Once the CDP Private Cloud Base environment has been deployed, it must be validated to ensure that it is configured correctly and performs successfully.
This chapter describes functional validation of multiple Cloudera services that Dell Technologies deployed as a part of the Cloudera CDP Private Cloud Base software stack. This testing begins with services health check up to ensure that all the Cloudera services are running in good health.
Dell Technologies has also tested integrating a Dell PowerScale storage array with Cloudera CDP Private Cloud Base 7.1.7. This platform provides Hadoop clients with direct access to big data through the HDFS interface. The Hadoop NameNode functionality that is integrated into PowerScale simplifies deploying and scaling of CDP Private Cloud Base. Dedicated NameNode servers are not required.
Testing also covers running sample workloads on various components of Cloudera CDP Private Cloud Base, including:
- HDFS
- Hive on Tez
- HBase
- Spark
- MapReduce
- Spark and Hive integration
- Hue
- Ranger
- Zeppelin
