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.
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.
- Application Development Process
  Before you start developing applications on the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric platform, consider how you will get the data into the platform, the storage format of the data, the type of processing or modeling that is required, and how the data will be accessed.
- File Store and Apps
  The following sections provide information about accessing the File Store with C and Java applications.
- HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database and Apps
  This section contains information about developing client applications for JSON and key-value tables.
- HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams and Apps
  HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams brings integrated publish and subscribe messaging to HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric.
- MapReduce and Apps
  This section contains information associated with developing YARN applications.
- Kubernetes Interfaces for Data Fabric
  This section describes how to leverage the capabilities of the Kubernetes Interfaces for Data Fabric.
- Ecosystem Components
  The following sections provide information about each open-source project that is supported by the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric.
  - Ezmeral Ecosystem Packs
  - Apache Airflow
    This topic provides an overview of Apache Airflow on HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric.
  - AsyncHBase
  - Cascading
  - Apache Drill
  - Flume
  - Hadoop
  - HBase
    - Configuring HBase
      - Configure MapR-SASL Security (Authentication and Encryption) for HBase
        This section describes the manual method for configuring security in HBase.
      - Configure HBase to use Kerberos
        HBase supports MapR-SASL and Kerberos security, and can run securely independently of the security status of your HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster.
      - Enable Impersonation for HBase
      - Configure HBase ACLs
        HBase supports Access Control Lists (ACLs) to limit the privileges of users on the system. Before you can use ACLs, you need to perform the steps to enable ACLs.
      - Enable HBase Access Control
        The following steps explain how to enable HBase ACLs.
      - Set Up Compression with HBase
        Using compression with HBase reduces the number of bytes transmitted over the network and stored on disk. These benefits often outweigh the performance cost of compressing the data on every write and uncompressing it on every read.
      - Configure the Default Database for HBase Clients
        For HBase version 1.1 and later, a default database configuration determines whether clients connect to HBase tables or HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database tables. You can change the default setting for all HBase clients, or you can set the database for a particular job. This setting is ignored for HBase 0.98.12 client connections.
      - HBase Configuration Properties
        This section describes and shows examples of the configuration properties used in the hbase-site.xml file.
    - Using HBase
  - HBase Client and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database Binary Tables
  - HCatalog
  - Hive
  - HttpFS
  - Hue
  - Impala
  - Livy
    Apache Livy is primarily used to provide integration between Hue and Spark.
  - HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams Clients and Tools
    Describes the supported HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams tools and clients.
  - S3 Gateway
    The S3 gateway is a service that provides an S3-compatible interface to expose data in HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric as objects. The S3 gateway manages all inbound S3 API requests to put data into and get data out of cloud storage.

Enable HBase Access Control

The following steps explain how to enable HBase ACLs.

Procedure

On the HBase Region Server, edit the /opt/mapr/hbase/hbase-<version>/conf/hbase-site.xml file, and add the following section:

<property>
    <name>hbase.coprocessor.region.classes</name>
    <value>org.apache.hadoop.hbase.security.token.TokenProvider,org.apache.hadoop.hbase.security.access.AccessController</value>
</property>
<property>
    <name>hbase.superuser</name>
    <value><admin1>,<admin2>,@<group1>,...</value> <!-- group names are
prefixed with '@' -->
  </property>

On the HBase Master, edit the /opt/mapr/hbase/hbase-<version>/conf/hbase-site.xml file, and add the following section:

<property>
    <name>hbase.coprocessor.master.classes</name>
    <value>org.apache.hadoop.hbase.security.access.AccessController</value>
</property>
<property>
    <name>hbase.superuser</name>
    <value><admin1>,<admin2>,@<group1>,...</value> <!-- group names are
prefixed with '@' -->
  </property>

Restart HBase on every node.
