Preparing a Local Application Development Environment

Preparing a Running Environment

During application development, prepare the environment for running and commissioning code to verify that the application can run properly.

• If the local Windows development environment can communicate with the cluster service plane network, download the cluster client to the local host; obtain the cluster configuration file required for commissioning; configure the network connection, and commission the application in Windows.
  1. Log in to the FusionInsight Manager portal and choose Cluster > Dashboard > More > Download Client. Set Select Client Type to Configuration Files Only. Select the platform type based on the type of the node where the client is to be installed (select x86_64 for the x86 architecture and aarch64 for the Arm architecture) and click OK. After the client files are packaged and generated, download the client to the local PC as prompted and decompress it.

     For example, if the client file package is FusionInsight_Cluster_1_Services_Client.tar, decompress it to obtain FusionInsight_Cluster_1_Services_ClientConfig_ConfigFiles.tar. Then, decompress this file to the D:\FusionInsight_Cluster_1_Services_ClientConfig_ConfigFiles directory on the local PC. The directory name cannot contain spaces.

  2. Go to the client decompression path FusionInsight_Cluster_1_Services_ClientConfig_ConfigFiles\Spark2x\config and manually import the configuration file to the configuration file directory (usually the resources folder) of the Spark sample project.

     Table 2 describes the main configuration files.

     Table 2 Configuration files

     File	Description
     carbon.properties	CarbonData configurations
     core-site.xml	HDFS parameters
     hdfs-site.xml	HDFS parameters
     hbase-site.xml	HBase parameters
     hive-site.xml	Hive parameters
     jaas-zk.conf	Java authentication configurations
     log4j-executor.properties	Executor log configurations
     mapred-site.xml	Hadoop MapReduce configurations
     ranger-spark-audit.xml	Ranger audit log configurations
     ranger-spark-security.xml	Ranger permission management configurations
     yarn-site.xml	Yarn parameters
     spark-defaults.conf	Spark parameters
     spark-env.sh	Spark environment variable configurations

  3. During application development, if you need to commission the application in the local Windows system, copy the content in the hosts file in the decompression directory to the hosts file of the node where the client is located. Ensure that the local host can communicate correctly with the hosts listed in the hosts file in the decompression directory.
     

     • If the client host is outside the cluster, configure network connections to the client to prevent errors when you run commands on the client.
     • The local hosts file in a Windows environment is stored, for example, in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.

• To use the Linux environment for project commissioning, install the cluster client on the Linux node and obtain related configuration files.
  1. Install the client on the node. For example, install the client in the /opt/client directory.

     The difference between the client time and the cluster time must be less than 5 minutes.

     For details about how to use a client on the master or core nodes inside a cluster, see Using an MRS Client on Nodes Inside a Cluster. For details about how to use a client outside a cluster, see Using an MRS Client on Nodes Outside a Cluster.

  2. Log in to the FusionInsight Manager portal. Download the cluster client software package to the active management node and decompress it. Then, log in to the active management node as user root. Go to the decompression path of the cluster client and copy all configuration files in the FusionInsight_Cluster_1_Services_ClientConfig/Spark2x/config directory to the conf directory where the compiled JAR package is stored for subsequent commissioning, for example, /opt/client/conf.

     For example, if the client software package is FusionInsight_Cluster_1_Services_Client.tar and it is downloaded to the /tmp/FusionInsight-Client directory on the active management node, run the following commands:

     cd /tmp/FusionInsight-Client

     tar -xvf FusionInsight_Cluster_1_Services_Client.tar

     tar -xvf FusionInsight_Cluster_1_Services_ClientConfig.tar

     cd FusionInsight_Cluster_1_Services_ClientConfig

     scp Spark2x/config/* root@IP address of the client node:/opt/client/conf

     File	Description
     carbon.properties	CarbonData configurations
     core-site.xml	HDFS parameters
     hdfs-site.xml	HDFS parameters
     hbase-site.xml	HBase parameters

     ranger-spark-security.xml	Ranger permission management configurations
     yarn-site.xml	Yarn parameters
     spark-defaults.conf	Spark parameters
     spark-env.sh	Spark environment variable configuration file

  3. Check the network connection of the client node.

     During the client installation, the system automatically configures the hosts file on the client node. You are advised to check whether the /etc/hosts file contains the host names of the nodes in the cluster. If they are not contained, manually copy the content in the hosts file in the decompression directory to the hosts file on the node where the client is deployed.
