Stopping and starting an Apache Hive™ Metastore cluster

  • Stopping a cluster
  • Starting a cluster

If necessary, you can stop and restart your Apache Hive™ Metastore cluster. When stopped, a cluster retains all its data. The data will be available again as soon as you restart the cluster.

Stopping a clusterStopping a cluster

Management console
CLI
REST API
gRPC API
  1. In the management console, select the folder where you want to stop a cluster.
  2. Go to Yandex MetaData Hub.
  3. In the left-hand panel, select  Metastore.
  4. In the cluster row, click and select Stop.
  5. Confirm stopping the cluster.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.

The folder used by default is the one specified when creating the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id options.

To stop a Apache Hive™ Metastore cluster, run this command:

yc managed-metastore cluster stop <cluster_name_or_ID>

You can get the cluster ID and name with the list of clusters in the folder.

  1. Get an IAM token for API authentication and put it into an environment variable:

    export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
    
  2. Call the Cluster.Stop method, e.g., via the following cURL request:

    curl \
        --request POST \
        --header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \
        --url 'https://metastore.api.cloud.yandex.net/managed-metastore/v1/clusters/<cluster_ID>:stop'
    

    You can get the cluster ID with the list of clusters in the folder.

  3. Check the server response to make sure your request was successful.

  1. Get an IAM token for API authentication and put it into an environment variable:

    export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
    
  2. Clone the cloudapi repository:

    cd ~/ && git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/yandex-cloud/cloudapi
    

    Below, we assume that the repository contents reside in the ~/cloudapi/ directory.

  3. Call the ClusterService.Stop method, e.g., via the following gRPCurl request:

    grpcurl \
        -format json \
        -import-path ~/cloudapi/ \
        -import-path ~/cloudapi/third_party/googleapis/ \
        -proto ~/cloudapi/yandex/cloud/metastore/v1/cluster_service.proto \
        -rpc-header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \
        -d '{
                "cluster_id": "<cluster_ID>"
            }' \
        metastore.api.cloud.yandex.net:443 \
        yandex.cloud.metastore.v1.ClusterService.Stop
    

    You can get the cluster ID with the list of clusters in the folder.

  4. Check the server response to make sure your request was successful.

  1. Get an IAM token for API authentication and put it into an environment variable:

    export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
    
  2. Call the Cluster.Start method, e.g., via the following cURL request:

    curl \
        --request POST \
        --header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \
        --url 'https://metastore.api.cloud.yandex.net/managed-metastore/v1/clusters/<cluster_ID>:start'
    

    You can get the cluster ID with the list of clusters in the folder.

        -rpc-header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \
        -d '{
                "cluster_id": "<cluster_ID>"
            }' \
        metastore.api.cloud.yandex.net:443 \
        yandex.cloud.metastore.v1.ClusterService.Start
    

    You can get the cluster ID with the list of clusters in the folder.

  4. Check the server response to make sure your request was successful.
