ycsb Python wrapper vs. ycsb.sh
There are two scripts (well, three if you count the .bat) version: ycsb (Python) and ycsb.sh.
The "main" readme refers to the .sh version but some/most (I have only checked a few) of the module readmes refer to the Python script.
Can someone enlighten us as to the history? Both seem to be maintained a bit. This issue https://github.com/brianfrankcooper/YCSB/issues/1030 refers to the Python one as "old" but it has not been removed.
@busbey, can you maybe shed some light here?
Thank you very much!
the python launcher should be considered deprecated. the OS native scripts should be preferred.
we'll eventually remove the python launcher but I don't want to do that while we still have documentation referring to it.
an open question is wether we still need the windows specific bat file given how mature WSL is now. (or that we really ought to be publishing container images)
We have wrapped ycsb in a (really simple) container for our purposes. Happy to contribute this, but I'd almost feel bad about the PR because its so simple :)
Thank you very much for the quick response. The question has been answered and I'd be happy to close the issue but we can also leave it open as a reminder to maybe get rid of the old python wrapper at some point then?
