HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 6.2 is In Maintenance and transitions to "End of Maintenance" in June 2024. Please see the latest documentation.

About Release 6.2
This site contains documentation for HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric release 6.2 including installation, configuration, administration, and reference content, as well as content for the associated bundled ecosystem components and drivers.
6.2 Installation
This section contains information about installing and upgrading HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric software. It also contains information about how to migrate data and applications from an Apache Hadoop cluster to a HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster.
6.2 Data Fabric
HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric is the industry-leading data platform for AI and analytics that solves enterprise business needs.
6.2 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 data-fabric 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 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.
  - Managing Tables
    HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database supports two types of table: binary tables and JSON tables. This section covers how to create, edit, and delete tables, as well as how to set parameter values, display parameter values, grant permissions and access, replicate tables, and more using the Control System and the CLI.
  - Managing Column Families and Columns
    This section covers overviews of column families in binary tables and JSON tables, how to create column families, alter them, delete them, set permissions on them, and set and display parameter values.
  - Managing Table Replication
    This section contains topics about setting up table replication and administering existing replicas.
    - Preparing Clusters for Table Replication
      Preparing clusters for table replication includes configuring gateways on destination clusters, configuring the mapr-clusters.conf file on the source cluster, and, if the clusters are secure, setting up secure communications between the clusters. After you prepare the clusters for table replication, you can setup replication between tables.
    - Setting Up Table Replication Using the CLI
      You can run the maprcli table replica autosetup command to set up primary-secondary or multi-master replication from an existing source table.
    - Adding Table Replicas
      Explains how to add table replicas using either the Control System, the CLI or the REST API.
    - Displaying the List of Table Replicas
      Describes how to view information on the table replicas using the Control System or the CLI.
    - Modifying Table Replica
      Explains how to edit the properties of a replica using the Control System and the CLI.
    - Removing Table Replicas
      Explains how to un-register one or more replicas using either the Control System or the CLI.
    - Pausing Table Replication
      Explains how to pause table replication of data from a source HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database binary or JSON table to a replica HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database binary or JSON table respectively using either the Control System or the CLI.
    - Resuming Table Replication
      Explains how to resume replication between a source HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database binary or JSON table and a replica of that table when the replication state is set to paused from the Control System or by the maprcli table replica add or the maprcli table replica pause command.
    - Adding a Column Family to a Replica
      Changes to the structure of a source table are not automatically replicated to replica table. You must complete the following steps to add a column family to a replica.
    - Viewing Active Table Replication Alarms
      Describes how to view active table replication alarms using the Control System and the CLI.
    - Managing Upstream Source for Table Replicas
  - Managing Secondary Indexes
    Describes how to manage secondary indexes, including adding, deleting, and listing indexes, setting up your cluster for querying, and troubleshooting index usage.
  - Administering Change Data Capture
    This topic covers the Control System and maprcli tools for managing the Change Data Capture (CDC) feature.
  - Indexing HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database Binary Tables with Elasticsearch
    As of with MapR 6.0, HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database Elastic Search integration capability is deprecated and no longer available in the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database product.
- 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.

Removing Table Replicas

Explains how to un-register one or more replicas using either the Control System or the CLI.

Removing Replication Using the Control System

About this task

Procedure

Go to the table information page.
See Viewing Table Information.
Click Replication to go to that tab.
Select the replicas to remove by clicking the associated checkbox.
Selecting the checkbox next to a replica makes the Actions drop-down menu available.
Select Remove Replica(s) from the Actions drop-down menu.
The Remove Replica(s) confirmation window displays.
Verify the list of replicas to remove and click Remove Replica.
If necessary, click to remove a replica.
The selected replicas are no longer replicas of the source table and will no longer receive updates from the source table. You must also remove upstream source to remove the association between the source table and the replica table. For more information, see Removing Upstream Sources.

Removing Replication Using the CLI or REST API

About this task

The un-register a replica, run the following command:

maprcli table replica remove -path <table path> -replica <replica table path>

To run this command, your user ID must have the following permissions:

readAce and writeAce on both the source volume and the target volume
lookupdir on directories in the paths of both tables
readperm and replperm permissions on the source table

For complete reference, see table replica remove.
