Integration of Big Data Discovery with Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop

Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop (CDH) provides a number of Hadoop-related components and tools that BDD requires to process and manage data. CDH 5.3.0 must be installed on your system before you install BDD.

Note: CDH does not need to be installed on all nodes that will host BDD components. Some BDD components only require specific CDH components, and others require none at all. For more information, see CDH requirements.

CDH components have a number of functions within BDD. For example:

Cloudera Manager provides the BDD installer with information about your CDH cluster at runtime. You can also use Cloudera Manager to administer your CDH cluster after installation, although this is not required.
The Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) stores all of your source data.
ZooKeeper manages the Dgraph instances.
Spark runs all Data Processing jobs.
