Installing Ambari and deploying components in different directory

[#1]

Hi,

I am a newbie and can you please let me know how we can customize the install to a different directory rather than the default /etc or/var etc...

I want to install the whole hdp platform under a directory /apps

Thanks

Chandra

AFAIK. We don't support this kind of installation with HDP. For logs location, yes we can change the log directory for each component in config.

[#3]

yes, probably you can mount /usr on path where you want to use but it should be same name I believe.

Major things goes under /usr and confs to /etc and logs inside /var, /hadoop, In new releases we are also using /opt

Thanks a lot. So I have to install in the default directory. Please correct me if I am wrong.

[#6]

Also can you tell me the location where it is installed. We have to allocate proper space to that specific location.

Thank you very much.
