Teradata Plug-in for Eclipse

Details


The Teradata Plug-in for Eclipse is based on the Eclipse plug-in framework and Data Tools Platform (DTP). Teradata Plug-in for Eclipse enables Eclipse DTP to operate with the Teradata Database and value-added features.

► NOTE: This version requires Java Runtime Environment 1.8.

NOTE:Neon JEE Eclipse bundle is missing the EMF Client Platform (ECP) 1.9.0 packages. Before installing the Teradata Plug-in, you must:
     -  Install the EMF Client Platform 1.9.0 by going to the Eclipse Help menu, selecting Install New Software... and entering the EMF ECP 1.9.x Update Site: http://download.eclipse.org/ecp/releases/releases_19/.

Note: If you have the previous version of EMF ECP installed, you want to remove it from Eclipse before installing the new version.

To install the new version:

     -  Press the Add... button to add the location of the EMF ECP 1.9.0 Update Site (see image below).

     -  Choose this site and install the "ECP SDK 3.x" in the "All SDKs" category. Press Next to install EMF ECP.

     -  Before letting Eclipse restart to finish the installation, remove the file

            plugins\org.eclipse.emf.ecp.view.swt.layout_versionNumber.jar

     - To remove this plugin, locate your Eclipse directory, and delete plugins
               \org.eclipse.emf.ecp.view.swt.layout_<versionNumber>.jar

     -  Restart Eclipse, File>Restart

     -  Install Teradata Plug-in for Eclipse

To install the Teradata Plug-in for Eclipse via the Eclipse Update Site process, bring up Eclipse and run the Software Updates process.

  • From the main menu, select Help then Install New Software...
  • In the Work with field, select the Add... button.
  • Enter Teradata Update Site in the Name field and the Teradata Plug-in for Eclipse URL (http://downloads.teradata.com/download/cdn/tools/tdide/tdide-16.00.02.00/update) as the Location.
  • Click OK

 

  • Select all of the Teradata Plug-in for Eclipse features to install.
  • Click Next to proceed with the installation.

 

To install from a local Teradata Plug-in for Eclipse Update Site, download the zip file locally. Refer to the Installation Guide for further instructions on installing Teradata Plug-in for Eclipse.

Teradata Plug-in for Eclipse contains open source components. A package containing the source code and licenses for these components is also available above for download. This package does not contain proprietary Teradata source code.

Hadoop Configuration Support:
=============================
Teradata Studio provides an option to transfer data to and from Hadoop systems using its feature called the
Smart Loader for Hadoop. The Smart Loader for Hadoop uses the Teradata Connector for Hadoop (TDCH), which is
installed on the Hadoop node, to provide the data transfer to and from the Hadoop system. Teradata Studio
requires TDCH version 1.5.1. The following are the system requirements of TDCH 1.5.1:

    Supported Teradata Database versions:

        Teradata Database 14.00
        Teradata Database 14.10
        Teradata Database 15.00
    Teradata Database 15.10
        Teradata Database 16.00

    Supported Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) versions:

        HDP 2.3 (Hadoop 2.7.1, Hive 1.2.1, HBase 1.1.1)
        HDP 2.4 (Hadoop 2.7.1, Hive 1.2.1, HBase 1.1.2)
        HDP 2.5 (Hadoop 2.7.3, Hive 1.2.1, HBase 1.1.2)

    Supported Cloudera Hadoop (CDH) versions:
           CDH 5.4, 5.7, 5.8


Teradata Connector for Hadoop Setup:
====================================
The TDCH 1.5.1 must be installed and configured on the Hadoop system. Teradata Plugin for Eclipse's Smart Loader
for Hadoop uses Oozie to submit the data transfer workflow on the Hadoop System. Please follow these instructions
to configure the Hadoop System and create the Oozie workflow files.

1) If the script is not already on your Hadoop system, download and install the TDCH (version 1.5.1) onto your Hadoop system.
2) Navigate to the TDCH scripts folder in the TDCH install directory (default location: /usr/lib/tdch/1.5/scripts)
3) Execute the configureOozie.sh script as root user, providing the locations of your Hadoop services.
    
