```sh
+  git checkout -b release/N.N.N
+```
+
+replacing `N.N.N` with the desired release version.
+
+### Prepare the Release
+While on the release branch, prepare the release:
+
+```sh
+  mvn clean release:prepare -P apache-release
+```
+
+This will prompt you for the release version and the git tag to use for the 
release. By
+convention, we use `vN.N.N` for the release tag (ie. v0.6.0 for release 0.6.0).
+
+### Perform the Release
+Perform the release by running:
+
+```sh
+  mvn release:perform -P apache-release
+```
+
+This will checkout the source code using the release tag, build the release 
and deploy it to the
+repository.apache.org repository. Also it creates a source tarball
+`apache-tephra-0.8.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT-source-release.tar.gz` under the 
`target` directory.
+
+### Prepare Release Artifacts
+1. Checkin the source release tarball, together with the signature, md5 and 
sha512 files found in
+   `target/` directory
+   to 
`dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/tephra/${RELEASE_VERSION}-incubating-rc1/src/`.
+1. Create a CHANGES.txt file to describe the changes in the release and 
checkin the file to
+   
`dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/tephra/${RELEASE_VERSION}-incubating-rc1/CHANGES.txt`.
+1. Close the staging repository at <https://repository.apache.org>
+
+
+### Update POM Version in master
+Update the POMs in `master` by:
+
+```sh
+  git checkout master
+  git merge release/N.N.N
+  git push origin master
+```
+
+### Vote for the Release in Dev Mailing List
+Create a vote in the dev@tephra mailing list, and wait for 72 hours for the 
vote result.
+Here is a template for the email:
+
+```

+## What is Apache Tephra <sup>(TM)</sup>
+__Transactions for Apache HBase <sup>(TM)</sup>__: Apache Tephra provides 
globally consistent
+transactions on top of Apache HBase. While HBase provides strong consistency 
with row- or
+region-level ACID operations, it sacrifices cross-region and cross-table 
consistency in favor of
+scalability. This trade-off requires application developers to handle the 
complexity of ensuring
+consistency when their modifications span region boundaries. By providing 
support for global
+transactions that span regions, tables, or multiple RPCs, Tephra simplifies 
application development
+on top of HBase, without a significant impact on performance or scalability 
for many workloads.
+
+## How It Works
+Tephra leverages HBase's native data versioning to provide multi-versioned 
concurrency
+control (MVCC) for transactional reads and writes. With MVCC capability, each 
transaction
+sees its own consistent "snapshot" of data, providing
+[snapshot isolation](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapshot_isolation) of 
concurrent transactions.
+
+Tephra consists of three main components:
+
+- __Transaction Server__ - maintains global view of transaction state, assigns 
new transaction IDs
+  and performs conflict detection;
+- __Transaction Client__ - coordinates start, commit, and rollback of 
transactions; and
+- __TransactionProcessor Coprocessor__ - applies filtering to the data read 
(based on a
+  given transaction's state) and cleans up any data from old (no longer 
visible) transactions.
+
+### Transaction Server
+A central transaction manager generates a globally unique, time-based 
transaction ID for each
+transaction that is started, and maintains the state of all in-progress and 
recently committed
+transactions for conflict detection. While multiple transaction server 
instances can be run
+concurrently for automatic failover, only one server instance is actively 
serving requests at a
+time. This is coordinated by performing leader election amongst the running 
instances through
+[Apache ZooKeeper](https://zookeeper.apache.org). The active transaction 
server instance will
+also register itself using a service discovery interface in ZooKeeper, 
allowing clients to
+discover the currently active server instance without additional configuration.
+
+### Transaction Client
+A client makes a call to the active transaction server in order to start a new 
transaction. This
+returns a new transaction instance to the client, with a unique transaction ID 
(used to identify
+writes for the transaction), as well as a list of transaction IDs to exclude 
for reads (from
+in-progress or invalidated transactions). When performing writes, the client 
overrides the
+timestamp for all modified HBase cells with the transaction ID. When reading 
data from HBase, the
+client skips cells associated with any of the excluded transaction IDs. The 
read exclusions are
+applied through a server-side filter injected by the `TransactionProcessor` 
coprocessor.
+
+### TransactionProcessor Coprocessor
+The `TransactionProcessor` coprocessor is loaded on all HBase tables where 
transactional reads
+and writes are performed. When clients read data, it coordinates the 
server-side filtering
+performed based on the client transaction's snapshot. Data cells from any 
transactions that are
+currently in-progress or those that have failed and could not be rolled back 
("invalid"
+transactions) will be skipped on these reads. In addition, the 
`TransactionProcessor` cleans
+up any data versions that are no longer visible to any running transactions, 
either because the
+transaction that the cell is associated with failed or a write from a newer 
transaction was
+successfully committed to the same column.
+
+More details on how Tephra transactions work and the interactions between 
these components can be
+found in our [Transactions over 
HBase](http://www.slideshare.net/alexbaranau/transactions-over-hbase)
+presentation.
+
+## Is It Building?
+Status of CI build at Travis CI: [![Build 
Status](https://travis-ci.org/apache/incubator-tephra.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/apache/incubator-tephra)
+
+## Requirements
+### Java Runtime
+The latest [JDK or JRE version 1.7.xx or 
1.8.xx](http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp)
+for Linux, Windows, or Mac OS X must be installed in your environment; we 
recommend the Oracle JDK.
+
+To check the Java version installed, run the command:
+
+  $ java -version
+
+Tephra is tested with the Oracle JDKs; it may work with other JDKs such as
+[Open JDK](http://openjdk.java.net), but it has not been tested with them.
+
+Once you have installed the JDK, you'll need to set the `JAVA_HOME` 
environment variable.
+
+### Hadoop/HBase Environment
+Tephra requires a working HBase and HDFS environment in order to operate. 
Tephra supports these
+component versions:
+
+| Component     | Source        | Supported Versions                           
           |
+|---------------|---------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
+| __HDFS__      | Apache Hadoop | 2.0.2-alpha through 2.7.x                    
           |
+|               | CDH or HDP    | (CDH) 5.0.0 through 5.7.0 or (HDP) 2.0, 2.1, 
2.2 or 2.3 |
+|               | MapR          | 4.1 (with MapR-FS)                           
           |
+| __HBase__     | Apache        | 0.96.x, 0.98.x, 1.0.x, 1.1.x and 1.2.x       
           |
+|               | CDH or HDP    | (CDH) 5.0.0 through 5.7.0 or (HDP) 2.0, 2.1, 
2.2 or 2.3 |
+|               | MapR          | 4.1 (with Apache HBase)                      
           |
+| __ZooKeeper__ | Apache        | Version 3.4.3 through 3.4.5                  
           |
+|               | CDH or HDP    | (CDH) 5.0.0 through 5.7.0 or (HDP) 2.0, 2.1, 
2.2 or 2.3 |
+|               | MapR          | 4.1                                          
           |
+
+__Note:__ Components versions shown in this table are those that we have 
tested and are
+confident of their suitability and compatibility. Later versions of components 
may work,
+but have not necessarily have been either tested or confirmed compatible.
