  • Goals
  • Setup HDB 2.0 on HDP 2.4.0.0 Sandbox
  • Access HDB 2.0 via pgAdmin3 for interactive access

Notes

  • This effort is to get up and running with HDB 2.0 on Hortonworks 2.4.0.0 Tryout Sandbox. This steps mentioned here are not intended for production usage and should be merely used as reference.
  • HDB, a.k.a HAWQ will eventually be integrated as a service similar to other addons like Hive, Hbase etcetera
  • This setup was completed using HDP 2.4.0.0 sandbox which can be downloaded here
  • Article assumes that Sandbox is up and running on VMWare Fusion or Virtual box
  • Reference for this article https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HAWQ/Build+and+Install
  • For the purpose of convenience, we will use HAWQ as the term for HDB 2.0

Installing HAWQ on HDP 2.4.0.0

HAWQ 2.0 is one of the latest release from Pivotal and can be configured in other version of HDP 2.x as reflected in the articles here:

https://community.hortonworks.com/content/kbentry/20420/install-apache-hawq-on-hdp-234.html https://community.hortonworks.com/content/kbentry/34193/install-hdb-hawq-via-ambari-and-use-zeppelin...

  • Login to Sandbox via Terminal if you are using an OSX or via Putty and ensure that you have superuser privileges. Once set, create a directory for dependencies and other binaries that we would use throughout this article
[root@sandbox ~]# mkdir -p /stage
  • Upgrade the sandbox to avoid any dependency issues
[root@sandbox stage]# yum update
  • Login to the Pivotal's binary download portal via network.pivotal.io & download the following binaries & copy them over to the Hortonworks Sandbox virtual machine
    • hdb-ambari-plugin-2.0.0-448.tar.gz
    • hdb-2.0.0.0-22126.tar.gz
  • Uncompress and untar the the directories and setup repository

  • Verify if the setup is configured for HAWQ as well as Ambari Plugin

Matched from:
  • Install hdb-ambari-plugin for HAWQ
[root@sandbox stage]# yum install hdb-ambari-plugin
  • Login to the Ambari web portal and verify that HAWQ is available as a service which can be added just like any other service

  • Add this custom property to hdfs-site.xml via Ambari and the value should be set to true
dfs.allow.truncate
  • Restart HDFS service via Ambari
  • Proceed with adding HAWQ via Ambari as a new service
  • During the "Customize Services" phase, enter port number 10432 or anything beyond linux internal ports as 5432 is reserved by Ambari for storing its metadata, in postgres database.
  • Proceed with configuration and deploy the setup should complete, however, with warnings
NOTE: HAWQ tries to initialize the cluster with default/hardcoded parallel connections and shared buffers which are 3000 and 4000 by default. 
  • Manually initialize HAWQ from command line by reducing the shared_buffers and max_connections as gpadmin user
[root@sandbox stage]# su - gpadmin
[gpadmin@sandbox ~]$ hawq init cluster --max_connections 15 --shared_buffers 500
  • This should bring up the cluster which can be tested and tried out.
[gpadmin@sandbox ~]$ hawq init cluster --max_connections 15 --shared_buffers 500

  • Verifying HAWQ database access by creating a database and a table within
[gpadmin@sandbox ~]$ psql template1
psql (8.2.15)
Type "help" for help.


template1=# create database mydb;
CREATE DATABASE
template1=# \c mydb
You are now connected to database "mydb" as user "gpadmin".
mydb=# 
mydb=# 
mydb=# CREATE TABLE mytable (col1 int, col2 int, col3 int);
CREATE TABLE
mydb=# INSERT INTO mytable select i,i,i from generate_series(0,1000)i;
INSERT 0 1001
mydb=# SELECT count(*) from mytable;
 count 
-------
  1001
(1 row)