The usage of the configureOozie.sh script is as follows (this is all a single line):

    Usage: ./configureOozie.sh nn=nameNodeHost [nnHA=fs.default.value] [rm=resourceManagerHost] [oozie=oozieHost] [webhcat=webHCatalogHost] [webhdfs=webHDFSHost]
        [nnPort=nameNodePortNum] [rmPort=resourceManagerPortNum] [ooziePort=ooziePortNum] [webhcatPort=webhcatPortNum] [webhdfsPort=webhdfsPortNum]
        [hiveClientMetastorePort=hiveClientMetastorePortNum] [kerberosRealm=kerberosRealm] [hiveMetaStore=hiveMetaStoreHost]
        [hiveMetaStoreKerberosPrincipal=hiveMetaStoreKerberosPrincipal]

(The parameters are entered on a single line. The parameters surrounded by [ ] are optional. The “[“ and “]” are not part of the command.)
(Note: the Job Tracker in HDP 1.x is now the Resource Manager in HDP 2.x)

    nn - The Name Node host name (required)
    nnHA - If the name node is HA (High Availability), specify the fs.defaultFS value found in core-site.xml
    rm - The Resource Manager host name (uses nn parameter value if omitted)
    oozie - The Oozie host name (uses nn parameter value if omitted)
    webhcat - The WebHCatalog host name (uses nn parameter value if omitted)
    webhdfs - The WebHDFS host name (uses nn parameter value if omitted)
    nnPort - The Name node port number (8020 if omitted)
    rmPort - The Resource Manager port number (8050 if omitted)
    ooziePort - The Oozie port number (11000 if omitted)
    webhcatPort - The WebHCatalog port number (50111 if omitted)
    webhdfsPort - The WebHDFS port number (50070 if omitted)
    hiveClientMetastorePort - The URI port for hive client to connect to metastore server (9083 if omitted)
    kerberosRealm - name of the Kerberos realm
    hiveMetaStore - The Hive Metastore host name (uses nn paarameter value if omitted)
    hiveMetaStoreKerberosPrincipal - The service principal for the metastore thrift server (hive/_HOST if ommitted)

The port numbers are HDP’s defaults. So, if the system being set up has all the services
hosted on a single system on the default ports, only the nn parameter is needed.

The script will exit with an error message if the TDCH is not in its expected location.
Otherwise the script will display a message indicating the parameters values. A sample
message is as follows:

The following is the specification of the Hadoop services used by the Oozie workflows:
{
        "Distribution":"HDP",
        "DistributionVersion":"2.4",
        "TeradataConnectorForHadoopVersion":"1.5.1",
        "WebHCatalog":"hostname",
        "WebHCatalogPort":50111,
        "WebHDFS":"hostname",
        "WebHDFSPort":50070,
        "JobTracker":"hostname",
        "JobTrackerPort":8050,
        "NameNode":"hostname",
        "NameNodePort":8020,
        "NameNodeHA":"fs.defaultFS",
        "NameNodeHAConfigured":true,
        "Oozie":"hostname",
        "OoziePort":11000,
        "HiveClientMetastorePort":9083
        "HiveMetaStoreKerberosPrincipal":"hive/_HOST",
        "KerberosRealm":"",
        "HiveMetaStore":"hostname"
}

** You must also make sure the Teradata IDE/Studio client machine can access the Hadoop system services (hostnames and ports provided to configureOozie script).
Thus, you may need to add the Hadoop services host names and IP addresses to your host file or DNS service.


HORTONWORKS SELF_SIGNED CERTIFICATES:
=====================================

The certificate used by the Knox server needs to be added to the Java runtime's certificate store. You can save the certificate with a web browser.
For example, with Chrome, you can:
•    Enter the Knox server:port in the address bar. It will say that the connection is not private
•    Click Advanced, then click on the Proceed to site link
•    Click on the lock in the address bar and select Details
•    Click View certificate
•    Select the Details tab in the resulting dialog and click the Copy to file... button
•    In the resulting Certificate Export Wizard, save the certificate as Base-64 encoded

(Other browsers have similar methods to get to the Certificate Export Wizard)

Alternatively, on the Knox server, run the command:

     keytool -export -alias gateway-identity -rfc -file knox.crt -keystore <path to gateway.jks keystore (eg. /usr/lib/knox/data/security/keystore/gateway.jks)>

To install the certificate into your Java Runtime certificate store, run the command:
     %JDK_HOME%\bin\keytool.exe -importcert -alias "TDH240 Knox self-signed certificate" -file cert_location/<filename>.txt -keystore %JRE_HOME%\lib\security\cacerts
Where %JDK_HOME% is an environment variable with the location of a JDK and %JRE_HOME% is the location of the JRE used to run Studio.

The keytool.exe will ask for the password to the certificate store. It is “changeit” unless you’ve changed it
