tHiveRow

Acts on the actual DB structure or on the data without handling data itself,
depending on the nature of the query and the database.

tHiveRow executes the HiveQL query stated in the specified database. The
row suffix means the component implements a flow in the Job design although it does not
provide output.

The SQLBuilder tool helps you write your HiveQL statements easily.

This component can also perform queries in a HBase database once
you activate its Store by HBase
function.

tHiveRow Standard properties

These properties are used to configure tHiveRow running in the Standard Job framework.

The Standard
tHiveRow component belongs to the Big Data and the Databases families.

The component in this framework is generally available.

Basic settings

Connection configuration:

  • When you use this component with Google Dataproc:

    Project identifier

    Enter the ID of your Google Cloud Platform project.

    If you are not certain about your project ID, check it in the Manage
    Resources page of your Google Cloud Platform services.

    Cluster identifier

    Enter the ID of your Dataproc cluster to be used.
    Region

    Enter the geographic zones in which the computing resources are used and your
    data is stored and processed. If you do not need to specify a particular
    region, leave the default value global.

    For further information about the available regions and the zones each region
    groups, see Regions and Zones.
    Google Storage staging bucket

    As a Talend Job expects its
    dependent jar files for execution, specify the Google Storage directory to
    which these jar files are transferred so that your Job can access these
    files at execution.

    The directory to be entered must end with a slash (/). If not existing, the
    directory is created on the fly but the bucket to be used must already
    exist.

    Database

    Fill this field with the name of the database.

    Provide Google Credentials in file

    Leave this check box clear, when you
    launch your Job from a given machine in which Google Cloud SDK has been
    installed and authorized to use your user account credentials to access
    Google Cloud Platform. In this situation, this machine is often your
    local machine.

    When you launch your Job from a remote
    machine, such as a Jobserver, select this check box and in the
    Path to Google Credentials file field that is
    displayed, enter the directory in which this JSON file is stored in the
    Jobserver machine.

    For further information about this Google
    Credentials file, see the administrator of your Google Cloud Platform or
    visit Google Cloud Platform Auth
    Guide    .

  • When you use this component with HDInsight:

    WebHCat configuration

    Enter the address and the authentication information of the WebHCat service
    of the Microsoft HD Insight cluster to be used. The Studio uses this service to
    submit the Job to the HD Insight cluster.

    In the Job result folder field, enter
    the location in which you want to store the execution result of a Job in the Azure
    Storage to be used.

    HDInsight
    configuration

    Enter the authentication information of the HD Insight cluster to be
    used.

    Windows Azure Storage
    configuration

    Enter the address and the authentication information of the Azure Storage
    account to be used.

    In the Container field, enter the name
    of the container to be used.

    In the Deployment Blob field, enter the
    location in which you want to store the current Job and its dependent libraries in
    this Azure Storage account.

    Database

    Fill this field with the name of the database.

  • When you use the other distributions:

    Connection mode

    Select a connection mode from the list. The
    options vary depending on the distribution you are
    using.

    Hive server

    Select the Hive server through which you want the Job using this component to
    execute queries on Hive.

    This Hive server list is available only
    when the Hadoop distribution to be used such as HortonWorks Data
    Platform V1.2.0 (Bimota)     supports HiveServer2. It allows you to select
    HiveServer2 (Hive 2), the server that better support
    concurrent connections of multiple clients than HiveServer (Hive
    1    ).

    For further information about HiveServer2, see https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Setting+Up+HiveServer2.

    Host

    Database server IP address.

    Port

    Listening port number of DB server.

    Database

    Fill this field with the name of the
    database.

    Note:

    This field is not available when you
    select Embedded
    from the Connection
    mode     list.

    Username and
    Password

    DB user authentication data.

    To enter the password, click the […] button next to the
    password field, and then in the pop-up dialog box enter the password between double quotes
    and click OK to save the settings.

    Use kerberos authentication

    If you are accessing a Hive Metastore running with Kerberos security,
    select this check box and then enter the relevant parameters in the fields that
    appear.

