Can't find cloudera 5.7 parcel

[#1]

Hi, guys!

I'm trying to install cloudera using CM api. Today I started seeing this problem: can't find CDH 5.7 even though the repo is specified:

In the parcels page I see a bunch of parcels, but not the CDH 5.7 one.

Also, on another Cluster I started seeing these messages:

The first one happened at November 10, 2017 5:59 PM.

This message is happening on the new clusters as well.

Is everything ok with the repo?

Thank you for your response! You're right, to see CDH 5.7 from CM 5.13 - I need to use the http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/parcels/5.7/ repo, what I actually am doing. It works almost all the time except, but sometimes - it doesn't. I saw errors, which are the same to the errors related to the sqoop repo.

Thank you for the investigation! I'll create some internal mirror for the CDH 5.7 parcels to be sure that repository is available all the time.

Thanks for the workaround which was a great help as I got this error just today with CDH 5.12.x.

After adding the Anaconda parcel: https://repo.continuum.io/pkgs/misc/parcels/ , it didnt show up in the parcel list when Checking for New Parcels. There was a null pointer exception in cloudera-scm-server.log . Had to remove both http and https sqoop parcel urls after which the Anaconda parcel showed up.

I have reproduced this issue, not sure why it took so long to affect my installs.    Removing the sqoop repo https://archive.cloudera.com/sqoop-connectors/parcels/latest/  is indeed the work around.

I have notified the correct Cloudera parties to look into and fix this issue.

This issue should be fixed now.   I have verified that the parcels show up on my cluster.

> Are you saying that when you removed the SQOOP-CONNECTORS  ( https://archive.cloudera.com/sqoop-connectors/parcels/latest ) URL from the parcels list you were able to see your CDH upgrade choice?

When I removed the SQOOP-CONNECTORS URL from the list of remote repositories I stopped getting the NPE and became able to install new parcels.
