Installing HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams C Client

The HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams C Client is a distribution of librdkafka that works with HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams.

Installation

As of MapR 6.0.1, the MapR C client is installed as part of the MapR Core installation and the mapr-client package installation. The MapR C client is available on Linux, Mac, and Windows operating systems.
NOTE
Specific installation is not required as of MapR 6.0.1!
For MapR 5.2.1 through MapR 6.0.0, the MapR C client must be installed. The MapR C client is available on Linux and Mac operating systems. As root or using sudo, install the mapr-librdkafka package on nodes where you want to run or build applications.
  • On Ubuntu:
    apt-get install mapr-librdkafka
  • On RedHat/CentOS:
    yum install mapr-librdkafka
  • On SLES:
    zypper install mapr-librdkafka
  • On Mac OS:
    1. Download the following TAR file: https://package.ezmeral.hpe.com/releases/MEP/<MEP version>/<operating system>/<package>.tar.gz
    2. Extract the TAR file under /opt/mapr:
      tar -C /opt/mapr/ -zxf <librdkafka_tarFile_location>
NOTE
The mapr-librdkafka package pulls in the mapr-client as a dependency if the node does not have the mapr-client or mapr-core package installed.
