Menas

Prerequisits to deploying Menas are

  • Tomcat 8.5+ to deploy the war to
  • HADOOP_CONF_DIR environment variable. This variable should point to a folder containing Hadoop configuration files (core-site.xml, hdfs-site.xml and yarn-site.xml). These are used to query the HDFS for folder locations.
  • MongoDB 4.0+ used as a storage
  • OPTIONAL Spline 0.3.X for viewing of the lineage from Menas. Even without Spline in Menas, Standardization and Conformance will log lineage to Mongo.

Deploying Menas

The easiest way to deploy Menas is to copy the menas-VERSION.war to $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps. This will create <tomcat IP>/menas-VERSION path on your local server.
