Installing PostgreSQL

Note

PostgreSQL is supported from Unravel version 4.6.1.6

You can either use the Unravel bundled PostgreSQL or external PostgreSQL version 12.

Installing Unravel bundled PostgreSQL on Databricks

  1. Install Unravel. The Unravel bundled PostgreSQL is automatically installed.

  2. Run the following commands in the given sequence to set up and connect the bundled PostgresSQL:

    sudo /usr/local/unravel/bin/emdb_enable.sh
sudo /etc/init.d/unravel_all.sh restart.
Installing external PostgreSQL 12 on Databricks

  1. Download PostgreSQL 12.

    sudo yum install https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-7-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm

  2. Run the following commands to install:

    sudo yum install postgresql12-server
sudo /usr/pgsql-12/bin/postgresql-12-setup initdb
sudo systemctl start postgresql-12
sudo systemctl enable postgresql-12
Create or use the existing Databricks

Review the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Peering options to connect Databricks with the Unravel VM.

Workspace

VPC Peering Options

Workspace and Unravel VM are in the same VPC

-

Workspace VPC is in a different Region

Use VPC Peering:

Workspace VPC is in a different AWS account

Use VPC Peering:

Install the Unravel prerequisites on EC2 instance

Install the following Unravel prerequisites on EC2 instance:

  1. Install ntpd.

    sudo su -
yum install ntp
ntpd -u ntp:ntp

  2. Prepare the data disk. Set permissions for Unravel and symlink Unravel's directories to the /srv mount.

    mkdir -p /srv/local/unravel# chmod -R 755 /srv/local
ln -s /srv/local/unravel /usr/local/unravel
chmod 755 /usr/local/unravel

  3. Install MySQL if not done already.

    yum install mysql

  4. Install the Databricks File System (DBFS) command-line interface.

    sudo bash 
yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
yum install python-pip
pip install databricks-cli

    Note

    You can test the connectivity using the DBFS command-line interface. In case there are any errors, such as, Error: ValueError: Timeout value connect was Timeout, reinstall the DBFS command-line interface using Python virtualenv as follows:

    pip install databricks-cli 
yum install python3
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 mypy3
source mypy3/bin/activate# pip install databricks-cli
Install Unravel on EC2 Instance

  1. Download the latest RPM for Cloud.

  2. Install the RPM using the following command:

    sudo rpm -ivh cloud_rpm 2> /tmp/rpm-install-log.txt
Configure Unravel properties

  1. Edit /usr/local/unravel/etc/unravel.properties.

  2. Set the following properties:

    com.unraveldata.cluster.type=DB
com.unraveldata.tagging.enabled=true

    In case you do not find these properties, add it to the file.

Configure database
Configure Unravel with MySQL

  1. Using MySQL, create a database and user for Unravel. Enter MySQL admin login password when prompted:

    mysql> CREATE DATABASE unravel_mysql_prod;
mysql> CREATE USER '<Unravel database user>'@'MySQL server name' IDENTIFIED BY '<Unravel database password>';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON unravel_mysql_prod.* TO '<Unravel database user>'@'<MySQL server name>';

  2. Configure MySQL in /usr/local/unravel/etc/unravel.properties.

    unravel.jdbc.username=<Unravel database user>
unravel.jdbc.password=<Unravel database password>
unravel.jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://<MySQL Server name>:3306/unravel_mysql_prod
unravel.jdbc.url.params=useSSL=true&requireSSL=false

  3. Install MySQL JDBC connector driver in Unravel classpath.

    wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Connector-J/mysql-connector-java-5.1.47.tar.gz -O /tmp/mysql-connector-java-5.1.47.tar.gz

tar xvzf /tmp/mysql-connector-java-5.1.47.tar.gz
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/unravel/share/java
sudo cp /tmp/mysql-connector-java-5.1.47/mysql-connector-java-5.1.47.jar /usr/local/unravel/share/java
sudo chown unravel:unravel /usr/local/unravel/share/java/mysql-connector-java-5.1.47.jar

  4. Create database and tables for Unravel.

    /usr/local/unravel/dbin/db_schema_upgrade.sh
Configure Unravel with PostgreSQL

Note

PostgreSQL is supported from Unravel version 4.6.1.6

  1. Run psql and create a database and user for Unravel. Enter psql admin login password when prompted:

    sudo -u postgres psql
    create database unravel;
create user unravel with encrypted password 'unraveldata';
grant all privileges on database unravel to unravel;
ALTER USER unravel WITH SUPERUSER;
alter user unravel with createdb createrole inherit replication bypassrls;
grant connect on database unravel to unravel;
grant usage on schema public to unravel;
grant all privileges on all tables in schema public to unravel;
grant all privileges on all sequences in schema public to unravel;
alter default privileges in schema public grant all privileges on tables to unravel;
alter default privileges in schema public grant all privileges on sequences to unravel;
grant pg_read_server_files to unravel;
grant pg_write_server_files to unravel;
grant pg_execute_server_program to unravel;

  2. Allow user/server to connect to the database.

    • Option 1: If PostgreSQL is installed on the same server as Unravel, add the following line in /var/lib/pgsql/12/data/pg_hba.conf at the first line of IPv4 local connections:

      host    all             unravel         127.0.0.1/32            md5

    • Option 2: If PostgreSQL is installed on a different server, do the following:

      1. Add the following line in /var/lib/pgsql/12/data/pg_hba.conf:

        host    all             unravel            <Unravel Server Internal IP Address>/32            md5

      2. Update /var/lib/pgsql/12/data/postgresql.conf and ensure listen_addresses = '*' is set to allow PostgreSQL to listen to all the traffic.

  3. Add following properties in /usr/local/unravel/etc/unravel.properties:

    unravel.jdbc.username=unravel
unravel.jdbc.password=unraveldata
unravel.jdbc.url=jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1:5432/unravel

  4. Restart PostgreSQL.

    sudo systemctl restart postgresql-12.service

  5. Install PostgreSQL JDBC connector driver in Unravel classpath.

    sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/unravel/share/java
wget https://jdbc.postgresql.org/download/postgresql-42.2.18.jar -O /usr/local/unravel/share/java/postgresql-42.2.18.jar
sudo chown unravel:unravel /usr/local/unravel/share/java/postgresql-42.2.18.jar

  6. Test and update db schema.

    /usr/local/unravel/install_bin/db_access.sh*
/usr/local/unravel/dbin/db_schema_upgrade.sh
Configure Unravel with Workspace

  1. In Databricks, go to Workspace > Admin Console > Access Control and enable Personal Access tokens. See Enable token-based authentication.

  2. Go to Workspace> User Settings> Access Tokens and click Generate New Token. See Authenticate using Databricks personal access tokens. Choose the lifetime of the token as indefinite.

  3. Install Unravel agents on the Workspace and update the Unravel config with the Workspace details. refer to Running the Databricks_setup.sh script.

    Note

    Run the following commands only if the Databricks command-line is installed using Python virtualenv.

    sudo bash
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 mypy3
source mypy3/bin/activate

    /usr/local/unravel/install_bin/databricks_setup.sh --add-workspace -i <Workspace ID> -n <Workspace name> -t <Workspace token> -r https://<Workspace instance> -p <workspace_tier> -u <Unravel DNS or IP Address>:4043
Restart Unravel

  1. Restart all Unravel services

    service unravel_all.sh restart

  2. Using a supported web browser, (See compatibility matrix for AWS Databricks) navigate to http://unravel-host:3000 and log in with username admin with password unraveldata.
