Configure ADLS Gen2 storage locations

After configuring access to ADLS, you can optionally use that ADLS Gen2 storage account as a base storage location; this storage location is mainly for the Hive Warehouse Directory (used for storing the table data for managed tables).

Steps

When creating a cluster, on the Cloud Storage page in the advanced cluster wizard view, select Use existing ADLS storage and enter information related to your storage account, as described in the instructions for configuring access to ADLS Gen2.
Under Storage Locations, enable Configure Storage Locations by clicking the button.
Provide your existing directory name under Base Storage Location.
Note

Make sure that the container already exists within the account.
Under Path for Hive Warehouse Directory property (hive.metastore.warehouse.dir), Cloudbreak automatically suggests a location within the directory. You may optionally update this path or select Do not configure.

Note

This directory structure will be created in your specified container upon the first activity in Hive.

	Note
	Make sure that the container already exists within the account.
