Over the period of time, the cluster can run out of space if left without monitoring.

This tool is targeted towards cleaning of AVRO automatically so that the oldest data can be purged when cluster reaches a certain level of disk usage.

This document is for RSA Security Analytics's SAW Data Roll-Over Client (referred as RollOverClient henceforth). This collection is provided as it is with proper testing in the lab by Engineering/QE. This document explains the configuration and steps to install the tool into the cluster.

Attached are the steps to run the tool.
