    [Note]Note

    If you are installing over an HDP-2.2 version of Ranger, you should review the data in the xa_access_audit table in the Ranger Audit Database. Truncate historical data to reduce install time, especially if you have a lot of data in xa_access_audit table.

  • You should also set up Hadoop group mapping for LDAP/AD.
