Cloud service authorization supports permission change agency.

You can manually change a permission agency for MRS Service authorization. After you agree to the authorization, the system will create and grant permissions to mrs_service_agency, mrs_cluster_agency, or mrs_admin_agency based on the agency and policy you have selected.

Added Hudi in MRS.

Hudi is the file organization layer of the data lake. It manages Parquet files, provides the data lake capability, and supports multiple compute engines. It also provides insert, update, and deletion (IUD) interfaces and streaming primitives for inserting, updating, and incremental pulling on HDFS datasets.

Creating Clusters

1

Added automatic synchronization between IAM accounts and cluster users.

IAM user synchronization is to synchronize IAM users bound with MRS policies to the MRS system and create accounts sharing same names with the IAM users but different passwords. Then, you can use an IAM username (the password needs to be reset by user admin of Manager) to log in to Manager for cluster management.

Added Presto HA in MRS.

MRS supports the installation of multiple Presto instances for a large-scale cluster by default. That is, multiple Worker instances, such as Worker1, Worker2, and Worker3, are installed on a Core/Task node. Multiple Worker instances interact with a Coordinator to execute computing tasks, greatly improving node resource utilization and computing efficiency.

Commercial use

Added Tez in MRS.

Tez is Apache's latest open source computing framework that supports Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) jobs. It can convert multiple dependent jobs into one job, greatly improving the performance of DAG jobs. If projects like Hive and Pig use Tez instead of MapReduce as the backbone of data processing, response time will be significantly reduced. Tez is built on Yarn and can run MapReduce jobs without any modification.

Commercial use

Added Ranger in MRS.

Apache Ranger offers a centralized security framework and supports authorization and auditing. It manages fine-grained access control over Hadoop and related components, such as HDFS, Hive, HBase, Kafka, and Storm. You can use the frontend web UI console provided by Ranger to configure policies to control users' access to these components.

Commercial use

Added Alluxio in MRS.

Alluxio is data orchestration technology for analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) for the cloud. In the MRS big data ecosystem, Alluxio lies between computing and storage. It provides a data abstraction layer for computing frameworks including Apache Spark, Presto, MapReduce, and Apache Hive, so that upper-layer computing applications can access persistent storage systems including HDFS and OBS through unified client APIs and a global namespace. In this way, computing and storage are separated.
