Starter example

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"os"
	"sync"
	"time"
	
	"github.com/kineticadb/gpudb-api-go/example"
	"github.com/kineticadb/gpudb-api-go/kinetica"
	"go.uber.org/multierr"
	"go.uber.org/zap"
)

func main() {
	endpoint := os.Args[1]
	username := os.Args[2]
	password := os.Args[3]
	
	ctx := context.TODO()
	options := kinetica.KineticaOptions{Username: username, Password: password}
	dbInst := kinetica.NewWithOptions(ctx, endpoint, &options)
}

Logging

The logging is done using Uber zap package and lumberjack for rotating files based on size. Time based rotation is not supported yet. The configuration for lumberjack can be found here - https://pkg.go.dev/gopkg.in/natefinch/lumberjack.v2
