Before running first setup the following settings for your test cluster:
- keystone host and project_id in data_bags/mon_agent/mon_agent.json
- keystone host(serverVip) in data_bags/mon_api/mon_credentials.json
- wsrep address in the Mon-Node role
- servers in data_bags/zookeeper/mon.json
- servers in data_bags/kafka/mon.json
- vertica data bags in data_bags/vertica
  - ssh_key.json with two fields, public/private corresponding to public/private ssh keys
  - nodes data bag
From the utils directory (or specifying that fabfile) start the install script
- fab cluster.setup -H host1,host2,host3
create kafka topics - kafka::create_topics recipe can be run on 1 machine
Setup the Vertica database schema - the vertica::create_db recipe and scripts can be used for reference but won't work for a cluster
- The problems with the script are:
  - The create_db command needs all ips specified for the -s arg, they are comma seperated
  - The symbolic linking of ssl cert/key needs to be done on each node
  - The restart policy should be set to ksafe rather than always
Setup the mysql database schema - the mini-mon::mysql_schema tecipe can be run on 1 machine
Restart any services which require vertica, mysql or kafka

Optional Configuration

Add in the Vertica Console to one of the machines. This can be done with vertica::console recipe

Known Issues

If a client connects to kafka before the topics are made in some situations the topics are automatically created and can end up as the wrong size or without replicas.
