How Metadata Manager Organizes Entities

The Cloudera Navigator metadata component contains a search-based user interface. However, Metadata Manager displays all objects in the metadata catalog in a hierarchy. Metadata Manager organizes entities in groups based on the entity type.

When you create and load a Cloudera Navigator resource, Metadata Manager creates a parent group in the metadata catalog for each entity type that it extracts from Cloudera Navigator. Metadata Manager places each entity that it extracts in the appropriate group.

The following table describes the entity types that appear in each parent group in the metadata catalog:

Group	Entity Types
ROOT	All HDFS directories and files arranged in a hierarchy. Each HDFS file appears below the directory in which it is located.
HDFS Datasets	All HDFS datasets arranged alphanumerically.
Hive Databases	All Hive databases arranged alphanumerically. Each Hive table appears within the database to which it belongs.
Hive Query Executions	Hive query executions arranged alphanumerically. Metadata Manager extracts the most recent instance of each Hive query execution. It does not extract older instances.
Hive Query Templates	Hive query templates arranged alphanumerically. Each template part appears below its parent template. By default, Metadata Manager extracts only Hive query templates that write data to new or existing tables. It does not extract Hive query templates that read data but do not write data.
Oozie Jobs	All Oozie job executions arranged alphanumerically. Because Cloudera Navigator does not generate unique names for Oozie job executions, Metadata Manager appends a time stamp to each Oozie job execution name.
Impala Query Executions	All Impala query executions arranged alphanumerically. Metadata Manager extracts the most recent instance of each Impala query execution. It does not extract older instances.
Impala Query Templates	All Impala query templates arranged alphanumerically. Each template part appears below its parent template. By default, Metadata Manager extracts only Impala query templates that write data to new or existing tables. It does not extract Impala query templates that read data but do not write data.
MapReduce Jobs	All MapReduce job executions arranged alphanumerically.
MapReduce Templates	All MapReduce job templates arranged alphanumerically.
Oozie Templates	All Oozie job templates arranged alphanumerically. Because Cloudera Navigator does not generate unique names for Oozie job templates, Metadata Manager appends the Cloudera identity to each Oozie job template name.
Pig Jobs	All Pig job executions arranged alphanumerically. Because multiple Pig job executions can have the same name, Metadata Manager appends a time stamp to each job execution name. Each Pig table appears below the corresponding Pig job execution.
Pig Templates	All Pig job templates arranged alphanumerically. Because multiple Pig job templates can have the same name, Metadata Manager appends the Cloudera identity to each job template name.
Sqoop Jobs	All Sqoop job executions arranged alphanumerically.
Sqoop Templates	All Sqoop job templates arranged alphanumerically.
YARN Jobs	All YARN job executions arranged alphanumerically.
YARN Templates	All YARN job templates arranged alphanumerically.

If the cluster contains no entities of a certain type, Metadata Manager does not create a parent group for that entity type. For example, if the cluster contains no Pig tables, Pig job templates, or Pig job executions, Metadata Manager does not create the Pig Jobs group or the Pig Templates group.
