Scenario

This section describes how to add a Hive data source on HSConsole.

Currently, HetuEngine supports data sources of the following traditional data formats: AVRO, TEXT, RCTEXT, Binary, ORC, Parquet, and SequenceFile.

Prerequisites

The domain name of the cluster where the data source is located must be different from the HetuEngine cluster domain name.
The cluster where the data source is located and the HetuEngine cluster nodes can communicate with each other.
A HetuEngine compute instance has been created.

Procedure

Obtain the hdfs-site.xml and core-site.xml configuration files of the Hive data source cluster.
1. Log in to FusionInsight Manager of the cluster where the Hive data source is located.
2. Choose Cluster > Dashboard.
3. Choose More > Download Client and download the client file to the local computer.
4. Decompress the downloaded client file package and obtain the core-site.xml and hdfs-site.xml files in the FusionInsight_Cluster_1_Services_ClientConfig/HDFS/config directory.
5. Check whether the core-site.xml file contains the fs.trash.interval configuration item. If not, add the following configuration items:
```
<property>
<name>fs.trash.interval</name>
<value>2880</value>
</property>
```
6. Change the value of dfs.client.failover.proxy.provider.hacluster in the hdfs-site.xml file to org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.ha.ConfiguredFailoverProxyProvider.
```
<property>
<name>dfs.client.failover.proxy.provider.hacluster</name>
<value>org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.ha.ConfiguredFailoverProxyProvider</value>
</property>
```
  - If HDFS has multiple NameServices, change the values of dfs.client.failover.proxy.provider.NameService name for multiple NameServices in the hdfs-site.xml file to org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.ha.ConfiguredFailoverProxyProvider.
  - In addition, if the hdfs-site.xml file references the host name of a non-HetuEngine cluster node, you need to add the mapping between the referenced host name and the corresponding IP address to the /etc/hosts file of each HetuEngine cluster node. Otherwise, HetuEngine cannot connect to the node that is not in this cluster based on the host name.
  NOTICE:
  
  If the Hive data source to be interconnected is in the same Hadoop cluster with HetuEngine, you can log in to the HDFS client and run the following commands to obtain the hdfs-site.xml and core-site.xml configuration files. For details, see Using the HDFS Client.
  
  hdfs dfs -get /user/hetuserver/fiber/restcatalog/hive/core-site.xml
  
  hdfs dfs -get /user/hetuserver/fiber/restcatalog/hive/hdfs-site.xml
Obtain the user.keytab and krb5.conf files of the proxy user of the Hive data source.
1. Log in to FusionInsight Manager of the cluster where the Hive data source is located.
2. Choose System > Permission > User.
3. Locate the row that contains the target data source user, click More in the Operation column, and select Download Authentication Credential.
4. Decompress the downloaded package to obtain the user.keytab and krb5.conf files.
  NOTE:
  
  The proxy user of the Hive data source must be associated with at least the hive user group.
Obtain the MetaStore URL and the Principal of the server.
1. Decompress the client package of the cluster where the Hive data source is located and obtain the hive-site.xml file from the FusionInsight_Cluster_1_Services_ClientConfig/Hive/config directory.
2. Open the hive-site.xml file and search for hive.metastore.uris. The value of hive.metastore.uris is the value of MetaStore URL. Search for hive.server2.authentication.kerberos.principal. The value of hive.server2.authentication.kerberos.principal is the value of Principal on the server.
Log in to FusionInsight Manager as a HetuEngine administrator and choose Cluster > Services > HetuEngine. The HetuEngine service page is displayed.
In the Basic Information area on the Dashboard page, click the link next to HSConsole WebUI. The HSConsole page is displayed.

Choose Data Source and click Add Data Source. Configure parameters on the Add Data Source page.

Configure parameters in the Basic Information area. For details, see Table 1.

You can click Delete to delete custom configuration parameters.
NOTE:
- You can add prefixes coordinator. and worker. to the preceding custom configuration items to configure coordinators and workers, respectively. For example, if worker.hive.metastore.connection.pool.maxTotal is set to 50, a maximum number of 50 connections are allowed for workers to access Hive MetaStore. If no prefix is added, the configuration item is valid for both coordinators and workers.
- By default, the maximum number of connections for coordinators to access Hive MetaStore is 5 and the maximum and minimum numbers of idle data source connections are both 10. The maximum number of connections for workers to access Hive MetaStore is 20, the maximum and minimum numbers of idle data source connections are both 0.
