Configuring external hive metastore (Databricks)

You can configure external metastores of Databricks' workspaces for Unravel monitoring.

Refer to External Apache Hive metastore to set up hive metastores with Azure Databricks.

Copy database jar for hive metastore configuration

Ensure that the database jar file for MySQL, MariaDB, or Oracle DB is copied to the following location before you configure Hive metastore. 

<Unravel installation directory>/unravel/share/java/

For example:

/opt/unravel/share/java/

To configure the metastore, do the following:

  1. Create a .txt or .prop file containing the following properties and their corresponding values in any location accessible to Unravel users. Following is a sample of the file:
