Hadoop Cluster Migrator tool provides a unified interface for copying data from one cluster to another cluster. Traditionally, DistCpy tool provided by Hadoop is used to migrate and copy the data from one Hadoop cluster to other. However, Distcpy works only when the connectivity between the source and target cluster is well established without any firewall rules blocking this connectivity. But in production scenarios, the edge node isolate the clusters from each other and Distcpy can’t be used for transfer of data or backup of the cluster. This is where Hadoop Cluster Migrator from Knowledge Lens can be very handy.
Hadoop Cluster Migrator is a cluster agnostic tool, which supports migration across different distribution, different version of Hadoop. Currently we support MapR, Cloudera, Hortworks, EMC Pivotal and Apache distribution of Hadoop, both in Kerberos enabled and disabled mode.
This completely Java based tool provides large scale data transfer between the cluster with transfer rate in the range of 10GB/s depending upon the bandwidth available. The tool is completely restartable and restarts from the point where the last transfer was stopped.
