      Provides distribution-specific instructions for renaming a node.
    - Changing the IP Address of a Node
      Describes how to change the IP address of any node in the cluster using the CLI.
    - Viewing Active Node Alarms
      Describes how to view active node alarms using the Control System and the CLI.
    - Allocating Memory for Nodes
      Describes how the Warden allocates memory for nodes.
      - Allocating Memory for the OS, file system, and Hadoop Services
        Lists the parameters that control how Warden allocates memory for the OS, file system and the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Hadoop services.
      - Allocating Memory for the File System Service
        Describes how Warden allocates memory for the file system service.
    - Performing Maintenance on a Node from the Command-Line
      Describes how to maintain the performance of a node using the CLI.
  - Managing Roles
    Describes how to manage roles on a node.
  - Managing Services
    Synopsis on managing services.
  - Managing Disks
    Provides a brief overview of adding and removing disks from the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric file system.
- Administering Volumes
  This section provide information about how to organize and manage data using volumes, a unique feature of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric clusters.
- Administering Files and Directories
- Administering Tables
  Administration of the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database is done primarily via the command line (maprcli) or with the Managed Control System (MCS). Regardless of whether the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database table is used for binary files or JSON documents, the same types of commands are used with slightly different parameter options. HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database administration is associated with tables, columns and column families, and table regions.
- Administering Streams
- Administering Data Fabric Gateways
  A HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric gateway mediates one-way communication between a source HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster and a destination cluster. You can replicate HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database tables (binary and JSON) and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams streams. HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 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 Data Access Gateway
  The HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Data Access Gateway is a service that acts as a proxy and gateway for translating requests between lightweight client applications and the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 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.
- Best Practices for Backing Up HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Information
  Lists the best practices and performance considerations to follow when backing up HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric information.
6.2 Development
This section contains information related to application development for Ezmeral ecosystem components and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric products, including the file system, Database (Key-Value and JSON), and Event Streams.
Other Docs
This section contains release-independent information, including: Installer documentation, Ecosystem release notes, interoperability matrices, security vulnerabilities, and links to other data-fabric version documentation.
Glossary
Definitions for commonly used terms in MapR Converged Data Platform environments.

Allocating Memory for the OS, file system, and Hadoop Services

Lists the parameters that control how Warden allocates memory for the OS, file system and the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Hadoop services.

Warden allocates memory to the operating system, file system, and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Hadoop services based on the following parameters:

Parameter	Default OS	file system	Hadoop Service(s)	Description
`service.command.<os\|mfs\|servicename>.heapsize.percent`	10	varies	varies	Defines the heap size percentage.
`service.command.<os\|mfs\|servicename>.heapsize.maxpercent`	Not Applicable	85	Not Applicable	Defines the heap size maximum percentage
`service.command.<os\|mfs\|servicename>.heapsize.max`	4000	Not Applicable	5000	Defines the maximum heap size in MB.
`service.command.<os\|mfs\|servicename>.heapsize.min`	256	512	256	Defines the minimum heap size in MB.

Memory settings for the operating system and the file system are configured in the warden.conf file. The warden.conf file is located in /opt/mapr/conf. Other services, such as NodeManager and ResourceManager, have their own warden.<servicename>.conf file within /opt/mapr/conf/conf.d. For more information about the Warden files, see warden.conf and warden.<servicename>.conf.

Note: Warden allocates resources only for the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Hadoop services associated with roles that are installed on the node.
