Adding a Cloudera Data Engineering service

Before you can use the Cloudera Data Engineering service, you must add the service to an environment that you want to use Cloudera Data Engineering on.

  • Make sure that the Cloudera Base on premises configuration is valid. If any configuration issues are present, resolve them first and refresh the configuration at the Cluster level using the Deploy Client Configuration action in Cloudera Manager.
  • In Cloudera Manager, make sure that Ozone is not in stale state. If it is in stale state, restart Ozone and make sure that there are no errors.
  • If Deny Audits is configured in the Ranger Policies, correct this within the Ranger Service Plugin for Ozone.
  • Make sure that you have a working environment for which you want to enable the Cloudera Data Engineering service. For more information about environments, see Environments.
  1. In the Cloudera console, click the Data Engineering tile. The Cloudera Data Engineering Home page displays.
  2. Click Administration on the left navigation menu, click at the top to enable Cloudera Data Engineering service for an environment.
    If the environment does not have any Cloudera Data Engineering service, the page displays a Enable a Service button that launches the same wizard.
  3. Enter a Name for the Cloudera Data Engineering service you are creating.
  4. In the Environment drop-down list, select or type the name of the environment that you want to enable Cloudera Data Engineering for. The displayed list dynamically updates to show environment names matching your input. When you see the correct environment, click on it to select it.
  5. In the Resource Pool drop-down list, select the name of the resource pool that you want to enable Cloudera Data Engineering service for.

    For information about configuring resource pool and capacity, see Managing cluster resources using Quota Management.

  6. In Capacity , enter the maximum number of CPU cores and the maximum memory in gigabytes that can be used by this Cloudera Data Engineering service.
  7. Optional: GPU (Technical Preview), in Capacity , enter the maximum number of GPU cores in gigabytes that can be used by this Cloudera Data Engineering service. GPU resources are limited in the cluster and all data services like Cloudera AI and Cloudera Data Engineering could share or dedicatedly set resource quotas for their experience. For information about configuring resource pool and capacity, see Managing cluster resources using Quota Management (Technical Preview).
  8. In Cloudera Data Engineering 1.5.5 SP2 and higher releases, in the Telemetry section, select the Enable Observability Analytics checkbox to share diagnostic information about jobs and queries with Cloudera.
    Prerequisite: To use Cloudera Observability SaaS with Cloudera Data Engineering, you must enable Telemetry Publisher and add the Altus Credentials on the Cloudera on premises base cluster. For more information, see Generating an API access key, Enabling the telemetry network communication for Cloudera Observability, and Adding and starting an instance of Telemetry Publisher.
  9. Optional: Under Additional Configurations, in NFS Storage Class, leave this field blank for Cloudera Data Engineering to use the default storage. By default, Cloudera Data Engineering uses CephFS provisioner in the OpenShift Container Platform and Longhorn provisioner in the Cloudera Embedded Container Service.
    If you want to use a custom NFS storage class, specify the name here. The storage provisioner must support ReadWriteMany access mode.

    Example,

    You can specify the name of the Portworx storage class specified during the Cloudera Data Services on premises installation to use the Portworx storage class. The storage provisioner must support ReadWriteMany access mode. You can obtain the name of the Portworx storage class from your cluster by running the kubectl get sc command. The Cloudera Data Engineering service and virtual clusters will now use the Portworx storage class instead of the default storage class of the platform.

    For more information, see Installing in the internet environment and Storage classes.

  10. Click Enable to initiate the Cloudera Data Engineering Service creation. This process takes approximately 20 minutes. Monitor the progress by checking the logs and refreshing them every 5 minutes. You can view logs for the service by clicking on the service vertical ellipsis (three dots) menu, and then clicking View Logs.
The Cloudera Data Engineering Service is enabled.
