Installing Apache Kylin
- Now let’s download and install Apache Kylin by following the excellent instructions available on the Kylin site itself. Please follow the steps to install apache kylin(Apache Kylin Installation Guide).
- These instructions were written for version 2.1.0. So grab that tar (apache-kylin-2.1.0-bin-hbase1x.tar.gz) and checksum file (apache-kylin-2.1.0-bin-hbase1x.tar.gz.md5).
- If java is not there, install JDK first.
Enabling Ranger Kylin Plugins
a. We’ll start by extracting our Ranger plugin build at the appropriate place (/usr/local).
cd /usr/local sudo tar zxvf ~/ranger/target/ranger-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT-kylin-plugin.tar.gz sudo ln -s ranger-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT-kylin-plugin ranger-kylin-plugin cd ranger-kylin-plugin
b. Now let’s edit the install.properties file. Here are the relevant lines that you should edit
- Change the install.properties file
