Sample standalone client app based on examples about logdevice

[calebmarchent]

Hi @gcameo many thanks for the feedback. We will be looking at simplifying the "Getting Started" process incrementally as we move forward.

All dependencies are either listed in the .deps files, e.g. ubuntu.deps or are compiled as External Projects within the git project. (see CMake/build-.)

Hi @gcameo

there are a few standalone examples for reads and writes under /logdevice/examples.

They show how to use the client API, which is discussed here: https://logdevice.io/docs/API_Introduction.html

(from the bottom of that page)
Running the samples
To run the samples, follow the instructions in Running a local cluster to start a local cluster. Next, create a log range using ldshell logs create. Run the sample with --help to make it display a list of its options.

If you have more questions, please ask in the LogDevice Users group on Facebook.