    • If this cluster is a MapR cluster of the version 4.0.1 or later, you can set the MapR
      ticket authentication configuration in addition or as an alternative by following the
      explanation in Connecting to a security-enabled MapR.

      Keep in mind that this configuration generates a new MapR security ticket for the username
      defined in the Job in each execution. If you need to reuse an existing ticket issued for the
      same username, leave both the Force MapR ticket
      authentication       check box and the Use Kerberos
      authentication       check box clear, and then MapR should be able to automatically
      find that ticket on the fly.

    The values of the following parameters can be found in the hive-site.xml file of the Hive system to be used.

    1. Hive principal uses the value
      of hive.metastore.kerberos.principal. This is
      the service principal of the Hive Metastore.

    2. HiveServer2 local user
      principal       uses the value of hive.server2.authentication.kerberos.principal.

    3. HiveServer2 local user keytab
      uses the value of hive.server2.authentication.kerberos.keytab

    4. Metastore URL uses the value of
      javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL. This is the
      JDBC connection string to the Hive Metastore.

    5. Driver class uses the value of
      javax.jdo.option.ConnectionDriverName. This
      is the name of the driver for the JDBC connection.

    6. Username uses the value of javax.jdo.option.ConnectionUserName. This, as
      well as the Password parameter, is the user credential for connecting to
      the Hive Metastore.

    7. Password uses the value of javax.jdo.option.ConnectionPassword.

    For the other parameters that are displayed, please consult the Hadoop
    configuration files they belong to. For example, the Namenode
    principal     can be found in the hdfs-site.xml file
    or the hdfs-default.xml file of the distribution you are
    using.

    This check box is available depending on the Hadoop distribution you are
    connecting to.
    Use a keytab to authenticate

    Select the Use a keytab to authenticate
    check box to log into a Kerberos-enabled system using a given keytab file. A keytab
    file contains pairs of Kerberos principals and encrypted keys. You need to enter the
    principal to be used in the Principal field and
    the access path to the keytab file itself in the Keytab field. This keytab file must be stored in the machine in
    which your Job actually runs, for example, on a Talend Jobserver.

    Note that the user that executes a keytab-enabled Job is not necessarily
    the one a principal designates but must have the right to read the keytab file being
    used. For example, the user name you are using to execute a Job is user1 and the principal to be used is guest; in this
    situation, ensure that user1 has the right to read the keytab
    file to be used.

    Use SSL encryption

    Select this check box to enable the SSL or TLS encrypted connection.

    Then in the fields that are displayed, provide the authentication
    information:

    • In the Trust store
      path       field, enter the path, or browse to the TrustStore
      file to be used. By default, the supported TrustStore types are JKS and PKCS 12.

    • To enter the password, click the […] button next to the
      password field, and then in the pop-up dialog box enter the password between double quotes
      and click OK to save the settings.

    This feature is available only to the HiveServer2 in the Standalone mode of the following distributions:

    • Hortonworks Data Platform 2.0 +

    • Cloudera CDH4 +

    • Pivotal HD 2.0 +

    • Amazon EMR 4.0.0 +

    Set Resource Manager

    Select this check box and in the displayed field, enter the location of the
    ResourceManager of your distribution. For example, tal-qa114.talend.lan:8050.

    Then you can continue to set the following parameters depending on the
    configuration of the Hadoop cluster to be used (if you leave the check box of a
    parameter clear, then at runtime, the configuration about this parameter in the
    Hadoop cluster to be used will be ignored ):

    1. Select the Set resourcemanager
      scheduler address       check box and enter the Scheduler address in
      the field that appears.

    2. Select the Set jobhistory
      address       check box and enter the location of the JobHistory
      server of the Hadoop cluster to be used. This allows the metrics information of
      the current Job to be stored in that JobHistory server.

    3. Select the Set staging
      directory       check box and enter this directory defined in your
      Hadoop cluster for temporary files created by running programs. Typically, this
      directory can be found under the yarn.app.mapreduce.am.staging-dir property in the configuration files
      such as yarn-site.xml or mapred-site.xml of your distribution.

