There are several things you can do to ensure that your KVStore is up and fully functional.
Run the ping command.
> java -jar KVHOME/lib/kvstore.jar ping -port 5000 -host node01
Pinging components of store mystore based upon topology sequence #107
mystore comprises 300 partitions on 3 Storage Nodes
Datacenter:Boston [dc1]
Storage Node [sn1] on node01:5000   Datacenter: Boston [dc1] Status:

       Rep Node [rg1-rn1] Status:RUNNING,MASTER at sequence number:31

          Run the simple "hello world" example. Go to the KVHOME directory and compile the example:
javac -cp lib/kvclient.jar:examples examples/hello/*.java
Then run the example (from any directory):
java -cp KVHOME/lib/kvclient.jar:KVHOME/examples \
     hello.HelloBigDataWorld \
     -host <hostname> -port <hostport> -store <kvstore name> 
            This should write the following line to stdout:
Hello Big Data World!
                    Look through the Javadoc. You can access it from the
                    documentation index page, which can be found at
                    KVHOME/doc/index.html.
                
If you run into installation problems or want to start over with a new store, then on every node in the system:
Stop the node using:
java -jar KVHOME/lib/kvstore.jar stop -root KVROOT
Remove the contents of the KVROOT directory:
rm -rf KVROOT
Start over with the steps described in Installation Configuration.
