Metadata Import in the Developer Tool
To import metadata from Hive, HBase, and Complex File sources, configure the Developer tool to get Kerberos credentials to access Hive, HBase and complex file metadata.
To configure the Developer tool for metadata import, complete the following steps:
- 1. Copy hive-site.xml from the machine on which the Data Integration Service runs to a Developer Tool client installation directory. hive-site.xml is located in the following directory:
<Informatica Installation Directory>/services/shared/hadoop/<Hadoop distribution version>/conf/.
Copy hive-site.xml to the following location:
<Informatica Installation Directory>\clients\hadoop\<Hadoop_distribution_version>\conf
- 2. Copy krb5.conf from <Informatica Installation Directory>/services/shared/security to C:/Windows.
- 3. Rename krb5.conf to krb5.ini.
- 4. In krb5.ini, verify the value of the forwardable option to determine how to use the kinit command. If forwardable=true, use the kinit command with the -f option. If forwardable=false, or if the option is not specified, use the kinit command without the -f option.
- 5. Run the command from the command prompt of the machine on which the Developer tool runs to generate the Kerberos credentials file. For example, run the following command: kinit joe/domain12345@MY-REALM.
Note: You can run the kinit utility from the following location:
<Informatica Installation Directory>\clients\java\bin\kinit.exe
- 6. Launch the Developer tool and import the Hive, HBase, and complex file sources.
