Creating a tenant-specific Virtual Warehouse

You follow a step-by-step procedure to create a Virtual Warehouse based on the Database Catalog and SDX Data Lake you created in the RAZ-enabled environment.

The Database Catalog and Data Lake point to the same backend database. In the tenant-specific Virtual Warehouse, you create a tenant-specific Hive or Impala database that points to tenant-specific buckets. As the metadata is shared across all tenants, Ranger grants access to tenant data at the table level. One or more tenant-specific databases alongside databases for shared data can run in the same HMS instance.

Repeat the following steps for each tenant.

In the Cloudera Data Warehouse service, click Virtual Warehouses > New Virtual Warehouse.
Specify a name, select either the Hive or Impala type, and select the Database Catalog you created for the tenant.
In Overview, find your Virtual Warehouse, click Hue.
Create a tenant-specific Hive or Impala database where the location for external and managed tables are pointing to the tenant-specific buckets.
```
CREATE (DATABASE|SCHEMA) [IF NOT EXISTS] database_name
[COMMENT database_comment]
[LOCATION external_table_path]
[MANAGEDLOCATION managed_table_directory_path]
[WITH DBPROPERTIES (property_name=property_value, ...)];                   
```
Do not set LOCATION and MANAGEDLOCATION to the same path. For more information, see Create a default directory for managed tables.
In Ranger, grant the tenant users access to the tenant-specific Hive or Impala database.
