Editing Source or Target Settings for a Local Hadoop Distributed File System

Edit properties of the local Hadoop Distributed File System that’s listed as a data source in the Catalog. Use this storage server as the source of the data that you want to repair and enrich, or use it as the target where you store the repaired and enriched data.

To edit a local Hadoop Distributed File System source or target:

1. On the Catalog page, locate the Hadoop Distributed File System source or target whose properties you want to edit.
2. Click the More Actions icon. A menu with the available actions for that element of the Catalog appears.
3. Select Edit.
   The Edit Source page appears.
4. Edit the source properties of the Hadoop Distributed File System you want to change:
   • In the Name field, enter a new name to identify the source. The name must not contain spaces. If you enter a space, then the application changes it to an underscore.
   • In the Service URL field, enter a new URL. This URL starts with hdfs://, then it specifies the name of the server, and ends with the port. For example, hdfs://hadoopserver:8020
   • In the Username field, enter a new user name. This is the user name specified in the email that you receive when you create your account.
   • In the Password field, enter a new password. This is the password specified in the email that you receive when you create your account.
5. Optionally, click Test to verify that you entered the correct data, and that the connection to the service works.
   A confirmation message appears.
6. Click Save.
   The Catalog page appears.

The Catalog now shows the edited source that you created. Obtain the data that you want to prepare and enrich from this source, and use the same location as a target to publish your processed data.
