Should the Falcon Prism be installed on separate machine than the existing clusters?


I am trying to understand setup for a Falcon Distributed Cluster.

I am having Cluster A and Cluster B, both with their Falcon Servers (and namenode, oozie, hive etc.). Now, to install the Prism, what would be the best idea? Shall I install it on one of the clusters (different node than falcon server) or on a different machine? If Prism is set on a third cluster (single node) should it have the components like namenode, oozie etc. running too?


Solution

  • Prism will have a config store where the entities are stored. The configstore will typically be on hdfs and hence needs hadoop client.
    So, yes the third cluster would need hdfs, namenode etc. Oozie is not necessary.
