3.3. Using Oozie with PostgreSQL

To set up PostgreSQL for use with Oozie:

  1. On the Ambari Server host, stage the appropriate PostgreSQL connector for later deployment.

    1. Install the connector.

      RHEL/CentOS/Oracle Linux

      yum install postgresql-jdbc

      SLES

      zypper install -y postgresql-jdbc

    2. Confirm that .jar is in the Java share directory.

      ls /usr/share/java/postgresql-jdbc.jar

    3. Change the access mode of the .jar file to 644.

      chmod 644 /usr/share/java/postgresql-jdbc.jar

    4. Execute the following command:

      ambari-server setup --jdbc-db=postgres --jdbc-driver=/usr/share/java/postgresql-jdbc.jar

  2. Create a user for Oozie and grant it permissions.

    • Using the PostgreSQL database admin utility:

      echo "CREATE DATABASE <OOZIEDATABASE>;" | psql -U postgres

      echo "CREATE USER <OOZIEUSER> WITH PASSWORD '<OOZIEPASSWORD>';" | psql -U postgres

      echo "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE <OOZIEDATABASE> TO <OOZIEUSER>;" | psql -U postgres

    • Where <OOZIEUSER> is the Oozie user name, <OOZIEPASSWORD> is the Oozie user password and <OOZIEDATABASE> is the Oozie database name.
