Problem during installation CDH via Manager

avatar
Explorer

First, i have read all the necessary documents about introduction and installation.

And i was using the lastest Cloudera Manager.

My hosts: 3 virtual machines, all is SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64) 

 

[Problem 1]

When i using Cloudera Manager to install CDH, during the 'Cluster Installation' step, i chosed 'Use Parcels'.

But there was no parcel choice, and the page noted 'No parcels found from the configured repositories.'.

 

 

Then i followed the notes, and tried to add a custom repository in the page: enter the correct URL for lastest CDH4, click button 'Add'. But i got no response.

 

 

[Problem 2]

Then i changed the repository type to 'Use Packages'.

After entered the cluster hosts, root user information, i steped into installation process page. 

But during the host installation, some error happened while installing hadoop.

ps: This host can access the internet.

Following is the detail error messages copied from installation page:

 

Installing hadoop package...

BEGIN zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys -n se -i --match-exact -t package hadoop | grep -E '^i[[:space:]]*\|[[:space:]]*hadoop'
END (1)

Problem: nothing provides netcat-openbsd needed by hadoop-2.0.0+1475-1.cdh4.4.0.p0.23.sles11.x86_64
Solution 1: do not ask to install a solvable providing hadoop
Solution 2: break hadoop by ignoring some of its dependencies

Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/c] (c): c
END (4)
remote package hadoop could not be installed, giving up
waiting for rollback request

It sounds like you've got a web proxy on your network that is blocking Cloudera Manager from being able to get the packages.   I believe wget will utilize an environment variable called "http_proxy" to reach the internet through your web proxy, so that may explain why it's working.  Also, as you noticed with your java app, it worked when it utilized a proxy.

 

In the latest versions of CM, you can set your proxy server in the "Administration" tab.  Just type in a search term of "proxy" on that page and you can specify your web proxy server, etc.

Here is the main error logs for Problem 1(comes from /var/log/cloudera-scm-server/cloudera-scm-server.log):

It seems like a remote parcel access problem. But i can install Cloudera Manager Server from internet by cloudera-manager-installer.bin.

what happens if you try to run this command:

 

wget http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh4/parcels/latest/manifest.json

On the Cloudera Manager Server host, i call download remote files via 'wget' command. I had this tested.

 

# wget http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh4/parcels/latest/manifest.json
--2013-11-25 14:14:25-- http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh4/parcels/latest/manifest.json
Connecting to 10.45.7.190:808... connected.
Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK
Length: 14438 (14K) [text/plain]
Saving to: `manifest.json'

100%[==========================================================================================>] 14,438 29.7K/s in 0.5s

2013-11-25 14:14:26 (29.7 KB/s) - `manifest.json' saved [14438/14438]

 

And I cal wget remote parcels such as 'CDH-4.4.0-1.cdh4.4.0.p0.39-sles11.parcel'.

 

So this is the weried. I seems like this host can not access the parcels while install via Cloudera Manager.

I have write a tiny demo Java  app to simulate wget command. It uses java.net.HttpURLConnection to download file from internet such as http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh4/parcels/latest/manifest.json. And I ran this app on the virtual machine where Cloudera Manager Server Hosted.

 

First, this app used no http proxy, and got the same exception:

java.net.UnknownHostException: archive.cloudera.com
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(PlainSocketImpl.java:177)
at java.net.SocksSocketImpl.connect(SocksSocketImpl.java:366)

at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.connect(HttpURLConnection.java:726)
at WGet.wget(WGet.java:48)
at WGet.main(WGet.java:30)

 

Then I set http proxy in the app code,  this time the app can successfully download http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh4/parcels/latest/manifest.json.

 

Does this mean, when I use Cloudera Manager Server to install CDH (Parcel mode), somewhere else need to set http proxy for internet access?

My demo wget app:

 

import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URL;


public class WGet {
public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {

String fileUrl = args[0];
if (fileUrl == null || fileUrl.trim().length() == 0) {
System.out
.println("java Wget [remote file url] --parameter needed");
System.exit(0);
}
System.out.println("Downloading file: " + args[0]);

String fileName = fileUrl.substring(fileUrl.lastIndexOf("/") + 1);
File f = new File(fileName);
if (f.exists() && f.isFile()) {
f.delete();
}

wget(fileUrl, fileName);
}

private static void wget(String destUrl, String fileName) {
FileOutputStream fos = null;
BufferedInputStream bis = null;
HttpURLConnection httpUrl = null;
URL url = null;
int BUFFER_SIZE = 4096;
byte[] buf = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];
int size = 0;

System.getProperties().put("proxySet", "true");
System.getProperties().put("proxyHost", "10.45.11.233");
System.getProperties().put("proxyPort", "8080");

try {
// 建立链接
url = new URL(destUrl);
httpUrl = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

// 连接指定的资源
httpUrl.connect();

// 获取网络输入流
bis = new BufferedInputStream(httpUrl.getInputStream());

// 建立文件
fos = new FileOutputStream(fileName);

// 保存文件
while ((size = bis.read(buf)) != -1) {
fos.write(buf, 0, size);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (fos != null) {
try {
fos.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
if (bis != null) {
try {
bis.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
if (httpUrl != null) {
httpUrl.disconnect();
}
}
}

I have tried set http proxy  on the Administration Page of Admin Console before(few days ago), but it did not work.

 

Anyway, today I tried again, and this time problem solved. I seems like both Cloudera Server Host and Admin Console need the settings of http proxy.

 

Thanks a lot!
