Cloudera Navigator Connection Properties

Cloudera Navigator Connection Properties

Configure the connection properties when you create or edit a Cloudera Navigator resource.
The following table describes the connection properties:
Property
Description
User name
Name of the user account used to connect to Cloudera Navigator.
Password
Password for the user account used to connect to Cloudera Navigator.
Cloudera Navigator URL
URL of the Cloudera Navigator Metadata Server.
Trust Store
Optional. Path and file name of the truststore file for the Cloudera Navigator SSL instance. The file should be accessible to Metadata Manager Service.
If you do not specify the truststore file information and the target Cloudera Navigator server is HTTPS enabled, the Cloudera Navigator Xconnect can accept any server certificate.
Password of trust store
Optional. Password for the truststore file.
Enable filtering
Enables filtering for Hive and Impala query templates that have no downstream data flow. By default, Metadata Manager does not extract Hive or Impala query templates that read data but do not write data.
If you enable this option, Metadata Manager extracts only the query templates that create new entities or write to existing entities. If you disable this option, Metadata Manager extracts all Hive and Impala query templates. Default is enabled.
Enable incremental load
Enables incremental loading for Cloudera Navigator resources after the first successful resource load. When you enable this option, Metadata Manager loads recent changes to the metadata instead of loading complete metadata.
During an incremental load, Metadata Manager extracts only the following entities:
  • HDFS entities that were created or changed after the previous resource load
  • Pig tables that were created or changed after the previous resource load
  • All Hive tables, views, and partitions
  • Operation executions that were created after the previous resource load
  • All templates related to the new operation executions
Default is disabled.
Search query
Query that limits the entities that Metadata Manager extracts. By default, Metadata Manager does not extract HDFS entities from certain directories that contain only canary files, log files, history files, or deleted files.
To prevent Metadata Manager from extracting other entities, update the default search query. The query that you enter must use valid Cloudera Navigator search syntax. To include all entities in the metadata load, enter
*
, or delete the default query and leave this property blank.
Default is:
NOT ((fileSystemPath:*\/.cloudera_manager_hive_metastore_canary*) OR (fileSystemPath:\/hbase\/oldWALs*) OR (fileSystemPath:\/hbase\/WALs*) OR (fileSystemPath:\/tmp\/logs*) OR (fileSystemPath:\/user\/history\/done*) OR (fileSystemPath:\/tmp\/hive-cloudera*) OR (fileSystemPath:\/tmp\/hive-hive*) OR (fileSystemPath:*\/.Trash*))
