Summary

  • Comprehensive rewrite of the hammerdb-wrapper README modeled after the autohpl-wrapper documentation structure
  • All content derived from hammerdb-wrapper source code — no invented functionality
  • Adds all general_setup options (--debug, --no_pkg_install, --no_system_packages, --no_pip_packages, --run_label, --test_tools_release, --verify_skip, --json_skip)

New sections added

  • Command-Line Options: complete listing of both hammerdb-specific and general_setup options
  • What the Script Does: 11-step workflow covering both hammerdb and run_hammerdb scripts
  • Dependencies: base packages plus per-database packages (MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MSSQL)
  • The HammerDB Benchmark: TPC-C parameters, supported database engines, TPM metric
  • Output Files: file listing and results schema table
  • Examples: 10 usage examples covering all three databases and common scenarios
  • How Database Sizing Works: buffer pool auto-sizing, warehouse sizing, storage layout diagram
  • Return Codes: error code reference
  • Notes: platform support (RHEL/x86_64 only), SELinux handling, storage requirements, remote deployments, performance tips, troubleshooting

Solves #64
Relates to JIRA: RPOPC-937

Instead of doing a rewrite when we push the install update pr (lot changed with how we do the install), lets wait until that pr is pushed.

selected device for existing filesystem signatures and stop before calling
lvm_create if any device is not unused; do not rely on lvm_create --wipefs as