    4. Allocate proper memory volumes to the Map and the Reduce
      computations and the ApplicationMaster
      of YARN by selecting the Set memory
      check box in the Advanced settings
      view.

    5. Select the Set Hadoop
      user       check box and enter the user name under which you
      want to execute the Job. Since a file or a directory in Hadoop has its
      specific owner with appropriate read or write rights, this field allows
      you to execute the Job directly under the user name that has the
      appropriate rights to access the file or directory to be processed.

    6. Select the Use datanode
      hostname       check box to allow the Job to access datanodes via
      their hostnames. This actually sets the dfs.client.use.datanode.hostname property to true. When connecting to a S3N filesystem, you must select this check
      box.

    For further information about these parameters, see the documentation or
    contact the administrator of the Hadoop cluster to be used.

    For further information about the Hadoop Map/Reduce framework, see the
    Map/Reduce tutorial in Apache’s Hadoop documentation on http://hadoop.apache.org.

    Set NameNode URI

    Select this check box and in the displayed field, enter the URI of the Hadoop
    NameNode, the master node of a Hadoop system. For example, assuming that you have
    chosen a machine called masternode as the NameNode, then the
    location is hdfs://masternode:portnumber. If you are using WebHDFS, the location should be
    webhdfs://masternode:portnumber; if this WebHDFS is secured
    with SSL, the scheme should be swebhdfs and you need to use
    a tLibraryLoad in the Job to load the library required by
    the secured WebHDFS.

    For further information about the Hadoop Map/Reduce framework, see the
    Map/Reduce tutorial in Apache’s Hadoop documentation on http://hadoop.apache.org.

The other properties:

Property type

Either Built-In or Repository.

Built-In: No property data stored centrally.

Repository: Select the repository file where the
properties are stored.

Use an existing connection

Select this check box and in the Component
List click the relevant connection component to reuse the connection
details you already defined.

Note:

When a Job contains the parent Job and the child Job, if you need to share an
existing connection between the two levels, for example, to share the connection created by
the parent Job with the child Job, you have to:

  1. In the parent level, register the database connection to be shared
    in the Basic settings view of the
    connection component which creates that very database connection.

  2. In the child level, use a dedicated connection component to read
    that registered database connection.

For an example about how to share a database connection across Job levels, see


Talend Studio
 User Guide.

Distribution

Select the cluster you are using from the drop-down list. The options in the
list vary depending on the component you are using. Among these options, the following
ones requires specific configuration:

  • If available in this Distribution drop-down list, the Microsoft HD Insight option allows you to
    use a Microsoft HD Insight cluster. For this purpose, you need to configure
    the connections to the WebHCat service, the HD Insight service and the
    Windows Azure Storage service of that cluster in the areas that are
    displayed. A demonstration video about how to configure this connection is
    available in the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3QTT6VsNoM.

  • If you select Amazon
    EMR    , you can find more details about how
    to configure an Amazon EMR cluster in Talend Help Center (https://help.talend.com)    .

  • The Custom option
    allows you to connect to a cluster different from any of the distributions
    given in this list, that is to say, to connect to a cluster not officially
    supported by
    Talend
    .

  1. Select Import from existing
    version     to import an officially supported distribution as base
    and then add other required jar files which the base distribution does not
    provide.

  2. Select Import from zip to
    import the configuration zip for the custom distribution to be used. This zip
    file should contain the libraries of the different Hadoop elements and the index
    file of these libraries.

    In
    Talend

    Exchange, members of
    Talend
     community have shared some ready-for-use configuration zip files
    which you can download from this Hadoop configuration
    list and directly use them in your connection accordingly. However, because of
    the ongoing evolution of the different Hadoop-related projects, you might not be
    able to find the configuration zip corresponding to your distribution from this
    list; then it is recommended to use the Import from
    existing version     option to take an existing distribution as base
    to add the jars required by your distribution.

    Note that custom versions are not officially supported by

    Talend
    .
    Talend
     and its community provide you with the opportunity to connect to
    custom versions from the Studio but cannot guarantee that the configuration of
    whichever version you choose will be easy, due to the wide range of different
    Hadoop distributions and versions that are available. As such, you should only
    attempt to set up such a connection if you have sufficient Hadoop experience to
    handle any issues on your own.

