  The RDI client Java distribution ships command-line utilities for posting event
  data to the Metamarkets RDI API. These are bundled scripts in the distribution
  tar (bin/ directory), configured via conf/rdi.properties (and conf/kafka.properties
  for the Kafka consumer). The binary/library itself is catalogued in
  packages/metamarkets-packages.yml; this file records the command surface.
