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.
  - Managing Nodes
    Describes the Nodes page on the Control System.
  - Managing Roles
    Describes how to manage roles on a node.
    - Adding Roles to a Node
      Summarizes the process to add a role.
    - Removing Roles from a Node
      Describes how to remove a role from a node.
      - Removing a Role
        Describes how to remove a role from a node, using the CLI.
      - Removing a CLDB Role
        Describes how to remove the CLDB role from a node.
      - Removing a ZooKeeper Role
        Describes how to remove the ZooKeeper role from a node.
      - Removing a Fileserver Role
        Describes how to remove the Fileserver role from a node.
    - Assigning Roles to Nodes for Best Performance
      Guidelines to optimise the cluster's service layout for best performance.
  - Managing Services
    Synopsis on managing services.
  - Managing Disks
    Provides a brief overview of adding and removing disks from the MapR file system.
- 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
- Administrator's Reference
  This section contains in-depth reference information for the administrator.
- Troubleshooting Cluster Administration
  Lists the common errors and their solutions.

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.

Removing a ZooKeeper Role

Describes how to remove the ZooKeeper role from a node.

About this task

The following steps describe how to remove the ZooKeeper role from a node:

Procedure

Issue the following command to stop ZooKeeper on the node:
```
% service mapr-zookeeper stop
```
Purge the ZooKeeper package mapr-zookeeper.
Run configure.sh.
Use the -Z option and provide the list of ZooKeeper nodes that excludes the node where you removed the role.
Perform a rolling restart of ZooKeeper on all other ZooKeeper nodes.
A rolling restart of ZooKeeper means restart ZooKeeper on each node, one at a time, pausing until the last restart finishes before beginning the next. Restart the ZooKeeper leader last.
Issue the following command to verify that ZooKeeper is healthy and that the expected nodes adopted the ZooKeeper node:
```
% service mapr-zookeeper qstatus
```
Perform a rolling restart of Warden on all other nodes.
Warden picks up the revised quorum.