    Note:

    In this dialog box, the active check box must be kept
    selected so as to import the jar files pertinent to the connection to be
    created between the custom distribution and this component.

    For a step-by-step example about how to connect to a custom
    distribution and share this connection, see Connecting to a custom Hadoop distribution.

Hive version

Select the version of the Hadoop distribution you are using. The available
options vary depending on the component you are using. Along with the evolution of
Hadoop, please note the following changes:

  • If you use Hortonworks Data
    Platform V2.2    , the configuration files of your cluster might
    be using environment variables such as ${hdp.version}. If this is your situation, you need to set the mapreduce.application.framework.path property in
    the Hadoop properties table of this
    component with the path value explicitly pointing to the MapReduce framework
    archive of your cluster. For
    example:

  • If you use Hortonworks Data
    Platform V2.0.0    , the type of the operating system for
    running the distribution and a
    Talend
     Job must be the same, such as Windows or Linux. Otherwise, you
    have to use
    Talend
     Jobserver to execute the Job in the same type of operating
    system in which the Hortonworks Data Platform
    V2.0.0     distribution you are using is run.

Execution engine

Select this check box and from the drop-down list, select the framework you need to use to
run the Job.

This list is available only when you are using the Embedded mode for the Hive connection and the distribution you are working with
is among the following ones:

  • Hortonworks: V2.1 and V2.2.

  • MapR: V4.0.1.

  • Custom: this option allows you connect to a distribution supporting Tez but not
    officially supported by
    Talend
    .

Before using Tez, ensure that the Hadoop cluster you are using supports Tez. You will need to configure the access to the relevant Tez libraries via the Advanced settings view of this component.

For further information about Hive on Tez, see Apache’s related documentation in https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Hive+on+Tez. Some examples are presented there to show how Tez can be used to gain performance over MapReduce.

Schema and Edit
Schema

A schema is a row description. It defines the number of fields (columns) to
be processed and passed on to the next component. The schema is either Built-In or stored remotely in the Repository.

Click Edit schema to make changes to the schema.
If the current schema is of the Repository type, three
options are available:

  • View schema: choose this option to view the
    schema only.

  • Change to built-in property: choose this
    option to change the schema to Built-in for
    local changes.

  • Update repository connection: choose this
    option to change the schema stored in the repository and decide whether to propagate
    the changes to all the Jobs upon completion. If you just want to propagate the
    changes to the current Job, you can select No
    upon completion and choose this schema metadata again in the [Repository Content] window.

 

Built-in: The schema is created
and stored locally for this component only. Related topic: see


Talend Studio
 User
Guide.

 

Repository: The schema already
exists and is stored in the Repository, hence can be reused. Related
topic: see

Talend Studio
 User
Guide.

Table Name

Name of the table to be processed.

Query type

Either Built-in or Repository.

 

Built-in: Fill in manually the
query statement or build it graphically using SQLBuilder

 

Repository: Select the relevant
query stored in the Repository. The Query field gets accordingly
filled in.

Guess Query

Click the Guess Query button to
generate the query which corresponds to your table schema in the
Query field.

This query uses Parquet objects

When available, select this check box to indicate that the table to be handled uses the
Parquet format and thus make the component to call the required jar file.

Note that when the file format to be used is PARQUET, you
might be prompted to find the specific Parquet jar file and install it into the Studio.

  • When the connection mode to Hive is Embedded,
    the Job is run in your local machine and calls this jar installed in the
    Studio.

  • When the connection mode to Hive is Standalone, the Job is run in the server hosting Hive and this
    jar file is sent to the HDFS system of the cluster you are connecting to.
    Therefore, ensure that you have properly defined the NameNode URI in the
    corresponding field of the Basic settings
    view.

This jar file can be downloaded from Apache’s site. You can find more details about how to install external modules in Talend Help Center (https://help.talend.com).

Query

Enter your DB query paying particularly attention to properly
sequence the fields in order to match the schema definition.

