While trying to install the shell interpreter for zeppelin (v 0.8.0), I fail with this message:

# sudo /usr/hdp/current/zeppelin-server/bin/install-interpreter.sh --name shell

As we see the following error while installing the SHELL interpreter.

org.sonatype.aether.RepositoryException: Cannot fetch dependencies for org.apache.zeppelin:zeppelin-shell:0.8.0     at org.apache.zeppelin.dep.DependencyResolver.getArtifactsWithDep(DependencyResolver.java:179) . . Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException     at org.sonatype.aether.impl.internal.DefaultRepositorySystem.resolveDependencies(DefaultRepositorySystem.java:352)

.

This can happen if you do not have internet access (or if you have soem n/w issue_ on the Zeppelin server host. Can you please isolate that?

You can also refer to the following article for similar issues: https://community.hortonworks.com/content/kbentry/84498/zeppelin-does-not-get-installed-properly-wit...

.

Basically We need to have the dependenices (jars) under "/usr/hdp/current/zeppelin-server/local-repo" and the interpreters inside the "/usr/hdp/current/zeppelin-server/interpreter/" dir if he interpreter installation is successful without internet issue.

I found a workaround by installing it locally: I downloaded the JARs from Maven: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.zeppelin/zeppelin-shell/0.8.0 and passed it as argument artifact. This worked:

# /usr/hdp/current/zeppelin-server/bin/install-interpreter.sh --name shell --artifact /var/tmp/zeppelin-jar/zeppelin-shell-0.8.0.jar

Thank you, indeed it was an internet issue, changing the dns resolver in "/etc/resolv.conf" worked. default was 127.0.0.11, but this kept spitting errors, changing it to 8.8.8.8 worked. not sure why though.
