@zetta4ever  In a Hadoop cluster, three types of nodes exist Master, Worker and edge nodes. The distinction of roles helps maintain efficiency. Master nodes control which nodes perform which tasks and what processes run on what nodes. The majority of work is assigned to worker nodes. Worker node store most of the data and perform most of the calculations Edge nodes aka gateway facilitate communications from end users to master and worker nodes. The 3 masternodes should have the Namenode[Active & Standby],YARN [Active & Standby], Zookeeper Quorum [3 masters] and the other component you intend to install and on the 6 worker node aka slave nodes you will install the Nodemanager,Datanodes and the all the clients. There is no need to install the client on the master nodes, Some nodes have important tasks, which may impact performance if interrupted. Edge nodes allow end-users to contact worker nodes when necessary, providing a network interface for the cluster without leaving the entire cluster open to communication. That limitation improves reliability and security. As work is evenly distributed between work nodes, the edge node’s role helps avoid data skewing and performance issues. See my document on edge node https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Support-Questions/Edge-node-or-utility-node-packages/td-p/202164# Hope that helps ... View more

@MayankJ  Your suspicion is spot on !!   Note: Sentry only allows you to grant roles to groups that have alphanumeric characters and underscores (_) in the group name. When Sentry is enabled, you must use Beeline to execute Hive queries. Hive CLI is not supported with Sentry and must be disabled. See Disabling Hive CLI for information on how to disable the Hive CLI.   The GRANT ROLE statement can be used to grant roles to groups and Only Sentry admin users can grant roles to a group.   Create a role   CREATE ROLE datascientist; GRANT ROLE datascientist TO GROUP gurus;   Grant to the database test   GRANT ALL ON DATABASE test TO ROLE datascientist;   Grant to a table lesson in test database   GRANT ALL ON TABLE test.lesson TO ROLE datascientist;   The reason Sentry grants  ROLES to GROUPS is logic to simplifies management where you bundle privileges and grant it to a group so if that the only moving part is the user, so the below statement will effectively  disable mayankj's grants to do anything privileges the datascientist  roles    # gpasswd -d mayankj gurus   Removing user mayankj from group datascientist Quite simple and effective Roles  are created to group together privileges or other roles. They are a means of facilitating the granting of multiple privileges or roles to groups.   Was your question answered? If so make sure to mark the answer as the accepted solution.

@rohit_r_sharma  Can you share the syntax for the topic creation? Is you cluster kerberized?  Is your Ranger Kafka plugin enabled?  Please response and tag me! ... View more

@PauloNeves  Yes, the command show databases will list all databases in a Hive instance whether you are authorized to access it or not. I am sure this is cluster devoid of Ranger or Sentry which are the 2 authorization tools in Cloudera!!!   Once the ranger plugin is enabled then authorization is delegated to Ranger to provide fine-grained data access control in Hive, including row-level filtering and column-level masking. This is the recommended setting to make your database administration easier as it provides a centralized security administration, access control, and detailed auditing for user access within the Hadoop, Hive, HBase, and other components in the ecosystem.   Unfortunately, I had already enabled the Ranger plugin for hive on my cluster but all the same, it confirms what I wrote above. Once the ranger plugin is enabled for a component ie. hive,HBase or Kafka then the authorization is managed exclusively through Ranger Database listing before Ranger Below is what happens if my user sheltong has not explicitly been given authorization through Ranger, see [screenshots] I see no database though I have over 8 databases  See the output of the hive user who has explicit access to all the tables due to the default policy he could see the databases. Database listing after Ranger After creating a policy explicitly giving the user sheltong access to the 3 databases  Policy granting explicit access to 3 databases Now when I re-run the show databases bingo! Back to your question show tables from forbidden_db, it returns an empty list, this can be true especially if the database is empty! has not table like the screenshot below though I have access to the database it's empty Now I create a table and re-run the select now I am able to see the table I hope this demonstrates the power of Ranger and explains maybe what you are encountering, I am also thinking if your cluster has Ranger hive plugin enabled you could have select on the databases but you will need explicit minimum select or the following permission on the underlying database  tables to be able to see them.

@Chahat_0  Hadoop is designed to ensure that compute (Node Managers) runs as close to data (Data Nodes) as possible. Usually containers for jobs are allocated on the same nodes where the data is present. Hence in a typical Hadoop cluster, both Data Nodes and Node Manager run on the same machine.   Node Manager is the RM slave process while the Data Nodes is the Namenode slave process which   responsible for coordinating HDFS functions   Resource Manager: Runs on a master daemon and manages the resource allocation in the cluster. Node Manager: They run on the slave daemons and are responsible for the execution of a task on every single Data Node Node Managers manage the containers requested by jobs Data Nodes manage the data The NodeManager (NM) is YARN’s per-node agent and takes care of the individual compute nodes in a Hadoop cluster. This includes keeping up-to-date with the ResourceManager (RM), overseeing containers’ life-cycle management; monitoring resource usage (memory, CPU) of individual containers, tracking node-health, log’s management, and auxiliary services that may be exploited by different YARN applications. NodeManager communicates directly with the ResourceManager. Resource manager and Namenode both as master components [processes] that can run in single or HA setup should run on separate identical usually high spec servers [nodes] as compared to the data nodes. Zookeeper is another important component   ResourceManager and NodeManager combine together to form a data-computation framework. ResourceManager acts as the scheduler and allocates resources amongst all the applications in the system. NodeManager takes navigation from the ResourceManager and it runs on each node in the cluster. Resources available on a single node is managed by NodeManager. ApplicationMaster, a framework-specific library is responsible for running specific YARN job and for negotiating resources from the ResourceManager, and working with NodeManager to execute and monitor containers.