For further information about the Hive query language, see https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual.

Note:

Compressed data in the form of Gzip or Bzip2 can be processed through the query
statements. For details, see https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/CompressedStorage.

Hadoop provides different compression formats that help reduce the space needed for
storing files and speed up data transfer. When reading a compressed file, the Studio
needs to uncompress it before being able to feed it to the input flow.

Die on error

This check box is selected by default. Clear the check box to skip
the row on error and complete the process for error-free rows. If
needed, you can retrieve the rows on error via a Row > Rejects link.

Advanced settings

Tez lib

Select how the Tez libraries are accessed:

  • Auto install: at runtime, the Job uploads and deploys the Tez
    libraries provided by the Studio into the directory you specified in the Install folder in HDFS field, for example, /tmp/usr/tez.

    If you have set the tez.lib.uris property in the properties
    table, this directory overrides the value of that property at runtime. But the other
    properties set in the properties table are still effective.

  • Use exist: the Job accesses the Tez libraries already
    deployed in the Hadoop cluster to be used. You need to enter the path pointing to
    those libraries in the Lib path (folder or file)
    field.

  • Lib jar: this table appears when you have selected Auto install from the Tez
    lib     list and the distribution you are using is Custom. In this table, you need to add the Tez libraries to be
    uploaded.

Temporary path

If you do not want to set the Jobtracker and the NameNode when you execute the
query select * from your_table_name, you need to set this
temporary path. For example, /C:/select_all in Windows.

Propagate QUERY’s recordset

Select this check box to insert the result of the query into a
COLUMN of the current flow. Select this column from the use column list.

Note:

This option allows the component to have a different schema
from that of the preceding component. Moreover, the column that
holds the QUERY’s recordset should be set to the type of
Object and this component
is usually followed by tParseRecordSet.

Hadoop properties


Talend Studio
 uses a default configuration for its engine to perform
operations in a Hadoop distribution. If you need to use a custom configuration in a specific
situation, complete this table with the property or properties to be customized. Then at
runtime, the customized property or properties will override those default ones.

  • Note that if you are using the centrally stored metadata from the Repository, this table automatically inherits the
    properties defined in that metadata and becomes uneditable unless you change the
    Property type from Repository to Built-in.

For further information about the properties required by Hadoop and its related systems such
as HDFS and Hive, see the documentation of the Hadoop distribution you
are using or see Apache’s Hadoop documentation on http://hadoop.apache.org/docs and then select the version of the documentation you want. For demonstration purposes, the links to some properties are listed below:

Hive properties

Talend Studio uses a default configuration for its engine to perform
operations in a Hive database. If you need to use a custom configuration in a
specific situation, complete this table with the property or properties to be
customized. Then at runtime, the customized property or properties will override
those default ones. For further information for Hive dedicated properties, see https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/AdminManual+Configuration.

  • If you need to use Tez to run your Hive Job, add
    hive.execution.engine to the
    Properties column and Tez to the
    Value column, enclosing both of these strings in
    double quotation marks.

  • Note that if you are using the centrally stored metadata
    from the Repository, this
    table automatically inherits the properties defined in that metadata and
    becomes uneditable unless you change the Property type from Repository to Built-in.

Mapred job map memory mb and
Mapred job reduce memory
mb

If the Hadoop distribution to be used is Hortonworks Data Platform V1.2 or Hortonworks
Data Platform V1.3, you need to set proper memory allocations for the map and reduce
computations to be performed by the Hadoop system.

In that situation, you need to enter the values you need in the Mapred
job map memory mb and the Mapred job reduce memory
mb fields, respectively. By default, the values are both 1000 which are normally appropriate for running the
computations.

Path separator in server

Leave the default value of the Path separator in
server as it is, unless you have changed the separator used by your
Hadoop distribution’s host machine for its PATH variable or in other words, that
separator is not a colon (:). In that situation, you must change this value to the
one you are using in that host.

tStatCatcher Statistics

Select this check box to collect log data at the component
level.

Global Variables

Global Variables

QUERY: the query statement being processed. This is a Flow
variable and it returns a string.

