Expert Contributor

Hello @Jay Kumar SenSharmaI get the same issue please take a look on my current host configuration:

OS: Windows 10

VirtualBox 5.4.2

Ram 16gb

Hard DIsk 1TB

Besides the issue on the image downloaded that says Docker (I re-downloaded with the right MD5). My machine never startup , 30 minutes later and see how it looks.

@Andres Urrego @Julián Rodríguez

The "loading bar" seeming to hang is an issue with the current sandbox and will be fixed in a very near-future release. Underneath the covers, though, services are started/starting - even though that screen appears for a while.

Ty opening up a browser and navigating to: https://localhost:8080 (or SSH via the browser at localhost:4200). If these services load, then the sandbox is up and good to go - that loading screen is just hanging and should change a few minutes later.

Newer releases on the HDP sandbox won't have this issue, and the current HDF sandbox is free of this already.

Hope that helps!

Can you please provide the Sandbox Version?

When you run into an issue, one of the first things someone will ask is “what sandbox version are you using“? To get this information:

Login using shell web client and execute: sandbox-version.

I'm going to try the suggested workaround , however this is not the first time it happens to me, months ago I was playing with the VM HDP2.4 and was the same. I will keep you posted. My goal truly is play with spark in HDP I dont know if HDF can works in that purpose. thanks

@Andres Urrego Glad you got it working! As you already linked below, here are a couple of good tutorials to get you started:

https://hortonworks.com/tutorial/learning-the-ropes-of-the-hortonworks-sandbox/

and

https://hortonworks.com/tutorial/hadoop-tutorial-getting-started-with-hdp/

Also, check out the splash page on the sandbox by navigating to http://localhost:8888 in your browser.

If your goal is to play with Apache Spark, check out the Spark tutorials on this page: https://hortonworks.com/tutorials/

Good luck!

Do you know some tutorial or place documentation about how is the riht way to sert up the required services at least Spark2 and HDFS cux my VM is failing and failing even if I turn off the maintenanence mode and I'm not able to start the services. thanks so much

@Andres Urrego Regarding the VM failing, is it the services shutting down on their own and not staying up? One common cause of this is not enough memory - to reduce resource usage try turning off all services and starting only HDFS, Zookeeper, YARN and Spark. Also make sure that you give your VM at least 8GB of RAM (https://hortonworks.com/tutorial/sandbox-deployment-and-install-guide shows how).

As far as documentation for Spark2/HDFS, here is a good Spark2 starter tutorial followed by a Spark2/HDFS project walkthrough.
