Configure and Start Apache WebHCat (Templeton)

RHEL/CentOS/Oracle Linux

Copy the appropriate configurations from /etc/hcatalog/conf to /etc/hive- webhcat/conf/.
Copy the new Pig, Hive and Hadoop-streaming jars to HDFS using the path you specified in ./etc/hive-webhcat/conf/ and change ownership to the hcat user with 755 permissions. For example:
hdfs dfs -copyFromLocal /usr/share/HDP-webhcat/hive.tar.gz /usr/share/HDP-webhcat/pig.tar.gz/usr/hdp/version/hadoop-mapreduce/hadoop-streaming.jar hdfs:///apps/webhcat/.
hdfs dfs -chmod -R 755 hdfs:///apps/webhcat/*
hdfs dfs -chown -R hcat hdfs:///apps/webhcat/*
Replace your WebHCat configuration after upgrading. Copy your modified /etc/webhcat/conf from the template to the configuration directory in all your WebHCat hosts.
Start WebHCat:
sudo su -l $WEBHCAT_USER -c "//hive-hcatalog/sbin/webhcat_server.sh start"
Smoke test WebHCat.
On the WebHCat host machine, run the following command:
http://$WEBHCAT_HOST_MACHINE:50111/templeton/v1/status
If you are using a secure cluster, run the following command:
curl --negotiate -u:http://cluster.$PRINCIPAL.$REALM:50111/templeton/v1/ status{"status":"ok","version":"v1"}[machine@acme]$
Remove shared libraries from old Templeton installation.
On the WebHCat host machine, run the following command:
sudo su -l $HDFS_USER -c "hdfs dfs -rmr -skipTrash /apps/templeton" rm -rf /usr/share/HDP-templeton
where
- $WEBHCAT_USERis the WebHCat Service user. For example, hcat.
- $HDFS_USERis the HDFS Service user. For example, hdfs.

Copy the appropriate configurations from /etc/hcatalog/conf to /etc/hive-webhcat/conf/.
Copy the new Pig, Hive and Hadoop-streaming jars to HDFS using the path you specified in ./etc/hive-webhcat/conf/ and change ownership to the hcat user with 755 permissions. For example:
hdfs dfs -copyFromLocal /usr/share/HDP-webhcat/hive.tar.gz /usr/share/HDP-webhcat/pig.tar.gz/usr/hdp/version/hadoop-mapreduce/hadoop-streaming.jar hdfs:///apps/webhcat/.
hdfs dfs -chmod -R 755 hdfs:///apps/webhcat/*
hdfs dfs -chown -R hcat hdfs:///apps/webhcat/*
Replace your WebHCat configuration after upgrading. Copy your modified /etc/webhcat/conf from the template to the configuration directory in all your WebHCat hosts.

Modify the WebHCat configuration files.

Upload Pig, Hive and Sqoop tarballs to HDFS as the $HDFS_User. In this example, hdfs:

hdfs dfs -mkdir -p /hdp/apps/2.3.0.0-<$version>/pig/
hdfs dfs -mkdir -p /hdp/apps/2.3.0.0-<$version>/hive/
hdfs dfs -mkdir -p /hdp/apps/2.3.0.0-<$version>/sqoop/
hdfs dfs -put /usr/hdp/2.3.0.0-<$version>/pig/pig.tar.gz /hdp/apps/2.3.0.0-<$version>/pig/
hdfs dfs -put /usr/hdp/2.3.0.0-<$version>/hive/hive.tar.gz /hdp/apps/2.3.0.0-<$version>/hive/
hdfs dfs -put /usr/hdp/2.3.0.0-<$version>/sqoop/sqoop.tar.gz /hdp/apps/2.3.0.0-<$version>/sqoop/
hdfs dfs -chmod -R 555 /hdp/apps/2.3.0.0-<$version>/pig
hdfs dfs -chmod -R 444 /hdp/apps/2.3.0.0-<$version>/pig/pig.tar.gz
hdfs dfs -chmod -R 555 /hdp/apps/2.3.0.0-<$version>/hive
hdfs dfs -chmod -R 444 /hdp/apps/2.3.0.0-<$version>/hive/hive.tar.gz
hdfs dfs -chmod -R 555 /hdp/apps/2.3.0.0-<$version>/sqoop
hdfs dfs -chmod -R 444 /hdp/apps/2.3.0.0-<$version>/sqoop/sqoop.tar.gz
hdfs dfs -chown -R hdfs:hadoop /hdp

Update the following properties in the webhcat-site.xml configuration file, as their values have changed:

<property>
 <name>templeton.pig.archive</name>
 <value>hdfs:///hdp/apps/${hdp.version}/pig/pig.tar.gz</value>
</property>
 
</property>
 <name>templeton.hive.archive</name>
 <value>hdfs:///hdp/apps/${hdp.version}/hive/hive.tar.gz</value>
</property>
 
</property>
 <name>templeton.streaming.jar</name>
 <value>hdfs:///hdp/apps/${hdp.version}/mapreduce/hadoop-streaming.jar</value>
 <description>The hdfs path to the Hadoop streaming jar file.</description>
</property>
 
</property>
 <name>templeton.sqoop.archive</name>
 <value>hdfs:///hdp/apps/${hdp.version}/sqoop/sqoop.tar.gz</value>
 <description>The path to the Sqoop archive.</description>
</property>
 
</property>
 <name>templeton.sqoop.path</name>
 <value>sqoop.tar.gz/sqoop/bin/sqoop</value>
 <description>The path to the Sqoop executable.</description>
</property>
 
</property>
 <name>templeton.sqoop.home</name>
 <value>sqoop.tar.gz/sqoop</value>
 <description>The path to the Sqoop home in the exploded archive.</description>
</property>

	Note
	You do not need to modify ${hdp.version}.

Remove the following obsolete properties from webhcat-site.xml:

<property>
 <name>templeton.controller.map.mem</name>
 <value>1600</value>
 <description>Total virtual memory available to map tasks.</description>
</property>

</property>
 <name>hive.metastore.warehouse.dir</name>
 <value>/path/to/warehouse/dir</value>
</property>

Add new proxy users, if needed. In core-site.xml, make sure the following properties are also set to allow WebHcat to impersonate your additional HDP 2.3 groups and hosts:
```
<property>
 <name>hadoop.proxyuser.hcat.groups</name>
 <value>*</value>
</property> 
 
</property>
 <name>hadoop.proxyuser.hcat.hosts</name>
 <value>*</value>
</property>
```
Where:
hadoop.proxyuser.hcat.group
Is a comma-separated list of the Unix groups whose users may be impersonated by 'hcat'.
hadoop.proxyuser.hcat.hosts
A comma-separated list of the hosts which are allowed to submit requests by 'hcat'.

Start WebHCat:
su -l hcat -c "/usr/hdp/current/hive-webhcat/sbin/webhcat_server.sh start"
Smoke test WebHCat.
On the WebHCat host machine, run the following command:
http://$WEBHCAT_HOST_MACHINE:50111/templeton/v1/status
If you are using a secure cluster, run the following command:
curl --negotiate -u:http://cluster.$PRINCIPAL.$REALM:50111/templeton/v1/ status{"status":"ok","version":"v1"}[machine@acme]$
Remove shared libraries from old Templeton installation.
On the WebHCat host machine, run the following command:
sudo su -l $HDFS_USER -c "hdfs dfs -rmr -skipTrash /apps/templeton" rm -rf /usr/share/HDP-templeton
where
- $WEBHCAT_USER is the WebHCat Service user. For example, hcat.
- $HDFS_USER is the HDFS Service user. For example, hdfs.
