<h3 class="h4"> Instantiating BookKeeper.</h3>
<p>
    The first step to use BookKeeper is to instantiate a BookKeeper object:
    </p>
<p>
    
<span class="codefrag computeroutput">
    org.apache.bookkeeper.BookKeeper
    </span>
    
</p>
<p>
    There are three BookKeeper constructors:
    </p>
<p>
    
<span class="codefrag computeroutput">
	public BookKeeper(String servers) 
    	throws KeeperException, IOException    
    </span>
	
</p>
<p>
    where:
    </p>
<ul>
    	
<li>
    	
<p> 
        
<span class="codefrag computeroutput">servers</span> is a comma-separated list of ZooKeeper servers.
    	</p>
    	
</li>
    
</ul>
<p>
    
<span class="codefrag computeroutput">
	public BookKeeper(ZooKeeper zk) 
    	throws InterruptedException, KeeperException    
    </span>
	
</p>
<p>
    where:
    </p>
<ul>
    	
<li>
    	
<p> 
        
<span class="codefrag computeroutput">zk</span> is a ZooKeeper object. This constructor is useful when
        the application also using ZooKeeper and wants to have a single instance of ZooKeeper.  
    	</p>
    	
</li>
    
</ul>
<p>
    
<span class="codefrag computeroutput">
	public BookKeeper(ZooKeeper zk, ClientSocketChannelFactory channelFactory) 
    	throws InterruptedException, KeeperException    
    </span>
	
</p>
<p>
    where:
    </p>
<ul>
    	
<li>
    	
<p> 
        
<span class="codefrag computeroutput">zk</span> is a ZooKeeper object. This constructor is useful when
        the application also using ZooKeeper and wants to have a single instance of ZooKeeper.  
    	</p>
    	
</li>
    	
    	
<li>
    	
<p> 
        
<span class="codefrag computeroutput">channelFactory</span> is a netty channel object 
        (<span class="codefrag computeroutput">org.jboss.netty.channel.socket</span>).  
    	</p>
    	
</li>
    
</ul>
<a name="bk_createLedger"></a>
<h3 class="h4"> Creating a ledger. </h3>
<p> Before writing entries to BookKeeper, it is necessary to create a ledger. 
    With the current BookKeeper API, it is possible to create a ledger both synchronously
    or asynchronously. The following methods belong
    to <span class="codefrag computeroutput">org.apache.bookkeeper.client.BookKeeper</span>.
    </p>
<p>
   	
<strong>Synchronous call:</strong>
   	
</p>
<p>
    
<span class="codefrag computeroutput">
    public LedgerHandle createLedger(int ensSize, int qSize, DigestType type,  byte passwd[])
        throws KeeperException, InterruptedException, 
        IOException, BKException
    </span>
	
</p>
<p>
    where:
    </p>
<ul>
    	
<li>
    	
<p> 
    	
<span class="codefrag computeroutput">ensSize</span> is the number of bookies (ensemble size);
    	</p>
    	
</li>
    
    	
<li> 
    	
<p>
    	
<span class="codefrag computeroutput">qSize</span> is the write quorum size;
    	</p>
    	
</li>
    
    	
<li> 
    	
<p>
    	
<span class="codefrag computeroutput">type</span> is the type of digest used with entries: either MAC or CRC32.  
    	</p>
    	
</li>
    	
    	
<li>
    	
<p>
    	
<span class="codefrag computeroutput">passwd</span> is a password that authorizes the client to write to the
    	ledger being created.
    	</p>
    	
</li>
    
</ul>
<p>
    All further operations on a ledger are invoked through the <span class="codefrag computeroutput">LedgerHandle</span>
    object returned.
    </p>
<p>
