pilosa

Pilosa is a bitmap index database.

Getting Started

To download the source, run go get:

$ go get github.com/umbel/pilosa

You can update the dependencies to specific versions using depman:

$ go get github.com/vube/depman

And then run depman from the project directory:

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/umbel/pilosa
$ depman

Now you can install the pilosa binary:

$ go install github.com/umbel/pilosa/...

Pilosa requires that etcd is running locally for coordinating the cluster:

# In another terminal window
$ etcd

Now run pilosa with the default configuration:

PILOSA_CONFIG=default.yaml pilosa

This setup assumes that cassandra and etcd are running locally and that cassandra keyspace pilosa has been setup as describe in the file index/storage_cass.go.

If you don't want backend storage you can comment out storage_backend in the yaml file and it will just operate out of memory.
