+PerconaFT
+======
+
+PerconaFT is a high-performance, transactional key-value store, used in the
+TokuDB storage engine for Percona Server and MySQL, and in TokuMX, the
+high-performance MongoDB distribution.
+
+PerconaFT is provided as a shared library with an interface similar to
+Berkeley DB.
+
+To build the full MySQL product, see the instructions for
+[Percona/percona-server][percona-server]. This document covers PerconaFT only.
+
+[percona-server]: https://github.com/Percona/percona-server
+
+
+Building
+--------
+
+PerconaFT is built using CMake >= 2.8.9. Out-of-source builds are
+recommended. You need a C++11 compiler, though only some versions
+of GCC >= 4.7 and Clang are tested. You also need zlib development
+packages (`yum install zlib-devel` or `apt-get install zlib1g-dev`).
+
+You will also need the source code for jemalloc, checked out in
+`third_party/`.
+
+```sh
+git clone git://github.com/Percona/PerconaFT.git percona-ft
+cd percona-ft
+git clone git://github.com/Percona/jemalloc.git third_party/jemalloc
+mkdir build
+cd build
+CC=gcc47 CXX=g++47 cmake \
+ -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug \
+ -D BUILD_TESTING=OFF \
+ -D USE_VALGRIND=OFF \
+ -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../prefix/ \
+ ..
+cmake --build . --target install
+```
+
+This will build `libft.so` and `libtokuportability.so` and install it,
+some header files, and some examples to `percona-ft/prefix/`. It will also
+build jemalloc and install it alongside these libraries, you should link
+to that if you are planning to run benchmarks or in production.
+
+### Platforms
+
+PerconaFT is supported on 64-bit Centos, Debian, and Ubuntu and should work
+on other 64-bit linux distributions, and may work on OSX 10.8 and FreeBSD.
+PerconaFT is not supported on 32-bit systems.
+
+[Transparent hugepages][transparent-hugepages] is a feature in newer linux
+kernel versions that causes problems for the memory usage tracking
+calculations in PerconaFT and can lead to memory overcommit. If you have
+this feature enabled, PerconaFT will not start, and you should turn it off.
+If you want to run with transparent hugepages on, you can set an
+environment variable `TOKU_HUGE_PAGES_OK=1`, but only do this for testing,
+and only with a small cache size.

+
+
+Testing
+-------
+
+PerconaFT uses CTest for testing. The CDash testing dashboard is not
+currently public, but you can run the tests without submitting them.
+
+There are some large data files not stored in the git repository, that
+will be made available soon. For now, the tests that use these files will
+not run.
+
+In the build directory from above:
+
+```sh
+cmake -D BUILD_TESTING=ON ..
+ctest -D ExperimentalStart \
+ -D ExperimentalConfigure \
+ -D ExperimentalBuild \
+ -D ExperimentalTest
+```
+
