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
  - Managing Services
    Synopsis on managing services.
  - Setting Up Central Configuration from the Command-Line
    Describes the concept of a central location where customized MapR configuration files for MapR services are stored.

Configuring MapR FUSE-based POSIX Client for Tenant Environment

Explains the parameters to set to enable tenant user access to tenant shares from the FUSE-based POSIX client.

To enable tenant users to access the tenant share from the FUSE-based POSIX client, set the following configuration parameters in the fuse.conf file on the tenant host:

fuse.mount.point: Specifies the local mount path to where the cluster filesystem is going to mount. To mask the MapR branding from the tenant user, do not specify /mapr as the value for this parameter.

fuse.export: Specifies the path to the tenant volume mount path or directory under the tenant volume mount point. This is disabled by default, allowing users to access all the clusters specified in the /opt/mapr/conf/mapr-clusters.conf file. This must be set to enable the user on the tenant host to directly access only the specified volume or directory.

fuse.ticketfile.location: Specifies the path to the tenant ticket file to start the service in secure mode.

For more information on all other available and supported parameters, see Configuring the MapR FUSE-based POSIX Client.
