This section contains information related to application development for ecosystem components and MapR products including MapR-DB (binary and JSON), MapR-FS, and MapR Streams.
- Application Development Process
  Before you start developing applications on MapR’s Converged Data Platform, consider how you will get the data onto the platform, the format it will be stored in, the type of processing or modeling that is required, and how the data will be accessed.
- MapR-FS and Apps
  The following sections provide information about accessing MapR-FS with C and Java applications.
- MapR-DB and Apps
  This section contains information about developing client applications for JSON and binary tables.
- MapR-ES and Apps
  MapR-ES brings integrated publish and subscribe messaging to the MapR Converged Data Platform.
- MapReduce and Apps
  This section contains information associated with developing YARN applications.
- MapR Data Science Refinery
  The MapR Data Science Refinery is an easy-to-deploy and scalable data science toolkit with native access to all platform assets and superior out-of-the-box security.

- Ecosystem Components
  The following sections provide information about each open source project that MapR supports.
  - MapR Ecosystem Packs
    A MapR Ecosystem Pack (MEP) provides a set of ecosystem components that work together on one or more MapR cluster versions. Only one version of each ecosystem component is available in each MEP. For example, only one version of Hive and one version of Spark is supported in a MEP.

PAM Authentication for HttpFS

About this task

Complete the following steps to enable PAM authentication for HttpFS.

Procedure

Add the following properties to the /opt/mapr/httpfs/httpfs-1.0/etc/hadoop/httpfs-site.xml file.

<property>
        <name>httpfs.hadoop.authentication.type</name>
        <value>multiauth</value>     
</property>      
          
<property>
        <name>httpfs.authentication.type</name>
        <value>multiauth</value>
</property>

NOTE: On secure clusters, the multiauth authentication is enabled by default.

Restart the HttpFS service.

sudo -u mapr /opt/mapr/httpfs/httpfs-1.0/sbin/httpfs.sh stop
sudo -u mapr /opt/mapr/httpfs/httpfs-1.0/sbin/httpfs.sh start

Run cURL with the PUT operation as shown in this example after restarting the service.
NOTE: If HttpFS is configured with plain authentication through PAM, the cURL request must contain a username and password.
```
curl -X PUT "http://mapr:mapr@node1:14000/webhdfs/v1/tmp/example?op=mkdirs"
```
