Prerequisites

For your data source and target

• You have the two S3 buckets and their paths as source and destination for the data movement.

• You have performed one of the following to configure access to S3 buckets:

  • You have configured access to S3 buckets with a RAZ enabled environment.

    It is a best practice to enable RAZ to control access to your object store buckets. This allows you to use your Cloudera credentials to access S3 buckets, increases auditability, and makes object store data ingest workflows portable across cloud providers.

    1. Ensure that Fine-grained access control is enabled for your Cloudera DataFlow environment.
    2. From the Ranger UI, navigate to the S3 repository.
    3. Create a policy to govern access to the S3 bucket and path used in your ingest workflow.
    4. Add the machine user that you have created for your ingest workflow to the policy you just created.

    For more information, see Creating Ranger policy to use in RAZ-enabled AWS environment.

  • You have configured access to S3 buckets using ID Broker mapping.

    If your environment is not RAZ-enabled, you can configure access to S3 buckets using ID Broker mapping.

    1. Access IDBroker mappings.
       1. To access IDBroker mappings in your environment, click Actions > Manage Access.
       2. Choose the IDBroker Mappings tab where you can provide mappings for users or groups and click Edit.
    2. Add your Cloudera Workload User and the corresponding AWS role that provides write access to your folder in your S3 bucket to the Current Mappings section by clicking the blue + sign.
    3. Click Save and Sync.

• Create an ID Broker Mapping for the Cloudera Workload User and the IAM role that you want to use in the SQS access policy.

  1. Access IDBroker mappings.
     1. To access IDBroker mappings in your environment, click Actions > Manage Access.
     2. Choose the IDBroker Mappings tab where you can provide mappings for users or groups and click Edit.
  2. Add your Cloudera Workload User and the corresponding AWS role that provides access to the SQS Queue.
  3. Click Save and Sync.

• You have configured your Simple Queue Service URL for S3 bucket notifications.

  For detailed instructions, see Walkthrough: Configuring a bucket for notifications (SNS topic or SQS queue)

• You have created a Streams Messaging cluster in Cloudera Public Cloud to host your Schema Registry.

  For information on how to create a Streams Messaging cluster, see Setting up your Streams Messaging Cluster.

• You have created a schema for your data and have uploaded it to the Schema Registry in the Streams Messaging cluster.

  For information on how to create a new schema, see Creating a new schemaCreating a new schema. For example:

  
  {
     "type":"record",
     "name":"SensorReading",
     "namespace":"com.cloudera.example",
     "doc":"This is a sample sensor reading",
     "fields":[
        {
           "name":"sensor_id",
           "doc":"Sensor identification number.",
           "type":"int"
        },
        {
           "name":"sensor_ts",
           "doc":"Timestamp of the collected readings.",
           "type":"long"
        },
        {
           "name":"sensor_0",
           "doc":"Reading #0.",
           "type":"int"
        },
        {
           "name":"sensor_1",
           "doc":"Reading #1.",
           "type":"int"
        },
        {
           "name":"sensor_2",
           "doc":"Reading #2.",
           "type":"int"
        },
        {
           "name":"sensor_3",
           "doc":"Reading #3.",
           "type":"int"
        }
     ]
  }
  

• You have the Schema Registry Host Name.

  1. From the Management Console, go to Data Hub Clusters and select the Streams Messaging cluster you are using.
  2. Navigate to the Hardware tab to locate the Master Node FQDN. Schema Registry is always running on the Master node, so copy the Master node FQDN.

• You have assigned the Cloudera Workload User read-access to the schema.

  1. Navigate to Management Console > Environments, and select the environment where you have created your cluster.
  2. Select Ranger. You are redirected to the Ranger Service Manager page.
  3. Select your Streams Messaging cluster under the Schema Registry folder.
  4. Click Add New Policy.
  5. On the Create Policy page, give the policy a name, specify the schema details, add the user, and assign the Read permission.

For Cloudera DataFlow

• You have enabled Cloudera DataFlow for an environment.

  For information on how to enable Cloudera DataFlow for an environment, see Enabling Cloudera DataFlow for an Environment.

• You have created a Machine User to use as the Cloudera Workload User.

• You have given the Cloudera Workload User the EnvironmentUser role.
  1. From the Management Console, go to the environment for which Cloudera DataFlow is enabled.
  2. From the Actions drop down, click Manage Access.
  3. Identify the user you want to use as a Workload User.
  4. Give that user EnvironmentUser role.

• You have synchronized your user to the Cloudera Public Cloud environment that you enabled for Cloudera DataFlow.
