Activating the Local Metastore for a Cluster

Activate the local (default) metastore for a Big Data Service cluster.

When you activate the local metastore, an existing external metastore becomes inactive.

1. On the Clusters list page, select the cluster that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page or the cluster, see Listing Clusters in a Compartment.
2. On the Cluster details page, under Resources, select Metastore configurations.
  
  The default local metastore is listed. An external metastore is also listed if you have created one.
3. From the Actions menu for the local metastore configuration, select Activate.
4. In the Activate local metastore dialog box, enter the Cluster admin password for the cluster.
5. Select Activate.
Use the oci bds bds-metastore-configuration activate command and required parameters to activate the local or external metastore configuration.
oci bds bds-metastore-configuration activate --bds-instance-id <bds_instance_id> --cluster-admin-password <cluster_admin_password> --metastore-config-id <metastore_config_id> [OPTIONS]
For a complete list of flags and variable options for CLI commands, see the Command Line Reference for Big Data.
Use the ActivateBdsMetastoreConfiguration operation to delete an external metastore.
