apache kylin的一些注意事项(解决kylin报错Storage schema reading not supported)

1.目前我所使用的kylin版本为2.6.2，有时在完成一次构建后会出现fail to locate kylin.properties的异常，如图所示

经排查，定位到kylin源码中的

org.apache.kylin.engine.mr.common.AbstractHadoopJob中的loadKylinPropsAndMetadata方法，如图所示

我发现在执行cube构建任务时拆分的job会频繁调用这个方法，但这里这么写有些看不懂，不知道是个BUG还是有其他原因，总之这里不正确的更新了kylin_conf环境变量的路径。这个问题我会在后续升级版本中持续关注，目前的解决方法是，在kylin根目录下创建名为meta的文件夹，并将conf目录下的所有配置文件拷贝进去或者创建一个软连接。

2.因为业务数据存储在hbase上，因此在使用kylin分析时，需要先将hbase的数据mapping到hive上，再在kylin中load hive table。但在kylin中load table报错，而且普通表load没问题，只有mapping hbase的表才会报错，报的异常为java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Storage schema reading not supported

track输出为

报错原因是kylin在load表的时候，需要调用StorageSchemaReader接口的readSchema方法，默认的default是没有这个实现方法的就会报错。

解决方法是配置hive-site.xml中的属性

<property>
<name>metastore.storage.schema.reader.impl</name>
<value>org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.SerDeStorageSchemaReader</value>
</property>

3.目前kylin的authorization（授权）部分采用kylin自带的权限机制，根据不同的角色来授予不同的权限。authentication（鉴权）部分采用ldap的账号体系来进行用户登陆认证（具体接入ldap的方法参见我的其他文章）。我的权限控制需求是，在ldap中控制具体的用户登陆名，密码等等，用户分为管理者和查询者且查询者只能查归属项目下指定的表（并非所有表都可查）。

具体实现策略如下：

（1）ldap: ou=kylin_user对应平台所有用户，uid为登录名，userPassword为密码（默认加密方式即可）。 ou=kylin_group对应平台角色，cn为角色名，member对应角色所分配的用户，目前所有角色分为admin角色和普通角色，即ou=kylin_group中的cn=admin表示admin角色，它对应的member用户即为admin用户，admin用户在kylin中具有所有操作的权限。其他未赋予角色的用户为普通角色。

（2）在ldap中创建好了对应的用户和用户组之后，需要在kylin中配置ldap相关参数，具体参考我的kylin接入ldap篇。接入完成后，再在7070/kylin中使用admin账号登陆，点击左上角的“management project”按钮，选择对应的project，然后在access选项卡中 配置普通用户的角色，如图所示

普通用户的角色有四种，分别是ADMIN,MANAGEMENT,OPERATOR,QUERY，admin是超管，默认不要赋给普通用户此权限。management是project的管理员，可以执行该project下的所有操作。operator是操作者，能执行该project下的model创建，cube创建构建，insight查询等等，但无法在management project中管理project。query是最低权限者，只能执行该project对应的insight查询，适用于普通的查询数据的用户。

（3）普通查询用户需要再额外配置表权限，使特定用户只能查特定表（默认是query权限的用户可以查询该project下的所有表）。具体配置方法是使用高级用户，在首页model下的datasource选项卡中，在左侧选择需要配置权限的表，然后在右侧的access选项卡中 增加grant，选择对应的用户。或者删除某个用户使其无法查询该表。如图所示
