Using Utilities
HeavyDB includes the utilities initdb for database initialization and generate_cert for generating certificates and private keys for an HTTPS server.
Before using HeavyDB, initialize the data directory using
initdb
:initdb [-f | --skip-geo] $HEAVYAI_BASE/storage
This creates three subdirectories:
catalogs
: Stores HeavyDB catalogsdata
: Stores HeavyDB datalog
: Contains all HeavyDB log files.disk_cache
: Stores the data cached by HEAVY COnnect
The
-f
flag forces initdb
to overwrite existing data and catalogs in the specified directory.By default,
initdb
adds a sample table of geospatial data. Use the --skip-geo
flag if you prefer not to load sample geospatial data.generate_cert [{-ca} <bool>]
[{-duration} <duration>]
[{-ecdsa-curve} <string>]
[{-host} <host1,host2>]
[{-rsa-bits} <int>]
[{-start-date} <string>]
This command generates certificates and private keys for an HTTPS server. The options are:
[{-ca} <bool>]
: Whether this certificate should be its own Certificate Authority. The default isfalse
.[{-duration} <duration>]
: Duration that the certificate is valid for. The default is8760h0m0s
.[{-ecdsa-curve} <string>]
: ECDSA curve to use to generate a key. Valid values areP224
,P256
,P384
,P521
.[{-host} <string>]
: Comma-separated hostnames and IPs to generate a certificate for.[{-rsa-bits} <int>]
: Size of RSA key to generate. Ignored if –ecdsa-curve is set. The default is2048
.[{-start-date} <string>]
: Start date formatted asJan 1 15:04:05 2011
