About Release 7.6.1
This site contains documentation for HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric release 7.6.1, including installation, configuration, administration, and reference content, as well as content for the associated ecosystem components and drivers.
7.6.1 Installation
This section contains information about installing and upgrading HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric software. It also contains information about how to migrate data and applications from an Apache Hadoop cluster to a HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster.
7.6.1 Data Fabric
HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric is the industry-leading data platform for AI and analytics that solves enterprise business needs.
7.6.1 Administration
This section describes how to manage the nodes and services that make up a cluster.
- Administering Users and Clusters
  Lists topics that help manage a data-fabric cluster.
- Administering Nodes
  Provides a synopsis of managing nodes in a cluster.
- Administering Volumes
  This section provide information about how to organize and manage data using volumes, a unique feature of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric clusters.
- Administering Files and Directories
- Administering Tables
  Administration of the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database is done primarily via the command line (maprcli) or with the Managed Control System (MCS). Regardless of whether the HPE Ezmeral 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 Ezmeral Data Fabric Database administration is associated with tables, columns and column families, and table regions.
- Administering Streams
- Administering Data Fabric Gateways
  A HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric gateway mediates one-way communication between a source HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster and a destination cluster. You can replicate HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database tables (binary and JSON) and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams streams. HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric gateways also apply updates from JSON tables to their secondary indexes and propagate Change Data Capture (CDC) logs.
- Administering Services
- Monitoring the Cluster
  This section describes how to monitor the health and performance of a MapR cluster.
- Configuring Security
  Describes how to configure security and manage secure clusters.
- Managing Secure Clusters
  Provides procedures that will enable you to use MapR clusters securely.
- Administering the Data Access Gateway
  The HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Data Access Gateway is a service that acts as a proxy and gateway for translating requests between lightweight client applications and the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric cluster. This section describes considerations when upgrading the service, how to modify configuration settings, and how to administer and manage the service.
- Planning for High Availability
- Administrator's Reference
  This section contains in-depth reference information for the administrator.
  - maprcli and REST API Syntax
    This section provides information about the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric command API. Most commands can be run on the command-line interface (CLI), or by making REST requests programmatically or in a browser.
  - MinIO Client (mc) Commands
    Lists mc commands that you can use to perform operations, such as creating and editing buckets and accounts in HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Object Store.
  - Utilities
    Contains information about various scripts and utilities, that help setup, maintain, and monitor clusters.
  - Configuration Files
    This section contains reference information about various configuration files.

Compaction Skipped Large Container Volume Alarm

Compaction is skipped due to large container with garbage below the garbage threshold in the container.

Label for Alarm on MCS UI

Compaction Skipped Large Container

Text for Alarm on Log File

VOLUME_ALARM_COMPACTION_SKIPPED_LARGE_CONTAINER

Meaning

Compaction has been skipped for the container because container size is large, but the amount of garbage to be reclaimed from the container is not large enough. When the amount of garbage to reclaim is less than the value specified for mastgateway.ctc.opt.largenuminodes.threshmb (default is 2GB), compaction is skipped. Refer to Data Compaction and Recall Criteria for details on data compaction and recall criteria.

Compaction is skipped for some large containers having garbage beyond configured threshold. This happens when the value of the configuration variable, mastgateway.ctc.opt.largenuminodes.skipqualifiedctrs.enabled, is set to 1.

NOTE Refer to config for the detailed description of the configuration variables.

Resolution

Use one of the following ways as suitable.

Increase the garbage threshold high enough so that when compaction runs, the actual amount of garbage goes below this higher threshold. The variable, mastgateway.ctc.opt.largenuminodes.threshmb, represents the garbage threshold.
Run compaction manually with a lower overhead threshold. This causes compactor to free up more space. However, this option causes compaction to run longer. Default overhead threshold is 30%. Refer to Running the Compactor Using the CLI and REST API for details on running compaction manually.
The alarm goes away when compaction frees up enough space in the container. The alarm continues to display if the garbage in the container after compaction is above the garbage threshold.
