Some questions about HDF(NIFI)

diablo2 — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 12:23:16 GMT

I'd like to ask some questions about HDF.

1. Is HDF free?

2.In docs, it is said can use ambari install HDF, Can the HDF installed with same ambari server? and Installed with HDP on same clusters?

Thanks

@Huahua Wei

1. Yes, HDF is free (Official Hortonworks support for HDF is what you pay for)

2. As of the most recent official release, HDF and HDP require their own separate Ambari servers. A release coming in the not so distant future will allow you to install one Ambari that can manage both HDP and HDF services.

Thanks,

Matt
