Using Anna in Local Mode

Starting Anna processes using the rust CLi

You can start anna background processes by using the anna CLI start command

If you have the anna crate installed, just use

> anna start

If you have not installed it, then you can build and run the development version using

> cargo run -- start

By default, the server/conf/anna-config.yml config file is used, which specifies one routing thread and one storage thread. The routing thread (anna-route) is optional — clients using client-side routing connect directly to KVS nodes and do not need a routing server. The anna start command still launches anna-route by default for backward compatibility, but it is not required.

You are welcome to modify this file if you would like, but we generally do not recommend running more than one thread per process in local mode.

Stopping Anna

You can stop the running background processes by using the anna CLI stop command

If you have the anna crate installed, just use

> anna stop

If you have not installed it, then you can build and run the development version using

> cargo run -- stop
