NetBackup™ for Hadoop Administrator's Guide

The backup hosts use the hadoop.conf file to save the configuration settings of the Hadoop plug-in. You need to create a separate file for each backup host and copy it to the /usr/openv/var/global/. You need to manually create the hadoop.conf file in JSON format. This file is not available by default with the installer.

Following is an example of the hadoop.conf file.

  {
   "application_servers":
   {
    "hostname_of_the_primary_namenode":

     [
      {
       "hostname":"hostname_of_failover_namenode",
       "port":port_of_the_failover_namenode
      }
     ],
     "port":port_of_the_primary_namenode
    }
