- 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.

Moving CLDB Data

Describes how to move CLDB data to another node.

About this task

In a Community Edition-licensed cluster, CLDB data must be recovered from a failed CLDB node and installed on another node. The cluster can continue normally as soon as the CLDB is started on another node.

For more information, see CLDB Failover.

Use the maprcli dump zkinfo command to identify the latest epoch of the CLDB, identify the nodes where replicates of the CLDB are stored, and select one of those nodes to serve the new CLDB node. Perform the following steps on any cluster node:

Procedure

Log in as root or use sudo for the following commands.
Issue the maprcli dump zkinfo command using the -json flag.
# maprcli dump zkinfo -json

The output displays the ZooKeeper znodes.

In the /datacenter/controlnodes/cldb/epoch/1 directory, locate the CLDB with the latest epoch.

{ "/datacenter/controlnodes/cldb/epoch/1/KvStoreContainerInfo":" Container ID:1 VolumeId:1 Master:10.250.1.15:5660-172.16.122.1:5660-192.168.115.1:5660--13-VALID Servers: 10.250.1.15:5660-172.16.122.1:5660-192.168.115.1:5660--13-VALID Inactive Servers: Unused Servers: Latest epoch:13" }

The Latest Epoch field identifies the current epoch of the CLDB data. In this example, the latest epoch is 13.

Select a CLDB from among the copies at the latest epoch. For example, 10.250.2.41:5660--13-VALID indicates that the node has a copy at epoch 13 (the latest epoch).
