These properties are used to configure tHBaseConfiguration running in the Spark Batch Job framework.

The Spark Batch tHBaseConfiguration component belongs to the Storage and the Databases families.

The component in this framework is available in all subscription-based Talend products with Big Data and Talend Data Fabric.

Basic settings

Property type

Either Built-In or Repository.

Built-In: No property data stored centrally.

Repository: Select the repository file where the properties are stored.

Distribution

Select the cluster you are using from the drop-down list. The options in the list vary depending on the component you are using. Among these options, the following ones requires specific configuration:
  • If available in this Distribution drop-down list, the Microsoft HD Insight option allows you to use a Microsoft HD Insight cluster. For this purpose, you need to configure the connections to the HD Insight cluster and the Windows Azure Storage service of that cluster in the areas that are displayed. For detailed explanation about these parameters, see Configuring the connection manually.

  • If you select Amazon EMR, find more details in Amazon EMR - Getting Started.

  • The Custom option allows you to connect to a cluster different from any of the distributions given in this list, that is to say, to connect to a cluster not officially supported by Talend .

  1. Select Import from existing version to import an officially supported distribution as base and then add other required jar files which the base distribution does not provide.

  2. Select Import from zip to import the configuration zip for the custom distribution to be used. This zip file should contain the libraries of the different Hadoop elements and the index file of these libraries.

    Note that custom versions are not officially supported by Talend . Talend and its community provide you with the opportunity to connect to custom versions from Talend Studio but cannot guarantee that the configuration of whichever version you choose will be easy, due to the wide range of different Hadoop distributions and versions that are available. As such, you should only attempt to set up such a connection if you have sufficient Hadoop experience to handle any issues on your own.

    Note:

    In this dialog box, the active check box must be kept selected so as to import the jar files pertinent to the connection to be created between the custom distribution and this component.

    For a step-by-step example about how to connect to a custom distribution and share this connection, see Hortonworks.

HBase version

Select the version of the Hadoop distribution you are using. The available options vary depending on the component you are using.

Zookeeper quorum

Type in the name or the URL of the ZooKeeper service you use to coordinate the transaction between your Talend Studio and your database. Note that when you configure the ZooKeeper, you might need to explicitly set the zookeeper.znode.parent property to define the path to the root Znode that contains all the Znodes created and used by your database; then select the Set Zookeeper znode parent check box to define this property.

Zookeeper client port

Type in the number of the client listening port of the ZooKeeper service you are using.

Use kerberos authentication

If the database to be used is running with Kerberos security, select this check box, then, enter the principal names in the HBase Master principal and HBase Region Server principal fields. You should be able to find the information in the hbase-site.xml file of the cluster to be used.

If you need to use a Kerberos keytab file to log in, select Use a keytab to authenticate. A keytab file contains pairs of Kerberos principals and encrypted keys. You need to enter the principal to be used in the Principal field and the access path to the keytab file itself in the Keytab field. This keytab file must be stored in the machine in which your Job actually runs, for example, on a Talend JobServer.

Note that the user that executes a keytab-enabled Job is not necessarily the one a principal designates but must have the right to read the keytab file being used. For example, the username you are using to execute a Job is user1 and the principal to be used is guest; in this situation, ensure that user1 has the right to read the keytab file to be used.

HBase parameters

If you need to use custom configuration for your database, complete this table with the property or properties to be customized. Then at runtime, the customized property or properties will override the corresponding ones used by Talend Studio.

Usage

Usage rule

This component is used with no need to be connected to other components.

You must drop tHBaseConfiguration along with the HBase-related subJob to be run in the same Job so that the configuration is used by the whole Job at runtime.

This component, along with the Spark Batch component Palette it belongs to, appears only when you are creating a Spark Batch Job.

Note that in this documentation, unless otherwise explicitly stated, a scenario presents only Standard Jobs, that is to say traditional Talend data integration Jobs.

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure that you have met the Loopback IP prerequisites expected by your database.

For further information about how to install a Hadoop distribution, see the manuals corresponding to the Hadoop distribution you are using.

Spark Connection

In the Spark Configuration tab in the Run view, define the connection to a given Spark cluster for the whole Job. In addition, since the Job expects its dependent jar files for execution, you must specify the directory in the file system to which these jar files are transferred so that Spark can access these files:
  • Yarn mode (Yarn client or Yarn cluster):

    When using on-premises distributions, use the configuration component corresponding to the file system your cluster is using. Typically, this system is HDFS and so use tHDFSConfiguration.

    Actually, this component is relevant with the traditional on-premises Hadoop distributions only.

  • Standalone mode: use the configuration component corresponding to the file system your cluster is using, such as tHDFSConfiguration Apache Spark Batch or tS3Configuration Apache Spark Batch.

    If you are using Databricks without any configuration component present in your Job, your business data is written directly in DBFS (Databricks Filesystem).

This connection is effective on a per-Job basis.