ERROR_MESSAGE: the error message generated by the
component when an error occurs. This is an After variable and it returns a string. This
variable functions only if the Die on error check box is
cleared, if the component has this check box.

A Flow variable functions during the execution of a component while an After variable
functions after the execution of the component.

To fill up a field or expression with a variable, press Ctrl +
Space to access the variable list and choose the variable to use from it.

For further information about variables, see
Talend Studio

User Guide.

Usage

Usage rule

This component offers the benefit of flexible DB queries and
covers all possible Hive QL queries.

If the Studio used to connect to a Hive database is operated on Windows, you
must manually create a folder called tmp in the root of the disk
where this Studio is installed.

HBase Configuration

Note:

Available only when the Use an existing
connection check box is clear

Store by HBase

 

Zookeeper quorum

 

Zookeeper client port

 

Define the jars to register for
HBase

  Register jar for HBase

Dynamic settings

Click the [+] button to add a
row in the table and fill the Code field
with a context variable to choose your database connection dynamically from
multiple connections planned in your Job. This feature is useful when you
need to access database tables having the same data structure but in
different databases, especially when you are working in an environment where
you cannot change your Job settings, for example, when your Job has to be
deployed and executed independent of
Talend Studio
.

The Dynamic settings table is
available only when the Use an existing
connection check box is selected in the Basic settings view. Once a dynamic parameter is
defined, the Component List box in the
Basic settings view becomes unusable.

For examples on using dynamic parameters, see Scenario: Reading data from databases through context-based dynamic connections and Scenario: Reading data from different MySQL databases using dynamically loaded connection parameters. For more information on Dynamic
settings and context variables, see
Talend Studio User Guide.

Prerequisites

The Hadoop distribution must be properly installed, so as to guarantee the interaction
with
Talend Studio
. The following list presents MapR related information for
example.

  • Ensure that you have installed the MapR client in the machine where the Studio is,
    and added the MapR client library to the PATH variable of that machine. According
    to MapR’s documentation, the library or libraries of a MapR client corresponding to
    each OS version can be found under MAPR_INSTALL
    hadoophadoop-VERSIONlib
    ative    . For example, the library for
    Windows is lib
    ativeMapRClient.dll     in the MapR
    client jar file. For further information, see the following link from MapR: http://www.mapr.com/blog/basic-notes-on-configuring-eclipse-as-a-hadoop-development-environment-for-mapr.

    Without adding the specified library or libraries, you may encounter the following
    error: no MapRClient in java.library.path.

  • Set the -Djava.library.path argument, for example, in the Job Run VM arguments area
    of the Run/Debug view in the [Preferences] dialog box in the Window menu. This argument provides to the Studio the path to the
    native library of that MapR client. This allows the subscription-based users to make
    full use of the Data viewer to view locally in the
    Studio the data stored in MapR.

For further information about how to install a Hadoop distribution, see the manuals
corresponding to the Hadoop distribution you are using.

Connecting to a security-enabled MapR

When designing a Job, set up the authentication configuration in the component you are using depending on how your MapR cluster is secured.

MapR supports the two following methods of authenticating a user and
generating a MapR security ticket for this user: a username/password pair and
Kerberos.

For further information about the MapR security mechanism, see MapR security
architecture.

For a scenario about how to secure a MapR cluster, see Getting
started with MapR security.

The different security scenarios you may face with your MapR cluster:

  • When your MapR cluster is secured with Kerberos only, you only need
    to set up the typical Hadoop Kerberos configuration for your Job in the
    Studio.

  • When your MapR cluster is secured with both the Kerberos mechanism
    and the MapR ticket security mechanism, you need to accordingly set up the
    configuration for both of them in your Job in the Studio.

    For details about how to configure the MapR ticket security
    mechanism in the Studio, see Setting up the MapR ticket authentication.

  • When your MapR cluster is secured with the MapR ticket security
    mechanism only, proceed as explained in Setting up the MapR ticket authentication to
    set up the MapR authentication configuration for your Job in the Studio.

You can also find an example of how to configure Kerberos
authentication for a Talend Job in Talend Help Center (https://help.talend.com).

