I am trying to determine if it is better to move to a parcel and then install spark vs directly installing via RPMs.   You have given me the RPM path.  There are the following RPMs: spark-core, spark-history-server, spark-master, spark-python, spark-worker.   I have 4 master nodes and 3 data nodes. Can you please recommend which RPMs run where?  I cant seem to find proper documentation on that.    Thanks for your patience, Anant     ... View more

Thanks, Gautam.  That leaves me confused as to why my installation didnt find any parcels.  Hopefully, I can move forward through the migration process.  The reason for this line of questions is: I need to add Spark Service.  I am now currently RPM based installed.  When I look available spark parcels, it's based on cdh4.  I tried that it failed in the activation phase due to the current RPM based install. The other option seems to be RPM based on a bunch of hosts. Question: How do I install Spark?  I cannot seem to add a service now. Do I have any options?   Thanks,  Anant ... View more

Will the uninstall packages step undo the parcel based install and activation?   Thanks! ... View more
