Install Kudu on CDH Quickstart 5.8

Explorer

Are there any steps to install kudu on Quickstart cloudera VM and link it to Impala to create tables?

I have installed Kudu using yum on cloudera CDH 5.8 quickstart and able to create tables using Impala. But when I query that table I get below mentioned error as

"kudu features are diabled by startup flag --disable-kudu"

 

Please suggest?

 Hi,

  Kudu and the Kudu/Impala integration didn't become generally available until CDH5.10: https://www.cloudera.com/more/news-and-events/press-releases/2017-01-31-cloudera-announces-general-a...

 

Before that we released the Kudu/Impala integration as a separate beta-quality "preview release". I'd recommend using CDH5.10+ if you want to get started with Kudu

Hi,

 

Is there a way to install kudu on cloudera CDH 5.8 quickstart VM? Or is there a way to install Kudu quickstart on Windows machine? I am using windows operating system and i want to try integration of flume and spark for Kudu.

 

Could you please tell me how to install kudu quickstart on oracle virtualbox?

 

Thanks

If you try Kudu on CDH5.8 it won't be representative of the experience you will get with the officially supported release of Kudu. There were many many changes in Kudu between CDH5.8 and the general availability in CDH5.10.

Thanks Tim
I checked CDH 5.10 and it seems like i need to install full cluster with cloudera manager. i wanted a quickstart kind of thing which can be up and running soon.
Actually i wanted to show my client a demo of kudu with flume and spark within few days.i wanted to keep it simple and also wanted to set up quickly.
So in such case shall i go ahead with kudu quickstart demo on ubuntu(windows virtual box) or is there a another shorthand way to have this demo up and running? i was watching vidoes of Ryan Bosshart on safari and he used kudu quickstart on Mac OS.
Please suggest?

Could you get by with the Kudu quickstart VM? I don't think it's as full-featured as the CDH quickstart VM (it may only have HDFS, Hive, Impala, and Kudu installed), but I know it's set up to use CDH 5.10.

 

You can find documentation for installing it here: https://kudu.apache.org/docs/quickstart.html

Ah I understand now - sorry for the confusion. For those older versions you have to install a parallel Impala service with Kudu support via CM: https://www.cloudera.com/documentation/kudu/0-9-0/topics/kudu_impala.html . The Kudu quickstart VM that Adar mentioned will give you a more recent version of Kudu

Hi Tim, Thanks for your reply. I am trying the option of installing kudu quickstart VM on Windows Virtualbox. I have installed and setup Ubuntu on VirtualBox on Windows OS. I am using below link to setup Kudu. https://kudu.apache.org/docs/quickstart.html When i run curl command, it doesnot do/return anything. The command is mentioned below. curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cloudera/kudu-examples/master/demo-vm-setup/bootstrap.sh | bash I think it is unable to establish SSL connection. Is there any workaround for the same? Or am i doing something wrong here? Please suggest

Hi @Tim Armstrong and @Adar

 

I am able to resolve github ssl certificate issue.

 

I am trying to download quickstart ova file from below link but it seems like this repo is very slow. Is there any other repo from where we can download this kudu quickstart vm file.

 

http://cloudera-kudu-beta.s2.amazonaws.com/cloudera-quickstart-vm-5.10.0-kudu-virtualbox.ova

 

Thanks
