Installing the WhereScape Azkaban scheduler components on Windows is the easiest way to get started with Azkaban for RED, the Linux installation is more advanced and requires some knowledge of Linux and package management in your particular Linux distribution which is not covered in this install guide.

Before you begin

Common Prerequisites

  1. An existing RED metadata repository to associate with the Azkaban Scheduler (only one Azkaban Web Server Scheduler per RED repository is permitted.)

  2. A PostgreSQL-compatible database for the Azkaban metadata.

    Note

    The database name must be in lowercase only and not contain any special characters that would require surrounding it with double quotes (") in queries.

    RED and Azkaban metadata can coexist in the same database as they use different schemas, ‘red’ and ‘white’ respectively. Still, in production environments, it is recommended to keep them in separate databases for performance and administrative reasons.

  3. PostgreSQL tools installed (psql, pg_dump, pg_restore)

  4. Azkaban Web and Executor Servers require Java, only Open JDK 11 JRE is supported and tested. On windows installs the JRE within the RED install directory is used automatically but on Linux you will need to install the JRE yourself.
