You can create an HDFS Connection shared resource if you want to build a connection between the plug-in and HDFS.
Prerequisites
The HDFS Connection shared resource is available at the
Resources level. Ensure that you have created a project, as described in
Creating a Project.
Procedure
Expand the created project in the Project Explorer view.
Right-click the
Resources folder and click
New > HDFS Connection.
The resource folder, package name, and resource name of the shared resource are provided by default. You can change these default configurations accordingly. Click
Finish to open the HDFS Connection shared resource editor.
In the
HDFS Url field, specify the WebHDFS URL or the HttpFS URL that is used to connect to HDFS.
In the
User Name field, specify the unique user name that is used to connect to HDFS.
Click
Test Connection to validate the connection.
Optional: If you want to connect to a Kerberized HDFS server, select the
Enable Kerberos check box, and then set up a connection to the Kerberized HDFS server.
Note: If your server uses the AES-256 encryption, you must install Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files on your machine. For more details, see
Installing JCE Policy Files.
From the
Kerberos Method list, select a Kerberos authentication method:
Keytab: specify a keytab file to authorize access to HDFS.
Cached: use the cached credentials to authorize access to HDFS.
Password: specify a password for the Kerberos principal.
In the
Kerberos Principal field, specify the Kerberos principal name that is used to connect to HDFS.
If you select
Keytab as the authentication method, specify the keytab that is used to connect to HDFS in the
Kerberos Keytab field.
