6 USS Documentation Main

6.2 Getting Started

USS (v0.5.0) is part of Pivotal HD 1.1. USS is distributed as a set of three RPM packages that are part of the tarball. You can download the PHDTools tarball from the

PHDTools-version EMC Download Center

(paid version) or the Pivotal HD product page (Community Edition). Architecturally, USS has the following four components:

6.2.1 USS Namenode (Server)

The USS Namenode is a stateless server-side component. It is implemented as a Hadoop RPC server, that is capable of interacting with a catalog system to delegate file system calls to appropriate underlying file systems. It is expected to run on a dedicated server. In this alpha version, this runs as a single server, with no HA and failover. It is designed to be the central place where all file system calls converge, before they are delegated to a multitude of underlying file systems. It abstracts datasets on underlying file systems as mount-points. It stores the mapping between mount-points and the directories that they point to in the USS catalog. The USS Namenode does not store any state, its state is contained within the USS Catalog.

6.2.2 USS Catalog

The USS Catalog is a metadata store for the USS Namenode. In this version, the USS catalog is contained in a postgres database. USS ships scripts that can help users manage the USS Catalog. The USS RPMs do not install the postgres database to be used as the USS catalog. It is expected that users have a postgres database ready. However, if users use Pivotal Command Center to deploy USS, it can deploy a postgres database as the USS Catalog.

6.2.3 USS Agent

The USS Agent is the FileSystem driver that is expected to be present on all Pivotal HD cluster nodes. This is the USS client-side library that accepts a FileSystem request (containing a mount-point), maps the request to the appropriate File System and path, by making an RPC request to the USS Namenode.

6.2.4 USS Client

The USS Client hosts allow administrators to update the USS Catalog using the USS CLI. Pivotal HD Manager installs this role on all Client Hosts in your cluster configuration. Users can also use the USS Namenode or the USS Catalog host as the client node.

6.2.5 USS Gateway

USS uses a ‘Gateway’ to enable access to protocol-incompatible filesystems. It is a host that acts as a bridge between a PHD cluster and a protocol-incompatible cluster by delegating the filesystem request to the target remote filesystem. This host is expected to have access to the wire-incompatible cluster that you wish to access using USS. The Pivotal HD Manager does not install this component, since it requires some information about the wire-incompatible cluster. More information about setting up this component can be found later in this document in the Setting up USS Gateway section.
