Not able to configure Ranger plugin for Nifi

[#1]

When we are trying to implement Ranger Plugin in Nifi in our ambari clsuter, we are getting the attached error. We have configured Nifi in distributed mode in two different servers.Please find the attached error log.

Ambari Version :- 2.7.3.0

HDP Version :- 3.1.0.0

HDF version :- 3.3.1.0-10

Nifi Version:- 1.8.0.3.3.1.0-10

Can anyone help here, please?

Looks like it is failing even before the nifi is getting started.
So can you please check and share what is the output of the following commands on the failing host?

# hdf-select | grep nifi
# cat /etc/redhat-release

 
Or please let us know what is the OS type or version?    As we see that the error is coming at the execution of 'get_stack_version' so it will be good to know the "hdf-select" output and also output of the following directories/listing:

# ls -lart /usr/hdf
# ls -lart /usr/hdf/current/

Nifi is installed in two servers. Please find the output from both of them:-

@pritam_konar 

How did you install NiFi on those two hosts?  Via Ambari or Manually?    Looks like somehow the "hdf-select" installation is missing on the Nifi Host.

I was expecting to see the output from the following command:

# hdf-select | grep nifi
nifi - 3.3.1.0-10
nifi-registry - 3.3.1.0-10
nifi-toolkit - 3.3.1.0-10

 .

Looks like hdf-select is not installed on your host.

Can you please try this to see if it works?
Install the hdf-select manually as following:

# yum info hdf-select
# yum clean all
# yum install hdf-select

Then set the correct version for the stack.

# hdf-select set nifi 3.3.1.0-10
# hdf-select set nifi-registry 3.3.1.0-10
# hdf-select set nifi-toolkit 3.3.1.0-10

.

Then try to enable ranger . nifi plugin again.

Thanks @jsensharma for the reply. I just want a confirmation:-

If i run the command :- 

yum clean all

will it remove all the installed yum packages, or it will remove only  the 'hdf-select' packages?

[#8]

@pritam_konar 

"#yum clean all"  will not delete any package from the host. It will just clean the yum cache header/packages.

# yum clean packages    Eliminate any cached packages from the system. Note that packages are not automatically deleted after they are downloaded.

# yum clean headers  Eliminate all of the header files which yum uses for dependency resolution.

# yum clean all      Runs yum clean packages and yum clean headers as above.

I thing hdf-select is installed already in both the cluster. Please find the output below and confirm:-

Please note , we installed Nifi via apache ambari.

@pritam_konar 
Yes hdf-select might be installed. However we you have mentioned earlier that when you tried to run it manually still you noticed this error:  which means it might not be installed properly.   

[root@nladfmrvu12 ~]# hdf-select | grep nifi
-bash: hdf-select: command not found

[root@nladfmrvu11 ~]# hdf-select | grep nifi
-bash: hdf-select: command not found

Thats why try to do a yum reinstall once.

# yum reinstall hdf-select

What i meant to say is .... hdf-select might not be able to determine the packages.  hdf-select usualy looks inside the "/usr/hdf/" directory and checks the versions and the "current" ..

So do you see any version for hdf components when you run the hdf-select command?

# hdf-select

If not then please try to set the versions and then see if it works?

# hdf-select set nifi 3.3.1.0-10
# hdf-select set nifi-registry 3.3.1.0-10
# hdf-select set nifi-toolkit 3.3.1.0-10
