You can configure Presto Pulsar connector and deploy a cluster with the following instruction.

## Configure Presto Pulsar Connector
You can configure Presto Pulsar Connector in the `${project.root}/conf/presto/catalog/pulsar.properties` properties file. The configuration for the connector and the default values are as follows.

```properties
# name of the connector to be displayed in the catalog
connector.name=pulsar

# the url of Pulsar broker service
pulsar.broker-service-url=http://localhost:8080

# URI of Zookeeper cluster
pulsar.zookeeper-uri=localhost:2181

# minimum number of entries to read at a single time
pulsar.entry-read-batch-size=100

# default number of splits to use per query
pulsar.target-num-splits=4
```

You can connect Presto to a Pulsar cluster with multiple hosts. To configure multiple hosts for brokers, add multiple URLs to `pulsar.broker-service-url`. To configure multiple hosts for ZooKeeper, add multiple URIs to `pulsar.zookeeper-uri`. The following is an example.
  
```
pulsar.broker-service-url=http://localhost:8080,localhost:8081,localhost:8082
pulsar.zookeeper-uri=localhost1,localhost2:2181
```

## Query data from existing Presto clusters

If you already have a Presto cluster, you can copy the Presto Pulsar connector plugin to your existing cluster. Download the archived plugin package with the following command.

```bash
$ wget pulsar:binary_release_url
```

## Deploy a new cluster

Since Pulsar SQL is powered by [Presto](https://prestodb.io), the configuration for deployment is the same for the Pulsar SQL worker. 

> Note  
> For how to set up a standalone single node environment, refer to [Query data](sql-getting-started.md). 

You can use the same CLI args as the Presto launcher.

```bash
$ ./bin/pulsar sql-worker --help
Usage: launcher [options] command

Commands: run, start, stop, restart, kill, status

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v, --verbose         Run verbosely
  --etc-dir=DIR         Defaults to INSTALL_PATH/etc
  --launcher-config=FILE
                        Defaults to INSTALL_PATH/bin/launcher.properties
  --node-config=FILE    Defaults to ETC_DIR/node.properties
  --jvm-config=FILE     Defaults to ETC_DIR/jvm.config
  --config=FILE         Defaults to ETC_DIR/config.properties
  --log-levels-file=FILE
                        Defaults to ETC_DIR/log.properties
  --data-dir=DIR        Defaults to INSTALL_PATH
  --pid-file=FILE       Defaults to DATA_DIR/var/run/launcher.pid
  --launcher-log-file=FILE
                        Defaults to DATA_DIR/var/log/launcher.log (only in
                        daemon mode)
  --server-log-file=FILE
                        Defaults to DATA_DIR/var/log/server.log (only in
                        daemon mode)
  -D NAME=VALUE         Set a Java system property

```

The default configuration for the cluster is located in `${project.root}/conf/presto`. You can customize your deployment by modifying the default configuration.

You can set the worker to read from a different configuration directory, or set a different directory to write data. 

```bash
$ ./bin/pulsar sql-worker run --etc-dir /tmp/incubator-pulsar/conf/presto --data-dir /tmp/presto-1
```

You can start the worker as daemon process.

```bash
$ ./bin sql-worker start
```

### Deploy a cluster on multiple nodes 

You can deploy a Pulsar SQL cluster or Presto cluster on multiple nodes. The following example shows how to deploy a cluster on three-node cluster. 

1. Copy the Pulsar binary distribution to three nodes.

The first node runs as Presto coordinator. The minimal configuration requirement in the `${project.root}/conf/presto/config.properties` file is as follows. 

```properties
coordinator=true
node-scheduler.include-coordinator=true
http-server.http.port=8080
query.max-memory=50GB
query.max-memory-per-node=1GB
discovery-server.enabled=true
discovery.uri=<coordinator-url>
```

The other two nodes serve as worker nodes, you can use the following configuration for worker nodes. 

```properties
coordinator=false
http-server.http.port=8080
query.max-memory=50GB
query.max-memory-per-node=1GB
discovery.uri=<coordinator-url>
```

2. Modify `pulsar.broker-service-url` and  `pulsar.zookeeper-uri` configuration in the `${project.root}/conf/presto/catalog/pulsar.properties` file accordingly for the three nodes.

3. Start the coordinator node.

```
$ ./bin/pulsar sql-worker run
```

4. Start worker nodes.

```
$ ./bin/pulsar sql-worker run
```

5. Start the SQL CLI and check the status of your cluster.

```bash
$ ./bin/pulsar sql --server <coordinate_url>
```

6. Check the status of your nodes.

```bash
presto> SELECT * FROM system.runtime.nodes;
 node_id |        http_uri         | node_version | coordinator | state  
---------+-------------------------+--------------+-------------+--------
 1       | http://192.168.2.1:8081 | testversion  | true        | active 
 3       | http://192.168.2.2:8081 | testversion  | false       | active 
 2       | http://192.168.2.3:8081 | testversion  | false       | active 
```
