Ranger installation - Atlas warning

[#1]

Hi,

While installing Ranger on a kerberized cluster, got the following warning about Atlas,

"Atlas is configured to use the HBase installed in this cluster. If you would like Atlas to use another HBase instance, please configure this property and HBASE_CONF_DIR variable in atlas-env appropriately."

atlas.graph.storage.hostname property is set to zookeeper quorum and HBASE_CONF_DIR = {{hbase_conf_dir}}

atlas.graph.storage.hostname = hdata2.xxx.local,hdata1.xxx.local

Any idea why it is complaining

@M B,

Atlas will by default use the HBase installed as part of the cluster. If you want to use another instance of Hbase may be a standalone version of HBase which is not part of HDP then you have to update the property 'HBASE_CONF_DIR' to point it to another version of HBase. This has nothing to do with Ranger installation. You should have seen this initially while adding atlas as well and you will be seeing this while adding other services. Just make sure you use the right value for HBASE_CONF_DIR if you are using other instance of HBase. Else you can just ignore the warning.

Thanks,

Aditya

Thanks Aditya,

you are spot on, just before your reply I verified in the codebase and it's a warning, so I am ignoring it.
