Import files by box

Prev Next

Available in VPC

In addition to the shared data provided by the Data Box Frame manager, you can import files for data analysis into using Box. Since file import and export uses the Object Storage of NAVER Cloud Platform, you must request subscription to Object Storage, create a bucket, and upload the file to the bucket.

Note

Object Storage service pricing information is charged separately. For more details on Object Storage pricing information, see the Object Storage page.

Caution

Check the cautions when using Connect Server NAS when importing files.

1. Request import

File import is the only method available for importing necessary files into a Box that is not connected to the external network. Request for file import after uploading the file to be imported to the Object Storage Bucket. To request file import, follow these steps:

  1. In the VPC environment on the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to i_menu > Services > Big Data & Analytics > Data Box Frame > Import.
    databoxframe-datain_in-1_ko
  2. Click the [Request import].
    databoxframe-datain_in-2_ko
  3. Enter the relevant information on the import request page and click OK.
    databoxframe-datain_in-3_ko
    • Data box name: Select the box to import
    • Source bucket: Select the bucket where the file is stored
    • Source file: Enter the file name and click Add.
    • Target NAS to store: Select 1 NAS for the box
    • Memo: Add a memo (maximum of 50 characters).
  4. Check the application details and import status.
  5. When the status changes to Import complete, confirm importing the file.

2. Check import

The files will be imported to the NAS selected at the time of import request. To check file import, follow these steps:

  1. Connect to the Connect Server of the box where you requested file import.
  2. Connect to the Hadoop server.
  3. Move to the NAS mount point specified when importing files. The NAS's mount point is /mnt/nasw*.
    $ cd /mnt/nasw*
  4. Check the imported file.
    $ ls [file-name]
Note
  • Since NAS is not mounted on Connect Server, you need separate movement when using files.
  • You can use pscp to copy files from the server (Linux) where the NAS is mounted to Connect Server (Windows).
  • For example, when copying a file that exists in the Linux environment after connecting to Connect Server, you can use it through the command below in the CMD window.
$ pscp user@ip:/src-path dest-path
  • NAS is mounted to a new Connect Server created via create Frame, create Box, or edit Box.

3. Precautions when importing (malicious code, size, file count limits)

  • Simultaneous import is limited to 5 files.
  • Each file may not exceed 500 MB in size.
  • It is possible to reject data that may cause problems at the time of import.
