3.2. Using Oozie with MySQL

To set up MySQL for use with Oozie:

On the Ambari Server host, stage the appropriate MySQL connector for later deployment.
1. Install the connector.
  RHEL/CentOS/Oracle Linux yum install mysql-connector-java*
  SLES zypper install mysql-connector-java*
  UBUNTU apt-get install mysql-connector-java*
2. Confirm that mysql-connector-java.jar is in the Java share directory.
  ls /usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java.jar
3. Make sure the .jar file has the appropriate permissions - 644.
4. Execute the following command:
  ambari-server setup --jdbc-db=mysql --jdbc-driver=/usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java.jar
Create a user for Oozie and grant it permissions.
- Using the MySQL database admin utility:
  # mysql -u root -p CREATE USER ‘<OOZIEUSER>’@’%’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘<OOZIEPASSWORD>’;
  GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO '<OOZIEUSER>'@'%';
  FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
- Where <OOZIEUSER> is the Oozie user name and <OOZIEPASSWORD> is the Oozie user password.
Create the Oozie database.
- The Oozie database must be created prior.
  # mysql -u root -p CREATE DATABASE <OOZIEDATABASE>
- Where <OOZIEDATABASE> is the Oozie database name.
