Zookeeper Kerberos Installation

(Last Updated On: )

We are going to install Zookeeper. Ensure you install Kerberos.

This assumes your hostname is “hadoop”

Install Java JDK

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install default-jdk

Download Zookeeper:

wget http://apache.forsale.plus/zookeeper/zookeeper-3.4.13/zookeeper-3.4.13.tar.gz
tar -zxvf zookeeper-3.4.13.tar.gz
sudo mv zookeeper-3.4.13 /usr/local/zookeeper/
sudo chown -R root:hadoopuser /usr/local/zookeeper/

Setup .bashrc:

 sudo nano ~/.bashrc

Add the following to the end of the file.

#ZOOKEEPER VARIABLES START
export ZOOKEEPER_HOME=/usr/local/zookeeper
export PATH=$PATH:$ZOOKEEPER_HOME/bin
#ZOOKEEPER VARIABLES STOP

 source ~/.bashrc

Create Kerberos Principals

cd /etc/security/keytabs
sudo kadmin.local
addprinc -randkey zookeeper/hadoop@REALM.CA
xst -kt zookeeper.service.keytab zookeeper/hadoop@REALM.CA
q

Set Keytab Permissions/Ownership

sudo chown root:hadoopuser /etc/security/keytabs/*
sudo chmod 750 /etc/security/keytabs/*

zoo.cfg

cd /usr/local/zookeeper/conf/
cp zoo_sample.cfg zoo.cfg
nano zoo.cfg

# The number of milliseconds of each tick
tickTime=2000
# The number of ticks that the initial
# synchronization phase can take
initLimit=10
# The number of ticks that can pass between
# sending a request and getting an acknowledgement
syncLimit=5
# the directory where the snapshot is stored.
# do not use /tmp for storage, /tmp here is just
# example sakes.
dataDir=/usr/local/zookeeper/data
# the port at which the clients will connect
clientPort=2181
# the maximum number of client connections.
# increase this if you need to handle more clients
#maxClientCnxns=60
#
# Be sure to read the maintenance section of the
# administrator guide before turning on autopurge.
#
# http://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/current/zookeeperAdmin.html#sc_maintenance
#
# The number of snapshots to retain in dataDir
#autopurge.snapRetainCount=3

zkServer.sh

cd /usr/local/zookeeper/bin/
nano zkServer.sh
 
#Add the following at the top
 
export CLIENT_JVMFLAGS="-Djava.security.auth.login.config=/usr/local/zookeeper/conf/zookeeper_client_jaas.conf"
export SERVER_JVMFLAGS="-Xmx1024m -Djava.security.auth.login.config=/usr/local/zookeeper/conf/zookeeper_jaas.conf"

zkCli.sh

cd /usr/local/zookeeper/bin/
nano zkCli.sh
 
#Add the following at the top
 
export CLIENT_JVMFLAGS="-Djava.security.auth.login.config=/usr/local/zookeeper/conf/zookeeper_client_jaas.conf"
export SERVER_JVMFLAGS="-Xmx1024m -Djava.security.auth.login.config=/usr/local/zookeeper/conf/zookeeper_jaas.conf"

MkDir

mkdir /usr/local/zookeeper/data/
mkdir /usr/local/zookeeper/logs/
 
echo "1" > /usr/local/zookeeper/data/myid
 
sudo chown -R hduser:hduser /usr/local/zookeeper

Auto Start

crontab -e
 
#Add the following
@reboot /usr/local/zookeeper/bin/zkServer.sh start

Run Client

kinit -kt /etc/security/keytabs/zookeeper.service.keytab zookeeper/hadoop@REALM.CA
./zkCli.sh -server 127.0.0.1:2181
 
#Now you can list all directories
ls /
 
#Or delete directories
 
rmr /folder
