Creating Data Connections

You can create data connections by configuring data sources. Based on the data connections of the Management Center, DataArts Studio performs data development, governance, services, and operations on the data lake base.

Constraints

RDS data connections depend on OBS. If OBS is unavailable in the same region as DataArts Studio, RDS data connections are not supported.
If changes occur in the connected data lake (for example, the MRS cluster capacity is expanded), you need to edit and save the connection.

Prerequisites

You have created a data lake to connect, for example, a database or cloud service supported by DataArts Studio.
- Before creating a DWS data connection, ensure that you have created a cluster in DWS and have the permissions required to view Key Management Service (KMS) keys.
- Before creating an MRS HBase, MRS Hive, MRS Kafka, MRS Presto, or MRS Spark connection, ensure that you have created an MRS cluster and selected required components.
- Before creating an RDS data connection, ensure that you have created an RDS DB instance. Currently, DataArts Studio supports only MySQL and PostgreSQL databases in RDS.
The data lake to connect communicates with the DataArts Studio instance properly.
- If the data lake is an on-premises database, a public network or a dedicated connection is required. Ensure that the host where the data source is located can access the public network and the port has been enabled in the firewall rule.
- If the data lake is a cloud service (such as DWS and MRS), the following requirements must be met for network interconnection:
  - If the CDM cluster in the DataArts Studio instance and the cloud service are in different regions, a public network or a dedicated connection is required.
  - If the CDM cluster in the DataArts Studio instance and the cloud service are in the same region, VPC, subnet, and security group, they can communicate with each other by default. If they are in the same VPC but in different subnets or security groups, you must configure routing rules and security group rules. For details about how to configure routing rules, see Adding Routes in Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Usage Guide. For details about how to configure security group rules, see Security Group > Adding a Security Group Rule in Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Usage Guide.
  - The cloud service instance and the DataArts Studio workspace belong to the same enterprise project. If they do not, you can modify the enterprise project of the workspace.

Data Connection Parameter Description

**Table 2** MRS Hive data connection
Parameter	Mandatory	Description
Data Connection Name	Yes	The name of the data connection to create. Data connection names can contain 1 to 50 characters. They can include only letters, numbers, underscores (_), and hyphens (-).
Tag	No	The attribute of the data connection to create. Tags make management easier. NOTE: The name of the tag. Only letters, numbers, and underscores (_) are allowed. Tag names cannot start with underscores (_). Enter up to 100 characters.
Cluster Name	Yes	The name of the MRS Hive cluster. Select an MRS cluster that Hive belongs to. If the MRS cluster is not displayed in the drop-down list, check whether the network connection between the MRS cluster and the DataArts Studio instance is normal. Ensure that the MRS cluster and the DataArts Studio instance can communicate with each other. The following requirements must be met for network interconnection: If the CDM cluster in the DataArts Studio instance and the MRS cluster are in different regions, a public network or a dedicated connection is required. If the Internet is used for communication, ensure that an EIP has been bound to the CDM cluster, and the MRS cluster can access the Internet and the port has been enabled in the firewall rule. If the CDM cluster in the DataArts Studio instance and the MRS cluster are in the same region, VPC, subnet, and security group, they can communicate with each other by default. If they are in the same VPC but in different subnets or security groups, you must configure routing rules and security group rules. For details about how to configure routing rules, see Custom Route in Region Type I > Adding Routes in Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Usage Guide. For details about how to configure security group rules, see Security Group > Adding a Security Group Rule in Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Usage Guide. The MRS cluster and the DataArts Studio workspace belong to the same enterprise project. If they do not, you can modify the enterprise project of the workspace.
Connection Type	Yes	Connection type. Proxy connection is recommended. Proxy connection: An agent (CDM cluster) is used to access MRS clusters. This method supports all versions of MRS clusters. MRS API connection: MRS APIs are used to access MRS clusters. This method supports only MRS clusters of the 2.X or a later version. When you select MRS API connection, pay attention to the following restrictions: Tables and fields cannot be viewed. When the SQL editor is used to run SQL statements, the execution results can be displayed only in logs. This method is not supported by data governance functions such as DataArts Architecture, DataArts Quality, and DataArts Catalog.
Username	No	The username of the MRS cluster. This parameter is mandatory when Connection Type is set to Proxy connection. If a new MRS user is used for connection, you need to log in to Manager and change the initial password. You cannot create a data connection for an MRS security cluster as user admin. User admin is the management page user by default and cannot be used as the authentication user of a security cluster. You can create an MRS user by referring to Creating a Kerberos Authentication User for an MRS Security Cluster. When creating an MRS data connection, set Username and Password to the new MRS username and password. NOTE: For clusters of MRS 3.1.0 or later, the user must at least have permissions of the Manager_viewer role to create data connections in Management Center. To perform database, table, and data operations on components, the user must also have user group permissions of the components. For clusters earlier than MRS 3.1.0, the user must have permissions of the Manager_administrator or System_administrator role to create data connections in Management Center. A user with only the Manager_tenant or Manager_auditor permission cannot create connections.
Password	No	The password for accessing the MRS cluster. This parameter is mandatory when Connection Type is set to Proxy connection.
KMS Key	No	The name of the KMS key. This parameter is mandatory when Connection Type is set to Proxy connection.

