How to designate a storm client node using an existing Storm node (edge
node).
To use one of your existing Storm nodes (such as nimbus, supervisors, or drpc) as a
Storm client node, complete the following steps for every user who requires Storm access
(for example, to run Storm commands or deploy topologies):
-
Create a
.storm directory in the user's home directory. For
example, user john should have a directory called
/home/john/.storm/.
- Add the following settings to the
/etc/storm/conf/storm.yaml configuration
file:
nimbus.seeds: <nimbus-host-array>
nimbus.thrift.port: 6627
java.security.auth.login.config: "/etc/storm/conf/client_jaas.conf"
storm.thrift.transport: "org.apache.storm.security.auth.kerberos.KerberosSaslTransportPlugin"
where <nimbus-host-array> is an array of hostnames running
Nimbus (the value should come from
/etc/storm/conf/storm.yaml).
nimbus.seeds: ["c6401.ambari.apache.org",
"c6402.ambari.apache.org"]
Repeat these steps for every user who requires Storm access.
