Centralized DB for multiple hue servers

avatar
Contributor

Hello,

I wish to load balance multiple hue servers under a load balancer. Each hue server keeps the record in its own prostgre database. For running a multiple hue servers, I need to keep these records in a centralized DB. Is it possible to maintain the entire hue servers in my cluster in a centralized db?

Thanks in advance.

Scheme should be created automatically, Follow below steps:

To set up Hue to use a MySQL database:

  1. Create a new user in MySQL, and grant privileges to it to manage the database using the MySQL database admin utility:
    # mysql -u root -p<
    CREATE USER $HUEUSER IDENTIFIED BY '$HUEPASSWORD';
    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on *.* to ‘$HUEUSER’@’localhost’ WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT ALL on $HUEUSER.* to ‘$HUEUSER’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY $HUEPASSWORD;
    FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

    where $HUEUSER is the Hue user name and $HUEPASSWORD is the Hue user password.

  2. Create the MySQL database for Hue:

    # mysql -u root -p

    CREATE DATABASE $DBNAME;

  3. Open the /etc/hue/conf/hue.ini file and edit the [[database]] section (modify for your MySQL setup).
    [[database]] 
    engine=mysql
    host=$DATABASEIPADDRESSORHOSTNAME
    port=$PORT
    user=$HUEUSER
    password=$HUEPASSWORD
    name=$DBNAME
  4. Synchronize Hue with the external database to create the schema and load the data.

    /usr/lib/hue/build/env/bin/hue syncdb --noinput

  5. Start Hue.

    /etc/init.d/hue start

Thank you for all your responses. It works fine. But I got some error while restarting hue service in all hosts.

[centos@ip-172-31-56-224 ~]$ sudo -i [root@ip-172-31-56-224 ~]# /etc/init.d/hue restart

Will it impact my environment?
