Ankush Metadata Location

Ankush creates a folder on file system to store its metadata at a location ~/.ankush (i.e. a folder with name .ankush within the home folder in which tomcat server started). Within this folder there is a folder server inside which there are multiple folders (log, repo)

Note: (~) implies user’s home directory. For root user, the home directory is /root/ and normally for any other user the home directory is /home/username/

Cleanup: If anytime user wants to perform a cleanup for fresh reinstallation of Ankush then make sure to delete this folder if manual uninstallation of Ankush is chosen as an option. In case of automatic uninstallation, the un-deployment script automatically takes care of it.

Repo

Within .ankush folder, there is a repo folder (~/.ankush/server/repo) which acts as a repository for Ankush. Currently the user manually needs to copy setup bundles (related to java & Oracle No SQL database) within this folder.

Note: Only after copying the required applicable bundles user can setup Oracle cluster or can specify java bundle path in Hadoop cluster setup.

Log

Generally in case of any trouble first point of contacts are log files. There are two files which are available for troubleshooting issues:

1. • ankush.log log file at location ~/.ankush/server/log/
2. • sshxcute.log at location ~/.ankush/server/log/

DB

The database connection information is stored in a file named jdbc.properties at location ~/.ankush/server/db/
