Akubra (https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/AKUBRA/Akubra+Project) is a file system abstraction layer which is used by fedora-commons (http://fedora-commons.org/)

This implementation enables fedora-commons to use a Hadoop filesystem (http://hadoop.apache.org/) as an underlying object and datastream storage.

akubra-hdfs is still in an early development state and in no way ready for production use!

• A cache feature has been added. The interface can be configured to cache specfic locations in HDFS to the local filesystem.
• Hadoop configurations are loaded from core-site.xml and hdfs-site.xml files in /etc/hadoop directory.
• Akubra-HDFS can connect to Kerberos secured Hadoop cluster.

Copy the following dependencies to your fedora webapp's WEB-INF/lib directory:

• akubra-hdfs-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar (can be found in target/ after building the project)
• hadoop-core-1.0.3.jar from $HADOOP_HOME/
• hadoop-client-1.0.3.jar from $HADOOP_HOME/
• commons-configuration-1.6.jar from $HADOOP_HOME/lib/
• commons-lang-2.4.jar from $HADOOP_HOME/lib/

Open the file $FEDORA_HOME/server/config/akubra-llstore.xml and edit the two beans fsObjectStore and fsDataStreamStore to use the class de.fiz.akubra.hdfs.HDFSBlobStore and the two beans fsObjectStoreMapper and fsDatastreamStoreMapper to be of class de.fiz.akubra.hdfs.HDFSIdMapper

<bean name="fsObjectStore" class="de.fiz.akubra.hdfs.HDFSBlobStore" singleton="true">
	<constructor-arg value="hdfs://localhost:9000/fedora/objects"/>
</bean>
<bean name="fsObjectStoreMapper" class="de.fiz.akubra.hdfs.HDFSIdMapper" singleton="true">
	<constructor-arg ref="fsObjectStore"/>
</bean>

<bean name="fsDatastreamStore" class="de.fiz.akubra.hdfs.HDFSBlobStore" singleton="true">
	<constructor-arg value="hdfs://localhost:9000/fedora/datastreams"/>
</bean>
<bean name="fsDatastreamStoreMapper" class="de.fiz.akubra.hdfs.HDFSIdMapper" singleton="true">
	<constructor-arg ref="fsDatastreamStore"/>
</bean>

For using the cached version - checkout the 'develop' branch

<bean name="fsDatastreamStore"
    class="de.fiz.akubra.hdfs.CachedHDFSBlobStore"
    singleton="true">
	<!-- HDFS Namenode: Fedora Base URI -->
	<constructor-arg index="0" value="hdfs://192.168.56.107:9000/fedorads/"/>
	<!-- Local cache location -->
	<constructor-arg index="1" value="/apps/fedora/hdfs/cache"/>
	<!-- Pattern to cache (All file paths that end with the below specified value will be cached.) -->
	<constructor-arg index="2" value="TN/TN.0"/>
</bean>

Add core-site.xml and hdfs-site.xml configuration files to /etc/hadoop

For kerberos enabled Hadoop clusters, the below configuration needs to be added to the hdfs-site.xml file.

<property>
	<name>akubra.hdfs.kerberos.principal</name>
	<value>fedora@YOUR-REALM</value> <!-- Kerberos principal. -->
</property>
<property>
	<name>akubra.hdfs.keytab.file</name>
	<value>/etc/hadoop/fedora.keytab</value> <!-- Path to your keytab file. -->
</property>
