Install the Hyper-Q Software

To install the Hyper-Q software, perform the following steps:

  1. Perform the following steps in a directory other than /opt/datometry/*.

  2. Copy the hyperq-version-bigquery.tar.gz to the Hyper-Q VM.

  3. Uncompress the file.

    $ tar xvf hyperq-version-bigquery.tar.gz

    This creates the following RPM files:

    • hyperq-version.x86_64.rpm

    • hyperq-monitors-version.x86_64.rpm

    • hyperq-bigquery-version.x86_64.rpm

    • hyperq-system-version.x86_64.rpm

  4. Install the software packages as superuser, replacing the version placeholder with the actual version number of the Hyper-Q software.

    $ sudo yum install hyperq-version.x86_64.rpm
hyperq-monitors-version.x86_64.rpm
hyperq-bigquery-version.x86_64.rpm
hyperq-system-version.x86_64.rpm
Results

The installation process performs the following steps:

  • Creates the group dtm and a user ID dtm at the OS level.

  • Installs all binaries and support files under the directory /opt/datometry.

  • Creates the Linux service dtm within the system.

    Note

    The installation creates the dtm service, however, it does not enable automatically starting the service after a reboot. To enable automatically starting the dtm service, see Configure Hyper-Q to Start Automatically at Boot Time.

  • Adjusts system controls by installing the file /etc/sysctl.d/dtm.conf and applies its configuration settings to the Hyper-Q VM. Changes take effect immediately without requiring a reboot.

  • Installs Google BigQuery Python 2 modules. A list of modules can be found at: /opt/datometry/dtm/lib/dtm-1.0/priv/requirements.txt

What to do Next

After you install the Hyper-Q software, you must install the Hyper-Q user defined functions (UDFs). Installing the UDFs is an integral part of a successful Hyper-Q installation. To learn how to install the UDFs, see Install Hyper-Q User Defined Functions for Google BigQuery.
