Basic Testing On Hadoop Environment [Cloudera]

These are a set of testing which we can do on a Hadoop environment. These are basic testing to make sure the environment is setup correctly.
NOTE : On a kerberized cluster we need to use the keytab to execute these commands.
Creating keytab.
 $ ktutil
 ktutil:  addent -password -p @ADDOMAIN.AHMEDINC.COM -k 1 -e RC4-HMAC
 Password for @ADDOMAIN.AHMEDINC.COM: ********
 ktutil:  wkt .keytab
 ktutil:  quit
 $ ls
 .keytab

HDFS Testing

 hadoop jar /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH/lib/hadoop-mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-examples.jar pi 100 100000
Running TestDFSIO
 hadoop jar  /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH/lib/hadoop-mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-client-jobclient*tests*.jar
Command output.

Example execution.
 hadoop jar  /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH/lib/hadoop-mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-client-jobclient*tests*.jar TestDFSIO -write -nrFiles 10 -fileSize 1000
 hadoop jar  /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH/lib/hadoop-mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-client-jobclient*tests*.jar TestDFSIO -read -nrFiles 10 -fileSize 1000
Running Terasort
First create the data using teragen.
 hadoop jar /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH/lib/hadoop-mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-examples.jar teragen 1000000 /user/zahmed/terasort-input
Then execute terasort (mapreduce job) on the generated teragen data set.
 hadoop jar /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH/lib/hadoop-mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-examples.jar terasort /user/zahmed/terasort-input /user/zahmed/terasort-output

YARN Testing

When the above jobs are running we can go to Cloudera manager -> YARN -> Applications to check the application running.

Testing Hive from Hue

If using a kerberos environment do this before creating a table.
Creating a Database.
 create database TEST;
Creating a Table.
 use TEST;
 CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS employee ( eid int, name String, salary String, destination String);
Insert into table.
 insert into table employee values (1,'zubair','13123123','eng')
 select * from employee where eid=1;
This should return inserted value.

Testing Impala from Hue

Invalidate metastore and check for hive database.
 invalidate metadata;
You should see the test database created earlier. Execute select query to verify.
 select * from employee where eid=1;

Testing Spark

Running a Pi Job. Logon to one of the Gateway nodes.
 spark-submit --class org.apache.spark.examples.SparkPi --deploy-mode cluster --master yarn /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-5.8.3-1.cdh5.8.3.p0.2/lib/spark/lib/spark-examples.jar 10

Testing and Grant Permission on Hbase

First pick the hbase keytab above and execute below command.
NOTE: If you are using a kerberos environment and want to give access to other users, you need to use the hbase keytab.
 $ hbase shell
 17/02/20 08:44:29 INFO Configuration.deprecation: hadoop.native.lib is deprecated. Instead, use io.native.lib.available
 HBase Shell; enter 'help' for list of supported commands.
 Type "exit" to leave the HBase Shell

Adding permission to new user.
 hbase(main):005:0> grant "zahmed", "RWC", "emp"

 2 row(s) in 0.0510 seconds

 hbase(main):007:0>
Now logon to hue to check the new hbase table appear there.

Key Trustee Testing

NOTE: To enable key trustee the server should be kerberos enabled.

Create a key and directory.

 kinit 
 hadoop key create mykey1
 hadoop fs -mkdir /tmp/zone1
 kinit hdfs
 hdfs crypto -createZone -keyName mykey1 -path /tmp/zone1

Create a file, put it in your zone and ensure the file can be decrypted.

 kinit 
 echo "Hello World" > /tmp/helloWorld.txt
 hadoop fs -put /tmp/helloWorld.txt /tmp/zone1
 hadoop fs -cat /tmp/zone1/helloWorld.txt
 rm /tmp/helloWorld.txt

Ensure the file is stored as encrypted.

 kinit hdfs
 hadoop fs -cat /.reserved/raw/tmp/zone1/helloWorld.txt
 hadoop fs -rm -R /tmp/zone1

Command Output

Getting user credentials.

Zabbix History Table Clean Up

Zabbix history table gets really big, and if you are in a situation where you want to clean it up. Then we can do so, using the below steps. Stop zabbix server. Take table backup - just in case. Create a temporary table. Update the temporary table with data required, upto a specific date using epoch . Move old table to a different table name. Move updated (new temporary) table to original table which needs to be cleaned-up. Drop the old table. (Optional) Restart Zabbix Since this is not offical procedure, but it has worked for me so use it at your own risk. Here is another post which will help is reducing the size of history tables - http://zabbixzone.com/zabbix/history-and-trends/ Zabbix Version : Zabbix v2.4 Make sure MySql 5.1 is set with InnoDB as innodb_file_per_table=ON Step 1 Stop the Zabbix server sudo service zabbix-server stop Script. echo "------------------------------------------" echo " 1.

Access Filter in SSSD `ldap_access_filter` [SSSD Access denied / Permission denied ]

Access Filter Setup with SSSD ldap_access_filter (string) If using access_provider = ldap , this option is mandatory. It specifies an LDAP search filter criteria that must be met for the user to be granted access on this host. If access_provider = ldap and this option is not set, it will result in all users being denied access. Use access_provider = allow to change this default behaviour. Example: access_provider = ldap ldap_access_filter = memberOf=cn=allowed_user_groups,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com Prerequisites yum install sssd Single LDAP Group Under domain/default in /etc/sssd/sssd.conf add: access_provider = ldap ldap_access_filter = memberOf=cn=Group Name,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com Multiple LDAP Groups Under domain/default in /etc/sssd/sssd.conf add: access_provider = ldap ldap_access_filter = (|(memberOf=cn=System Adminstrators,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com)(memberOf=cn=Database Users,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com)) ldap_access_filter accepts standa

Installing Zabbix Version 2.4 Offline (Zabbix Server without Internet).

There might be situations where you have a remote/zabbix server which does not have internet connectivity, due to security or other reasons. So we create a custom repo on the remote/zabbix server so that we can install zabbix using rpms Here is how we are planning to do this. Download all the dependency rpms on a machine which has internet connection, using yum-downloadonly or repotrack . Transfer all the rpms to the remote server. Create a repo on the remote server. Update yum configuration. Install. NOTE: This method can be used to install any application, but here we have used zabbix as we had this requirement for a zabbix server. Download dependent rpms . On a machine which has internet connection install the package below. And download all the rpms . Make sure the system are similar (not required to be identical - At-least the OS should be of same version) mkdir /zabbix_rpms yum install yum-downloadonly Downloading all the rpms to location /zabbix_rpms/ ,
