@Timothy Spann

Reproducible in brand new HDF 3.1 cluster using Ambari 2.6.1.0. It happened to me too, exactly. I upgraded Ambari to latest and that did it for me.

Hello@Timothy Spann,

Did you find any work around for this issue ?

Or is there any Ambari patch ?

Best Regards

Abdou

my workaround with HDF 3.1.2 on centos 6:

1. after first try to install, it will fail/or some warning , i check the conf dir is invalid , and it should remove

rm /etc/nifi/conf

2.delete and reinstall nifi

3. run following command
mv /etc/nifi/conf/config_version /etc/nifi/conf/config_version_old

Hi,

I have the same issue. But to work on it, I didn't have the conf directory created. I am struck here.

I uninstalled everything and started clean. Worked no problem. There have been updates since my initial issue.

I recommend upgrading to latest release.

cleaning out old directories, logs, temporary files.

reboot, restart ambari agent, restart ambari
