Nifi installation failed

sai23 — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 12:14:22 GMT

Hi everyone,

I am having 4 node cluster hdp installed. i am trying to install nifi using ambari it is throwing an error.

followed steps:

1)i have upgraded ambari. now the current version is ambari 2.7, hdp version is 2.6.1.0 and HDF 3.1.2.0

using below link i have upgraded ambari..

https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HDF3/HDF-3.2.0/installing-hdf-on-hdp/content/hdf-upgrade-ambari-and-hdp.html

2)Installed M-pack using ambari server. and i am able to see nifi in my ambari add services list.

here comes the problem when i try to add a nifi service in one of the nodes in the cluster it is throwing an error.

I am attaching the error here.

Hi @kanna k ,

I guess you are doing wrong here as per https://supportmatrix.hortonworks.com/

Ambari-2.7 version only supports HDP-3.0 and HDF-3.2 that's the reason you are facing the issue here.

Refer to : https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/Ambari-2.7.0.0/bk_ambari-installation/content/determine_product_interop.html

as ambari is not fully compatable with HDP version is failing.

Thank you @Akhil S Naik

I have a doubt

i've upgraded to ambari2.7.

1) Do i need to upgrade HDP if i want to install HDF 3.2 or can i proceed wih HDF installation directly without upgrading HDP????

Please suggest me the possibility.

Thanks in advance....

Thank you so much @Akhil S Naik

I have changed mpack from hdf 3.1 to hdf 3.2.

My nifi installation is completed without upgrading HDP.
