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
- Administrator's Reference
  This section contains in-depth reference information for the administrator.
  - maprcli and REST API Syntax
    This section provides information about the MapR command API. Most commands can be run on the command-line interface (CLI), or by making REST requests programmatically or in a browser.
  - Utilities
    Contains information about various scripts and utilities, that help setup, maintain, and monitor clusters.
  - Configuration Files
    This section contains reference information about various configuration files.
  - Alarms Reference
    The pages in this section provide details about all of the types of alarms.
    - User/Group Alarms

Glossary
Definitions for commonly used terms in MapR Converged Data Platform environments.

No Nodes in Topology

UI Column: No Nodes in Vol Topo
Logged As: VOLUME_ALARM_NO_NODES_IN_TOPOLOGY
Meaning: The path specified in the volume's topology no longer corresponds to a physical topology that contains any nodes, either due to node failures or changes to node topology settings. While this alarm is raised, MapR places data for the volume on nodes outside the volume's topology to prevent write failures.
Resolution: Add nodes to the specified volume topology, either by moving existing nodes or adding nodes to the cluster. See Understanding Topology.
