Oozie client packages

Prerequisites

• Infrastructure: Unmanaged host running one of these operating systems:

  • RHEL or RHEL-compatible (using yum)

  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) (using zypper)

  • Ubuntu or Debian (using apt)

• Java Development Kit: Full JDK installed on the unmanaged node, matching the version used on the managed cluster.

Step 1: Set up Kerberos and Java Key Stores

If your cluster uses Kerberos for authentication (highly recommended for secure environments):

1. Install Java Key Stores and Trust Stores.

   Import your Java key-store (.jks) and trust-store files as required by your cluster security configuration.

2. Validate Kerberos Client Installation

   Ensure the unmanaged node has Kerberos utilities (krb5-workstation or appropriate packages) installed and configured to communicate with the cluster’s Kerberos KDC.

Step 2: Obtain and Copy Configuration Files

To ensure consistent configuration, copy the necessary service configuration files from a managed Cloudera Manager host to unmanaged nodes.

1. On a managed node with the related components installed (typically under /etc), locate /etc/hadoop/conf config directory.

2. Copy this directory, preserving ownership and permissions, to the same location on the unmanaged node.

Step 3: Oozie-Specific configuration and setup

• Use the unmanaged node’s default package manager to install the Oozie client along with its dependencies:
  • For RHEL/CentOS:

    sudo yum install oozie-client

  • For Ubuntu/Debian:

    sudo apt-get install oozie-client

  • For SLES:

    sudo zypper install oozie-client
