First, download the latest release of Cockroach Database from http://cockroachlabs.com/ for your platform.  I rename the
executable to 'crdb' to keep things crisp.  Then start the server on your developer host, I run it in /tmp just because.

$ cd /tmp
$ crdb start --background --http-port=9090
CockroachDB node starting at 2017-03-16 15:04:25.280278938 -0400 EDT

First:
$ gradle gradlew

To change jvm arguments:
$ ./gradlew bootRun -PjvmArgs="-Dwhatever1=value1 -Dwhatever2=value2"

To rebuild the lock file:
$ ./gradlew clean generateLock saveLock

Otherwise just:
$ ./gradlew bootRun

Basic tests are in a file 'test-api', first install HTTPie and JasonQuery(jq).
$ brew install httpie jq

Then run the tests:
$ ./test-api

Of course you can exercise the API with CuRL:

You can update the log levels at runtime.

$ curl http://localhost:8443/loggers

Then, to change the ROOT configured level to TRACE you'd simply:

$ curl -i -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"configuredLevel": "TRACE"}' http://localhost:8080/loggers/ROOT

or:

$ HTTP POST localhost:8080/loggers/ROOT configuredLevel:TRACE


Also, you can get the set of REST endpoints mapped (not including model objects) via:

curl http://localhost:8443/mappings | jq
