Instructions for installing a new or downloaded shim.

Before you start

Pentaho develops shims to support different Hadoop distributions.   Many The most popular shims are already included with the software , but new shims must sometimes be downloaded and installed manually.Note: Before you complete the tasks on this pageand the rest are available for download. The downloaded shims need to be installed manually. These instructions assume that you have already downloaded the shim you wish to install. If you have not, or don't understand what any of this means, you should read Configuring Pentaho for your Hadoop Distro and Version That page explains what a shim is and explains where to get the shim you want.

Not all shims are distributed with Pentaho Software. If the shim that your cluster requires is not included you'll need to follow these instructions to install the shim. You need to install the shim for each Pentaho application from which you want to access the cluster.

Pentaho applications include the (Pentaho Suite Version 5.1).

Installation steps

These steps apply to installing a shim into the DI and BA Servers as well as the design tools such as Spoon, Report Designer, and Metadata Editor.

  1. Stop the application (e.g. Spoon, DI Server, Report Design, BA Server, Metadata Editor) if it is running.
  2. Copy the shim .zip file that you downloaded in Configuring Pentaho for your Hadoop Distro and Version#GetShim, to the hadoop-configurations folder. This folder is different for each application and located:
    • DI Server - data-integration-server/pentaho-solutions/system/kettle/plugins/pentaho-big-data-plugin/hadoop-configurations
    • Spoon - data-integration/plugins/pentaho-big-data-plugin/hadoop-configurations
    • BA Server - biserver-ee/pentaho-solutions/system/kettle/plugins/pentaho-big-data-plugin/hadoop-configurations
    • Pentaho Report Designer - report-designer/plugins/pentaho-big-data-plugin/hadoop-configurations
    • Metadata Editor - metadata-editor/plugins/pentaho-big-data-plugin/hadoop-configurations
  3. Unzip the new shim. It should create a directory that is the name of the shim. For example, cdh42.zip should create a directory named cdh42. Do not rename the directory.
