# Use YARN with S3

When using the [Start a PDI cluster on YARN](https://pentaho-public.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EAI/pages/388312923/Start+a+PDI+Cluster+on+YARN) and [Stop a PDI cluster on YARN job](https://pentaho-public.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EAI/pages/388312925/Stop+a+PDI+Cluster+on+YARN) entries to run a transformation that attempts to read data from an Amazon S3 bucket, the transformation fails. The transformation fails because the Pentaho metastore is not accessible to PDI on the cluster. To resolve this problem, verify that the Pentaho metastore is accessible to PDI on the cluster.

Perform the following steps to make the Pentaho metastore accessible to PDI:

1. Navigate to the `<user>/.pentaho/metastore` directory on the machine with the PDI client.
2. On the cluster where the Yarn server is located, create a new directory in the `design-tools/data-integration/plugins/pentaho-big-data-plugin` directory, then copy the metastore directory into this location. This directory is the *\<NEW\_META\_FOLDER\_LOCATION>* variable.
3. Navigate to the `design-tools/data-integration` directory and open the `carte.sh` file with any text editor.
4. Add the following code in the line before the `export OPT` line: `OPT="$OPT -DPENTAHO_METASTORE_FOLDER=<NEW_META_FOLDER_LOCATION>"`, then save and close the file.
5. Create a zip file containing the contents of the `data-integration` directory.
6. In your Start a PDI cluster on YARN job entry, go to the **Files** tab of the Properties window, then locate the **PDI Client Archive** field. Enter the filepath for the zip file.

This task resolves S3 access issues for the following tranformation steps:

* Avro Input
* Avro Output
* Orc Input
* Orc Output
* Parquet Input
* Parquet Output
* Text File Input
* Text File Output

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/install/10.2-install/use-hadoop-with-pentaho/big-data-issues/use-yarn-with-s3.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
