12. Configure Apache Phoenix

To enable global indexing and (optionally) local indexing in Apache 3Phoenix, complete the following steps.

  1. Add the following property to the hbase-site.xml file on all HBase nodes, the Master Server, and all Region servers, to prevent deadlocks from occurring during maintenance on global indexes:

    </property>
     <name>hbase.region.server.rpc.scheduler.factory.class</name>
     <value>org.apache.phoenix.hbase.index.ipc.
        PhoenixIndexRpcSchedulerFactory</value>
     <description>Factory to create the Phoenix RPC Scheduler that knows to put index
     updates into index queues</description>
    </property> 
  2. (Optional) To use local indexing, set the following two properties. These properties ensure colocation of data table and local index regions:

    [Note]Note

    The local indexing feature is a technical preview and considered under development. Do not use this feature in your production systems. If you have questions regarding this feature, contact Support by logging a case on our Hortonworks Support Portal at http://hortonworks.com/support/.

    </property>
     <name>hbase.master.loadbalancer.class</name>
     <value>org.apache.phoenix.hbase.index.balancer.IndexLoadBalancer</value>
    </property>
     
    </property>
     <name>hbase.coprocessor.master.classes</name>
     <value>org.apache.phoenix.hbase.index.master.IndexMasterObserver</value>
    </property>
  3. Restart the HBase Master and Region Servers.

  4. Replace the client jar file before connecting the new Phoenix client to the Phoenix cluster:

    1. Navigate to /usr/hdp/current

    2. Copy the contents of the phoenix-client directory into the phoenix-client-upgrade directory:

      cp -r phoenix-client phoenix-client-upgrade

    3. Download the special 2.2 migration jar file, phoenix-4.2.0.2.2.0.0-2041-client.jar, and copy it into the phoenix-client-upgrade folder:

      cp ~/phoenix-4.2.0.2.2.0.0-2041-client.jar /usr/hdp/current/phoenix-client-upgrade/phoenix-4.2.0.2.2.0.0-2041-client.jar

    4. Navigate to the phoenix-client-upgrade directory. Start sqlline as follows:

      ./bin/sqlline.py <zookeeper_quorum>

      where zookeeper_quorum is the connection string to Phoenix, such as localhost:2181:/hbase-unsecure

    5. When the command finishes, you should see a message similar to the following: Connected to: Phoenix (version 4.2)

      Driver: PhoenixEmbeddedDriver (version 4.2)
      Autocommit status: true
      Transaction isolation: TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED
      Building list of tables and columns for tab-completion (set fastconnect to true to skip)...

      Done
      sqlline version 1.1.2
      0: jdbc:phoenix:localhost>
    6. Exit sqline shell:

      !quit

Configuring Phoenix to Run in a Secure Cluster

Perform the following additional steps to configure Phoenix to run in a secure Hadoop cluster:

  1. To link the HBase configuration file with the Phoenix libraries:

    ln -sf HBASE_CONFIG_DIR/hbase-site.xml PHOENIX_HOME/bin/hbase-site.xml

  2. To link the Hadoop configuration file with the Phoenix libraries:

    ln -sf HADOOP_CONFIG_DIR/core-site.xml PHOENIX_HOME/bin/core-site.xml

[Note]Note

When running the pssql.py and sqlline.py Phoenix scripts in secure mode, you can safely ignore the following warnings.
