@cestella Let me know if there's anythign to change or adjust that you see
in here. I'm not sure if you can get the raw version in GitHub like in Jira, so
ping me if this isn't grabbable in the current form and I'll get it to you
differently.
### [Migrate Geo Enrichment outside of
MySQL](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-283)
#### Description
As of 0.3.0, a MySQL database was used for storage and retrieval of GeoIP
information during enrichment.
As of 0.3.1, the MySQL database is removed in favor of using MaxMind's
binary GeoIP files and stored on HDFS
After initial setup, this change is transparent and existing enrichment
definitions will run as-is.
#### Migration
While new installs will not require any additional steps, in an existing
install a script must be run to retrieve and load the initial data.
The shell script `geo_enrichment_load.sh` will retrieve MaxMind GeoLite2
data and load data into HDFS, and update the configuration to point to this
data.
In most cases the following usage will grab the data appropriately:
```
$METRON_HOME/bin/geo_enrichment_load.sh -z <zk_server>:<zk_port>
```
Additional options, including changing the source file location (which can
be a file:// location if the GeoIP data is already downloaded), are available
with the
`-h` flag and are also detailed in the metron-data-management README.me
file.
One caveat is that this script will NOT update on disk config files. It is
recommended to retrieve the configuration using
```
$METRON_HOME/bin/zk_load_configs.sh -z <zk_server>:<zk_port> -m DUMP
```
The new config will be `geo.hdfs.file` in the global section of the
configuration. Append this key-value into the global.json in the config
directory. A PUSH is unnecessary
