Overview of this book

As more and more organizations are discovering the use of big data analytics, interest in platforms that provide storage, computation, and analytic capabilities is booming exponentially. This calls for data management. Hadoop caters to this need. Oozie fulfils this necessity for a scheduler for a Hadoop job by acting as a cron to better analyze data. Apache Oozie Essentials starts off with the basics right from installing and configuring Oozie from source code on your Hadoop cluster to managing your complex clusters. You will learn how to create data ingestion and machine learning workflows. This book is sprinkled with the examples and exercises to help you take your big data learning to the next level. You will discover how to write workflows to run your MapReduce, Pig ,Hive, and Sqoop scripts and schedule them to run at a specific time or for a specific business requirement using a coordinator. This book has engaging real-life exercises and examples to get you in the thick of things. Lastly, you’ll get a grip of how to embed Spark jobs, which can be used to run your machine learning models on Hadoop. By the end of the book, you will have a good knowledge of Apache Oozie. You will be capable of using Oozie to handle large Hadoop workflows and even improve the availability of your Hadoop environment.

Oozie in secured cluster


A Hadoop cluster, which has been secured, needs some additional configuration for Oozie to work properly. The standard actions like Pig or MapReduce do not need any additional configuration from the Oozie side to run. However, when Oozie needs to talk to external services such as HBase, HCatalog, and Hive2 Server, we need to know how to authenticate them.

This is done by providing information about credentials for the security. Oozie has provided implementation for authentication for different external tools like Hive, HBase, and HCat.

In oozie-site.xml, we need to add the following code:

<property>
  <name>oozie.credentials.credentialclasses</name>
  <value>
    hcat=org.apache.oozie.action.hadoop.HCatCredentials,
    hbase=org.apache.oozie.action.hadoop.HbaseCredentials,
    hive2=org.apache.oozie.action.hadoop.Hive2Credentials
  </value>
</property>

In workflow.xml, we need to state that we want to use the declared credentials and...
