HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 6.2 Documentation

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 MapR 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 Event Data 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
  - Managing Services
    Synopsis on managing services.
  - Setting Up Central Configuration from the Command-Line
    Describes the concept of a central location where customized data-fabric configuration files for data-fabric services are stored.
  - Viewing CLDB Information
    Describes how to view CLDB information from the CLDB page, and provides an explanation of each field that the page displays.
  - Managing Drill
    Provides a short description on managing Drill services.
  - Managing the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric NFS Service
    Provides an overview of managing the NFS for the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric service on a licensed cluster.
  - Managing Data Fabric POSIX Clients
    Provides a brief synopsis of data-fabric POSIX clients.
  - Managing the MAST Gateway
  - Configuring YARN for Control Groups
    Control groups (cgroups) are a Linux kernel feature available through the LinuxContainerExecutor program that you can configure to limit and monitor the CPU resources available to YARN container processes on a node.
  - Configuring NodeManager Restart
  - Managing Jobs and Applications
- Monitoring the Cluster
  This section describes how to monitor the health and performance of a MapR cluster.
- Configuring Security
  Describes how to configure MapR 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.

Administering Services

The various topics in this section describe how to manage (start, stop, restart, etc.) the various services installed on the MapR cluster using the MapR Control System (click Services) and the CLI.
