About Release 7.9.0
This site contains documentation for HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric release 7.9.0, including installation, configuration, administration, and reference content, as well as content for the associated ecosystem components and drivers.
7.9.0 Installation
This section contains information about installing and upgrading HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric software. It also contains information about how to migrate data and applications from an Apache Hadoop cluster to a HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster.
7.9.0 Data Fabric
HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric is the industry-leading data platform for AI and analytics that solves enterprise business needs.
7.9.0 Administration
This section describes how to manage the nodes and services that make up a cluster.
- Administering Users and Clusters
  Lists topics that help manage a data-fabric cluster.
- Administering Nodes
  Provides a synopsis of managing nodes in a cluster.
- Administering Volumes
  This section provide information about how to organize and manage data using volumes, a unique feature of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric clusters.
- Administering Files and Directories
- Administering Tables
  Administration of the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database is done primarily via the command line (maprcli) or with the Managed Control System (MCS). Regardless of whether the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database table is used for binary files or JSON documents, the same types of commands are used with slightly different parameter options. HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database administration is associated with tables, columns and column families, and table regions.
  - Managing Tables
    HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database supports two types of table: binary tables and JSON tables. This section covers how to create, edit, and delete tables, as well as how to set parameter values, display parameter values, grant permissions and access, replicate tables, and more using the Control System and the CLI.
  - Managing Column Families and Columns
    This section covers overviews of column families in binary tables and JSON tables, how to create column families, alter them, delete them, set permissions on them, and set and display parameter values.
  - Managing Column Family Fields and Field Permissions for JSON Tables
    This sections covers details for working with column family fields. Column family fields can be added to any existing JSON table, and column families comprise optional fields.
  - Managing Table Replication
    This section contains topics about setting up table replication and administering existing replicas.
  - Managing Secondary Indexes
    Describes how to manage secondary indexes, including adding, deleting, and listing indexes, setting up your cluster for querying, and troubleshooting index usage.
    - Preparing Clusters for Querying using Secondary Indexes on JSON Tables
      Describes the tasks needed to prepare your environment so you can query HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON tables using secondary indexes.
    - Adding Secondary Indexes on JSON Tables
      Describes how to add secondary indexes on HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON tables.
    - Troubleshooting Secondary Indexes
      Describes how to debug and troubleshoot usage of secondary indexes.
    - Listing Secondary Indexes
      Describes how to list information about the secondary indexes created on HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database JSON tables.
    - Removing Secondary Indexes on JSON Tables
      Describes how to remove secondary indexes that are no longer needed.
  - Administering Change Data Capture
    This topic covers the Control System and maprcli tools for managing the Change Data Capture (CDC) feature.
  - Indexing HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database Binary Tables with Elasticsearch
    As of with MapR 6.0, HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database Elastic Search integration capability is deprecated and no longer available in the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database product.
- Administering Streams
- Administering Data Fabric Gateways
  A HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric gateway mediates one-way communication between a source HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster and a destination cluster. You can replicate HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database tables (binary and JSON) and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams streams. HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric gateways also apply updates from JSON tables to their secondary indexes and propagate Change Data Capture (CDC) logs.
- Administering Services
- Monitoring the Cluster
  This section describes how to monitor the health and performance of a MapR cluster.
- Configuring Security
  Describes how to configure security and manage secure clusters.
- Managing Secure Clusters
  Provides procedures that will enable you to use Data Fabric clusters securely.
- Administering the Data Access Gateway
  The HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Data Access Gateway is a service that acts as a proxy and gateway for translating requests between lightweight client applications and the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster. This section describes considerations when upgrading the service, how to modify configuration settings, and how to administer and manage the service.
- Planning for High Availability
- Administrator's Reference
  This section contains in-depth reference information for the administrator.
- Troubleshooting Cluster Administration
  Lists the common errors and their solutions.
- Best Practices for Backing Up HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Information
  Lists the best practices and performance considerations to follow when backing up HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric information.
- IPv6 Support in Data Fabric
  Describes the IPv6 support feature for Data Fabric.
7.9.0 Development
This section contains information related to application development for Ezmeral ecosystem components and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric products, including the file system, Database (Key-Value and JSON), and Event Streams.
Other Docs
This section contains release-independent information, including: Installer documentation, Ecosystem release notes, interoperability matrices, security vulnerabilities, and links to other data-fabric version documentation.

Removing Secondary Indexes on JSON Tables

Describes how to remove secondary indexes that are no longer needed.

About this task

You can remove secondary indexes using the Control System or the maprcli table index commands. You need the following permissions.

readAce on the volume
lookupdir on directories in the table path
indexperm permission on the table, if you did not create the table

NOTE

The mapr user is not treated as a superuser. HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database does not allow the mapr user to perform this operation unless that user is given the relevant permission or permissions with access-control expressions.

Removing Indexes Using the Control System

Procedure

Log in to the Control System and go to the Indexes tab in the table information page.
Select the indexes to remove and click Remove Index.
The Remove Index confirmation window displays.
Review the index(es) to remove and click Remove Index.

Removing Indexes Using the CLI

About this task

The following is the basic command for removing a secondary index on a JSON table.

maprcli table index remove 
  -path <path>
  -index <index name>

See table index remove for more information.