Although this example uses Cloudera for demonstration, the operations it describes are
generic and thus applicable to MapR as well.

Setting up the MapR ticket authentication

  • The MapR distribution you are using is from version 4.0.1
    onwards and you have selected it as the cluster to connect to in the
    component to be configured.

  • The MapR cluster has been properly installed and is
    running.

  • Ensure that you have installed the MapR client in the machine where the Studio is,
    and added the MapR client library to the PATH variable of that machine. According
    to MapR’s documentation, the library or libraries of a MapR client corresponding to
    each OS version can be found under MAPR_INSTALL
    hadoophadoop-VERSIONlib
    ative    . For example, the library for
    Windows is lib
    ativeMapRClient.dll     in the MapR
    client jar file. For further information, see the following link from MapR: http://www.mapr.com/blog/basic-notes-on-configuring-eclipse-as-a-hadoop-development-environment-for-mapr.

    Without adding the specified library or libraries, you may encounter the following
    error: no MapRClient in java.library.path.

  • This section explains only the authentication parameters to be
    used to connect to MapR. You still need to define the other parameters
    required by your Job.

    For further information, see the documentation about each
    component you are using.

In a Standard Job, you need to set up this configuration in the Basic settings tab of a Hadoop-related component to be used by
your Job.

If you are designing a MapReduce Job, you need to do this
configuration in the Hadoop configuration tab of the
Job.

If you are designing a Spark Job, you need
to do this configuration in the Spark configuration tab of the
Job.

In the tab, you need to proceed as follows:

  1. Select the Force MapR ticket authentication check box to
    display the related parameters to be defined.
  2. In the Username field, enter the username to be authenticated
    and in the Password field, specify the password
    used by this user.

    To enter the password, click the […] button next to the
    password field, and then in the pop-up dialog box enter the password between double quotes
    and click OK to save the settings.

    A MapR security ticket is generated for this user by MapR and stored in the machine where the
    Job you are configuring is executed.
  3. If the Group field is available in this tab, you need to
    enter the name of the group to which the user to be authenticated
    belongs.
  4. In the Cluster name field, enter the name of the MapR cluster
    you want to use this username to connect to.

    This cluster name can be found in the mapr-clusters.conf file located in /opt/mapr/conf of the cluster.
  5. In the Ticket duration field, enter the length of time (in
    seconds) during which the ticket is valid.

Using a custom MapR security configuration (optional)

If the default security configuration of your MapR cluster has been changed, you
need to configure the Job to be executed to take this custom security configuration
into account.

MapR specifies its security configuration in the mapr.login.conf file located in /opt/mapr/conf of the cluster. For further information about this
configuration file and the Java service it uses behind, see mapr.login.conf
and JAAS.

To configure your Job, you need to define the related
parameters in the Basic settings tab and the
Advanced settings tab of the Component view of the component you want your Job to use
to connect to MapR.

If you are using a MapReduce Job, you need to define the related parameters in the Hadoop configuration
tab of the Job.

If you are designing a Spark
Job, you need to do the related configuration in the Spark
configuration tab of the Job.

Proceed as follows to do the configuration:

  1. Verify what has been changed about this mapr.login.conf
    file.

    You should be able to obtain the related information from the administrator or the developer of your MapR cluster.
  2. If the location of the MapR configuration files has been changed to somewhere else in the
    cluster, that is to say, the MapR Home directory has been changed, select
    the Set the MapR Home directory check box
    and enter the new Home directory. Otherwise, leave this check box clear and
    the default Home directory is used.
  3. If the login module to be used in the mapr.login.conf file
    has been changed, select the Specify the Hadoop
    login configuration     check box and enter the module to be called
    from the mapr.login.conf file. Otherwise,
    leave this check box clear and the default login module is used.

    For example, enter kerberos to call the hadoop_kerberos module or hybrid to call the hadoop_hybrid module.

You need to keep in mind the parameters required by Hadoop, such as NameNode and
Jobtracker, when configuring this component since the component needs to connect to a
Hadoop distribution.
