MapR 6.0 Documentation

6.0 Development
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.
- MapR Data Fabric for Kubernetes FlexVolume Driver
  This section describes how to use and troubleshoot the MapR Data Fabric for Kubernetes FlexVolume Driver.
- 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.

Creating Share on MapR Using Manila

The MapR driver for Manila enables you to create a share on MapR-FS using the Manila APIs. To set up a share on MapR-FS, log in to the node where manila is installed and run the following command:

manila create --share-type <shareType> <protocol> <quota> --name <volumename> --metadata _tenantuser=<tenantuser> _path=<mountpoint> _name=<shareName>

Here:

Option	Description
`name`	(Optional) Specifies the name for the share (or MapR volume). If this is not specified, volumename is generated based on the share ID.
`Protocol`	Specifies the protocols for share creation. Value must be `MAPRFS` to create a share on MapR-FS.
`quota`	Specifies the amount of disk space in gigabytes (GB) to allocate for the share.
`metadata`	Metadata defined as key=value pairs. For creating a share on MapR-FS, specify values for the following keys: `tenantuser` - The tenant user for whom the share is being created. `path` - (Optional) The path to the mount point for the share. The default value is `<maprfs_base_volume_dir>/<shareid>`.

For example, suppose you are creating a volume, sampleVol, on MapR-FS with a quota of 2GB to be mounted in /cloud/egTenant for tenant user, sampleTenant, your command should look similar to the following:

manila create --name sampleVol MAPRFS 2 --share-type default --metadata _tenantuser=sampleTenant _path=/cloud/egTenant _name=egTenantVol
