Currently, README.md suggests using the go get command to download and
install scylla-bench. However, this method results in a scylla-bench
binary being built with the upstream version of the gocql driver, not
the ScyllaDB's fork - and the latter is required for the shard-awareness
to work.
Considering that scylla-bench was created for benchmarking Scylla, it
makes more sense to build it with our fork of gocql. This commit
improves the README.md: a correct way to build scylla-bench is now
included with an explanation why simply using go get does not work.
