Subject: Re: Question regarding postgresql pre-requisite


Hello.

Indeed I wanted to use postgresql because I am already using postgresql for 
other components like hive, oozie and ambari.

I prefer to have not too many technologies in my cluster. I plan on using 
postgresql 9.3.5 because this is already the version I am using.

For auditing, is it ok to store the data in the hdfs on the audited cluster ?

Best regards.

Which database are you planing to use? If it is MySQL or others, then you don't 
need postgresql. Probably Ranger team needs to update the document to make sure 
users don't assume that postgres is pre-requisite.

If you are starting fresh and don't have any specific preference for database, 
then I would suggest to use MySQL. It is easy to start and widely used in the 
Ranger community. Saying, I don't think Postgress shouldn't be an issue. But I 
have not used it. So someone else will have to answer your questions regarding 
versions supported.

For storing auditing, I would strongly recommend Solr and HDFS. HDFS for long 
term archival and Solr real-time querying.

Thanks

Bosco

Subject: Fwd: Question regarding postgresql pre-requisite

Hello everyone.

I sent this mail regarding to the postgresql pre-requisites in the 
documentation.
Here is the concerned part :
RDBMS

MySQL 5.7+

Oracle - latest

Postgres - latest

SQL Server - latest

  1.  Storing policies
  2.  Storing Ranger Users and Groups
  3.  Storing Audit Logs (Optional)

My questions are the following :

Q1 - I don't have the latest postgresql version on the server hosting the 
postgresql server and database. I have postgresql 9.3.5. Will I encounter 
problem ?

Q2 - The postgresql database will be hosted on another host than the one 
hosting ranger components. I read this is possible from Ranger 0.5.0. Mayyou 
just confirm this please ?

Best regards.

Lune
