HDP 2.5 Ambari failed to add Accumulo service

[#1]

When adding Accumulo service using Ambari, it failed to start with the following message, also the version of accumulo seems odd as well:

File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/resource_management/core/source.py", line 75, in get_content
    raise Fail("{0} Source file {1} is not found".format(repr(self), path))
resource_management.core.exceptions.Fail: StaticFile('accumulo-metrics.xml') Source file /var/lib/ambari-agent/cache/common-services/ACCUMULO/1.6.1.2.2.0/package/files/accumulo-metrics.xml is not found

[#2]

The path is just an artifact of when Accumulo was first added to Ambari (HDP-2.2.0). The files that are common to all versions of Accumulo can live in that common-services directory. I think that is a red-herring.

Perhaps it is something trivial like you do not have the ambari-agent installed on the node in question (or maybe the wrong version of the ambari-agent)? I don't recall seeing this one before.

[#3]

The Ambari version is 2.4.0.0 and ambari-agent version is 2.4.0.0-1225.x86_64 and is running (same version as ambari-server).

[#4]

Could this be an Ambari issue (instead of Accumulo)? Has anyone tried to add and install Accumulo on HDP 2.5 sandbox successfully?

[#5]

It's possible. I certainly don't know from the Accumulo side why this would be failing. I can say that Accumulo deploys just fine via Ambari on HDP 2.5.

Maybe the mighty @Robert Levas has a tip/suggestion?

[#6]

Can you check your repo? It's pointing to HDP 2.2 for some reason, also, highly recommend installing Ambari 2.4.2, with 2.4.0.0 there were many bugs.

[#7]

I am sorry if I did not make it clear that what I am dealing with is HDP 2.5 Sandbox VMWare image. The VM has been loaded with Ambari 2.4.0.0 already, but not with Accumulo.

[#8]

@Ruey Chang I will let the Sandbox team know but you are correct and we clearly stated that in our release notes for Sandbox http://hortonworks.com/hadoop-tutorial/hortonworks-sandbox-guide/#section_1

HDP Supported Components Not Installed These components are offered by the Hortonworks distribution, but not included in the Sandbox.

1. Apache Accumulo 2. Apache Mahout 3. Hue

Thanks! Looking forward to have some answers.

Eventually I manually installed Accumulo and it works now. Thanks.
