WhereScape maintains and distributes a customized version of Azkaban for the scheduling and orchestration of data warehouse workloads with RED. WhereScape’s customized version includes support for PostgreSQL as opposed to the MySQL version available publicly. This version of Azkaban is currently only available and distributed with WhereScape RED. WhereScape’s version of Azkaban is based on the Azkaban 3.x release branch. For the most part, the publicly available Azkaban documentation still applies to WhereScape’s version of Azkaban excluding the MySQL portions and any features beyond the 3.x version.

  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.

    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.
