Connection tab

From the Connection tab, define all the connection details for the Hadoop host.

Note: Before you can connect to an Apache HBase or HDFS data store, upload the relevant client JAR files into the application container with Pega Platform. For more information, see HDFS and HBase client and server versions supported by Pega Platform.
  1. In the Connection section, specify a master Hadoop host. This host must contain HDFS NameNode and HBase master node.
  2. Optional: To configure settings for HDFS connection, select the Use HDFS configuration check box.
  3. Optional: To configure settings for HBase connection, select the Use HBase configuration check box.
Note: The Connection tab may include additional settings for enabling external data flows on the Hadoop record. These fields are hidden from the user interface by default, and can be made available through a dynamic system setting. External data flows are deprecated and no longer officially supported. For more information, see:

The use of the Hadoop infrastructure lets you process large amounts of data directly on the Hadoop cluster and reduce the data transfer between the Hadoop cluster and the Pega Platform.