Creating a Kerberos Authentication User for an MRS Security Cluster

You cannot create a data connection for an MRS security cluster as user admin. User admin is the management page user by default and cannot be used as the authentication user of a security cluster. To create an MRS user, perform the following steps:

For clusters of MRS 3.x:

Log in to MRS Manager as user admin.
Choose System > Permission > User. On the page displayed, click Create to add a dedicated user as the Kerberos authentication user. Select the user group superGroup for the user, and assign all roles to the user.
- For clusters of MRS 3.1.0 or later, the user must at least have permissions of the Manager_viewer role to create data connections in Management Center. To perform database, table, and data operations on components, the user must also have user group permissions of the components.
- For clusters earlier than MRS 3.1.0, the user must have permissions of the Manager_administrator or System_administrator role to create data connections in Management Center.
- A user with only the Manager_tenant or Manager_auditor permission cannot create connections.
Log in to Manager as the new user and change the initial password. Otherwise, the connection fails to be created.
Synchronize IAM users.
1. Log in to the MRS management console.
2. Choose Clusters > Active Clusters, select a running cluster, and click its name to go to its details page.
3. In the Basic Information area of the Dashboard page, click Synchronize on the right side of IAM User Sync to synchronize IAM users.
  - When the policy of the user group to which the IAM user belongs changes from MRS ReadOnlyAccess to MRS CommonOperations, MRS FullAccess, or MRS Administrator, wait for 5 minutes until the new policy takes effect after the synchronization is complete because the SSSD (System Security Services Daemon) cache of cluster nodes needs time to be updated. Then, submit a job. Otherwise, the job may fail to be submitted.
  - When the policy of the user group to which the IAM user belongs changes from MRS CommonOperations, MRS FullAccess, or MRS Administrator to MRS ReadOnlyAccess, wait for 5 minutes until the new policy takes effect after the synchronization is complete because the SSSD cache of cluster nodes needs time to be updated.

For clusters of MRS 2.x or earlier:

Log in to MRS Manager as user admin.
Choose System > Manage User. On the page displayed, add a dedicated user as the Kerberos authentication user. Select the user group superGroup for the user, and assign all roles to the user.
- For clusters of MRS 2.x or earlier, the user must have permissions of the Manager_administrator or System_administrator role to create data connections in Management Center.
- A user with only the Manager_tenant or Manager_auditor permission cannot create connections.
Log in to MRS Manager as the new user and change the initial password. Otherwise, the connection fails to be created.
Synchronize IAM users.
1. Log in to the MRS management console.
2. Choose Clusters > Active Clusters, select a running cluster, and click its name to go to its details page.
3. In the Basic Information area of the Dashboard page, click Synchronize on the right side of IAM User Sync to synchronize IAM users.
  - When the policy of the user group to which the IAM user belongs changes from MRS ReadOnlyAccess to MRS CommonOperations, MRS FullAccess, or MRS Administrator, wait for 5 minutes until the new policy takes effect after the synchronization is complete because the SSSD (System Security Services Daemon) cache of cluster nodes needs time to be updated. Then, submit a job. Otherwise, the job may fail to be submitted.
  - When the policy of the user group to which the IAM user belongs changes from MRS CommonOperations, MRS FullAccess, or MRS Administrator to MRS ReadOnlyAccess, wait for 5 minutes until the new policy takes effect after the synchronization is complete because the SSSD cache of cluster nodes needs time to be updated.

Editing a Data Connection

Log in to Management Center and click Data Connection Management.
In the data connection list, locate the data connection you want to edit and click Edit in the Operation column.
In the Edit Data Connection dialog box, modify connection parameters as required. For parameter details, see Data Connection Parameter Description.
Click Test to test whether the data connection is valid. If the connection is normal, click Yes.
If the test connection is invalid, the data connection cannot be created. Modify the connection parameters as prompted and try again.

Deleting a Data Connection

If a data connection is deleted, the data table information of the data connection will also be deleted. Exercise caution when performing this operation. If the data connection you want to delete has been referenced, it cannot be deleted.

Log in to Management Center and click Data Connection Management.
In the data connection list, locate the data connection you want to delete and click Delete in the Operation column.
In the dialog box displayed, confirm the data connection information, and click Yes.
