Apache Metron Single Node Installation Issue: Ambari Client Exception

hamed1 — Tue, 27 Sep 2016 06:26:39 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to install Metron on a single node, following the instructions here:

https://github.com/apache/incubator-metron/tree/master/metron-deployment/vagrant/full-dev-platform

I receive the following error, indicating an issue with Ambari:

fatal: [node1]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "invocation": {"module_args": {"blueprint_name": null, "blueprint_var": null, "cluster_name": "metron_cluster", "cluster_state": "started", "configurations": null, "host": "node1", "password": "admin", "port": 8080, "username": "admin", "wait_for_complete": true}, "module_name": "ambari_cluster_state"}, "msg": "Ambari client exception occurred: No JSON object could be decoded"}

Note that Ambari is up and running. I can log into it using a browser.

Here's the output of platform-info.sh:

It is perhaps unrelated but worth mentioning that I have made the following changes in my Vagrantfile:

1) set the number of cpus to 2 instead of the default 4.

2) set config.ssh.insert_key = false

I appreciate your help.

I should add that I receive the mentioned error during the following task:

Hey HS,

I think this is most likely an issue with master. I am seeing the same error on my box as well.

IMHO this calls for logging a defect.

Note that you can make the following changes to get a verbose output when you run provision.

- Edit the Vagrant file

- Add "ansible.verbose = "vvv"" in the bottom of the file where the other parameters are defined. Something like this:

<snip>
    ansible.inventory_path = "../../inventory/full-dev-platform"
    ansible.verbose = "vvv"
  end
end

Hi,

It seems that the Ambari client gets unhappy when you ask it to start services and they are all started. I have opened METRON-466 to track it.

In the meantime, you should be able to comment out lines 34-42 in metron-deployment/roles/ambari_config/start_hdp.yml to get you going. I hope to have a fix up shortly.

Thanks!

FWIW I was able to run quick-dev installation without any issues.

Thanks for your response. The issue was resolved and Metron is successfully deployed.
