Set up the project directory

For the complete documentation index see: llms.txt

All documentation pages available in markdown.

  1. Create a local working directory for the tutorial.

    Terminal
    mkdir aerospike-elastic-quickstart
    cd aerospike-elastic-quickstart
    printf 'features.conf\n' > .gitignore

  2. Copy your feature-key file into the directory and name it features.conf. Replace DOWNLOAD_DIRECTORY with the directory that holds your downloaded feature-key file. The feature-key file is sensitive, so .gitignore excludes it from source control and chmod 0600 limits access to your user account. This unlocks the change-notification path that carries Aerospike changes to the Elasticsearch index later in the tutorial.

    Terminal
    cp DOWNLOAD_DIRECTORY/features.conf ./features.conf
    chmod 0600 features.conf
    grep -E '^asdb-change-notification[[:space:]]+true$' features.conf

    The grep command must print a line ending in true before you continue.

    Your project directory now looks like this:

    • Directoryaerospike-elastic-quickstart/
      • .gitignore
      • features.conf Enterprise Edition feature-key file
