Prepare to create Hive ACID table replication policies

Before you create a Hive ACID table replication policy, you must prepare the clusters for replication.

Replication Manager requires a valid license. To understand more about Cloudera license requirements, see Managing Licenses.
Minimum required role - Replication Administrator or Full Administrator.
Before you create replication policies, ensure that the source cluster and target cluster are supported by Replication Manager. For information about supported clusters and supported replication scenarios by Replication Manager, see Support matrix for CDP Private Cloud Base Replication Manager.

To perform Hive ACID table replication using Replication Manager, Cloudera Manager Server must manage the target cluster. You can use the same server or a peer Cloudera Manager Server to manage the source cluster. Hive ACID table replication policies use Hive scheduler to schedule the frequency of replication policy job runs.

Set up a two-way trust between the CDP Private Cloud Base clusters. For more information, see Configure two-way trust between clusters
Configure a peer relationship only if the source cluster is managed by a different Cloudera Manager server than the target cluster. For more information, see Configuring a peer relationship.

Configure the hive.repl.cm.enabled=true key-value pair on the source cluster for the following services to turn on the ChangeManager:


Service	Action
`Hive-on-Tez` For example, Hive-on-Tez-1	On the Configuration tab, search for Hive Service Advanced Configuration Snippet (Safety Valve) for hive-site.xml property and set the key-value pair
`Hive` For example, Hive-1	On the Configuration tab, search for Hive Service Advanced Configuration Snippet (Safety Valve) for hive-site.xml property and set the key-value pair.
`Hive` For example, Hive-1	On the Configuration tab, search for Enable ChangeManager for Hive replication parameter and select it.

Configure Hive configuration parameters for Hive ACID tables. For more information, see Mandatory Hive configuration parameters for Hive ACID table replication policies.
Optionally, to optimize the replication policy performance, you can configure the parameters in Recommended Hive configuration parameters for Hive ACID table replication policies and Parameters to optimize Hive ACID table replication performance as necessary.
Enable the Hive ACID table replication feature flag on the source and target cluster.
