Enabling Cross-Cluster Copy¶
Scenario¶
DistCp is used to copy the data stored on HDFS from a cluster to another cluster. DistCp depends on the cross-cluster copy function, which is disabled by default. This function needs to be enabled in both clusters.
This section describes how to enable cross-cluster copy.
Impact on the System¶
Yarn needs to be restarted to enable the cross-cluster copy function and cannot be accessed during the restart.
Prerequisites¶
The hadoop.rpc.protection parameter of the two HDFS clusters must be set to the same data transmission mode, which can be privacy (encryption enabled) or authentication (encryption disabled).
Note
Go to the All Configurations page by referring to Modifying Cluster Service Configuration Parameters and search for hadoop.rpc.protection.
Procedure¶
Go to the All Configurations page of the Yarn service. For details, see Modifying Cluster Service Configuration Parameters.
Note
If the Components tab is not displayed on the cluster details page, complete IAM user synchronization first. (In the Dashboard area of the cluster details page, click Click to synchronize on the right of IAM User Sync to synchronize IAM users.)
In the navigation pane, choose Yarn > Distcp.
Set haclusterX.remotenn1 of dfs.namenode.rpc-address to the service IP address and RPC port number of one NameNode instance of the peer cluster, and set haclusterX.remotenn2 to the service IP address and RPC port number of the other NameNode instance of the peer cluster. Enter a value in the IP address:port format.
Note
For MRS 1.9.2 or later, log in to the MRS console, click the cluster name, and choose Components > HDFS > Instances to obtain the service IP address of the NameNode instance.
You can also log in to FusionInsight Manager, and choose Cluster > Name of the desired cluster > Services > HDFS > Instance to obtain the service IP address of the NameNode instance.
dfs.namenode.rpc-address.haclusterX.remotenn1 and dfs.namenode.rpc-address.haclusterX.remotenn2 do not distinguish active and standby NameNode instances. The default NameNode RPC port is 9820 and cannot be modified on MRS Manager.
For example, 10.1.1.1:9820 and 10.1.1.2:9820.
Save the configuration. On the Dashboard tab page, and choose More > Restart Service to restart the Yarn service.
Operation succeeded is displayed. Click Finish. The Yarn service is started successfully.
Log in to the other cluster and repeat the preceding operations.
