About MapR 6.1
This site contains the main documentation for Version 6.1 of the MapR Converged Data Platform, including installation, configuration, administration, and reference information.
6.1 Installation
This section contains information about installing and upgrading MapR software. It also contains information about how to migrate data and applications from an Apache Hadoop cluster to a MapR cluster.
6.1 MapR Data Platform
MapR Data Platform is the industry-leading data platform for AI and analytics that solves enterprise business needs.
6.1 Administration
This section describes how to manage the nodes and services that make up a cluster.
- Administering Users and Clusters
  Lists topics that help manage a MapR cluster.
- Administering Nodes
  Provides a synopsis of managing nodes in a cluster.
- Administering Volumes
  This section provide information about how to organize and manage data using volumes, a unique feature of MapR clusters.
- Administering Files and Directories
- Administering Tables
  Administration of the MapR Database is done primarily via the command line (maprcli) or with the Managed Control System (MCS). Regardless of whether the MapR Database table is used for binary files or JSON documents, the same types of commands are used with slightly different parameter options. MapR Database administration is associated with tables, columns and column families, and table regions.
- Administering Streams
- Administering MapR Gateways
  A MapR gateway mediates one-way communication between a source MapR cluster and a destination cluster. You can replicate MapR Database tables (binary and JSON) and MapR Event Store For Apache Kafka streams. MapR gateways also apply updates from JSON tables to their secondary indexes and propagate Change Data Capture (CDC) logs.
- Administering Services
- Monitoring the Cluster
  This section describes how to monitor the health and performance of a MapR cluster.
- Configuring Security
  Describes how to configure security and manage secure clusters.
- Managing Secure Clusters
  Provides procedures that will enable you to use MapR clusters securely.
- Administering the MapR Data Access Gateway
  The MapR Data Access Gateway is a service that acts as a proxy and gateway for translating requests between lightweight client applications and the MapR cluster. This section describes considerations when upgrading the service, how to modify configuration settings, and how to administer and manage the service.
- Planning for High Availability
  - CLDB Failover
    Explains the concept of CLDB failover, and its advantages.
  - Best Practices for Running a Highly Available Cluster
    Lists high availability cluster replication types, and the best practices for running such a cluster.
  - ResourceManager High Availability
    Provides an overview of how high availability for Resource Manager works.
    - Manual or Automatic Failover for the ResourceManager
    - Zero Configuration Failover for the ResourceManager
    - Recovery for the ResourceManager
      - ResourceManager Recovery Administration
        Disabling the restart of applications after failover
        Configuring Maximum Attempts for Applications
        Describes how to set the maximum number of restart attempts for all applications run by the MapR ResourceManager and the ApplicationMaster.
        Configuring the MapR File System State Store
        Describes the configuration of the MapR state store.
        Enabling ZooKeeper Based State Store
    - ResourceManager Configuration Properties
- Administrator's Reference
  This section contains in-depth reference information for the administrator.
- Troubleshooting Cluster Administration
  Lists the common errors and their solutions.
- Best Practices for Backing Up MapR Information
  Lists the best practices and performance considerations to follow when backing up MapR information.
6.1 Development
This section contains information related to application development for Ezmeral ecosystem components and MapR Data Platform products, including the file system, Database (Key-Value and JSON), and Event Streams.
Other Docs
This section contains release-independent information, including: MapR Installer documentation, Ecosystem release notes, interoperability matrices, security vulnerabilities, and links to other MapR version documentation.
Glossary
Definitions for commonly used terms in MapR Converged Data Platform environments.

Configuring the MapR File System State Store

Describes the configuration of the MapR state store.

About this task

By default, the Resource Manager stores its state in the MapR filesystem. However, you can change the values for the following properties related to the MapR filesystem state store:

Procedure

To configure the URI to the state store location:
Set the value of yarn.resourcemanager.fs.state-store.uri in the yarn-site.xml file. The value defaults to the ResourceManager volume (/var/mapr/cluster/yarn/rm/system).
To configure the retry policy used by the state store client to connect with MapR file system:
Set the value of yarn.resourcemanager.fs.state-store.retry-policy-spec in the yarn-site.xml file. The value defaults to (2000,500).
To configure the number of completed applications retained by the state store:
Set the value of yarn.resourcemanager.state-store.max-completed-applications in the yarn-site.xml file. The value defaults to 10000.
