About Release 8.0.0
This site contains documentation for HPE Data Fabric release 8.0.0, including installation, configuration, administration, and reference content, as well as content for the associated ecosystem components and drivers.
8.0.0 Installation
This section contains information about installing HPE 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.
8.0.0 Upgrade
This section describes how to upgrade HPE Data Fabric software.
8.0.0 Data Fabric
HPE Data Fabric is the industry-leading data platform for AI and analytics that solves enterprise business needs.
8.0.0 Administration
This section describes how to manage the nodes and services that make up a cluster.
- Working with Multiple Fabrics Using the Data Fabric UI
  This section describes how you can get started learning about, installing, and using the HPE Data Fabric.
- 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 Data Fabric clusters.
- Administering Files and Directories
- Administering Tables
  Administration of the HPE Data Fabric Database is done primarily via the command line (maprcli) or with the Managed Control System (MCS). Regardless of whether the HPE 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 Data Fabric Database administration is associated with tables, columns and column families, and table regions.
- Administering Streams
- Administering Data Fabric Gateways
  A HPE Data Fabric gateway mediates one-way communication between a source HPE Data Fabric cluster and a destination cluster. You can replicate HPE Data Fabric Database tables (binary and JSON) and HPE Data Fabric Streams streams. HPE 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 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 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
  - CLDB Failover
    Explains the concept of CLDB failover, and its advantages.

Configuring Maximum Attempts for Applications

Describes how to set the maximum number of restart attempts for all applications run by the Data Fabric ResourceManager and the ApplicationMaster.

About this task

When an ApplicationMaster fails, the ResourceManager restarts the ApplicationMaster as long as the number of restart attempts does not exceed the max-attempt values set at the ResourceManager and ApplicationMaster level . By default, the maximum attempt value is set to 2.

Procedure

To configure the maximum number of ApplicationMaster attempt retries for all applications run by the ResourceManager:
Set the value of yarn.resourcemanager.am.max-attempts in the yarn-site.xml file. The value defaults to 2.
To configure the number of ApplicationMaster attempts allowed for the MapReduce ApplicationMaster:
Set the value of mapreduce.am.max-attempts in the mapred-site.xml file. The value defaults to 2.
