You can create an operational database in your registered environment using Cloudera
Operational Database (COD).
Required role: You must be logged into the COD as an
ODAdmin.
Understand CDP environment and user management. For more information, see
User Management and CDP Environments
topics.
Set up an environment that gives you credential and cloud storage.
Ensure you are authorized to create a database.
In the COD web interface, click Create Database.
Select the environment from the list in which you want to have the
database.
Provide a name for the database in the Database Name
field.
Select the storage type as Cloud Storage or
HDFS.
The storage type HDFS is equivalent to using
--use-hdfs option on CDP CLI while creating an
operational database.
The storage type Cloud Storage, which resembles
block storage, is equivalent to using --no-use-hdfs
option on CDP CLI while creating an operational database.
By default, Cloud Storage is selected.
Define a scale for your database using a predefined Data Lake template.
The template helps you to structure your database automatically thereby saving
your time and cost. COD creates the predefined number of LITE or HEAVY gateway
and master nodes, a set of worker nodes, and also adds additional functionalists
into the new database. In case you need to modify the default number of nodes
defined in the template, you can do so after the database creation.
The
available templates are Light Duty and
Medium Duty. By default, Light
Duty is selected.
Click Create Database.
Information page is displayed that shows the status of the database. Your new
database is ready to be used once its status becomes Available.
