hadoop cluster + what are the configuration steps in order to change the domain name on machines cluster

[#1]

We have HDP cluster version `2.6.5` and ambari `2.6.1` version

Cluster include 3 masters machines , and 211 data-nodes machines ( workers machines ) , all machines are `rhel 7.2` version

Example

master1.sys77.com , master2.sys77.com , master3.sys77.com …

And data nodes machines as

worker01.sys77.com , worker02.sys77.com ----> worker211.sys77.com

Now we want to change the domain name to `bigdata.com` instead of `sys77.com`

What is the procedure to replace the `domain name` (`sys77.com`) for Hadoop cluster ? ( HDP cluster with ambari )

[#2]

We can change the Hostname from ambari end as describe in the below article:

https://docs.cloudera.com/HDPDocuments/Ambari-2.5.2.0/bk_ambari-administration/content/ch_changing_h...

If the cluster has TLS/SSL enabled, you'll also need to regenerate certificates.

Also, if Kerberos is enabled, you may need to change the /etc/krb5.conf file if you're changing the kerberos domain and regenerate principals.

@mike_bronson7  oddly enough, the top post recommendations is this same question you asked 2 years ago:

https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Support-Questions/how-to-change-hostnames-on-all-machines-in-ambar...

To confirm, the hostname and the domain name are one in the same.  The "domain.com" is just part of the hostname.  The first part is the subdomain.  So the procedure to change "domain.com" is the same as subdomain. 

HOWEVER,  I would highly recommend testing this in a dev cluster before production, especially if you have ssl/kerberos.   This is a major change that affects ambari and all components.  If the ambari command agains the new json mapping fails, or there is any incomplete action within any agent/component,  you are going to bomb the whole cluster.

thank you for the post

but another question - according to the document - https://docs.cloudera.com/HDPDocuments/Ambari-2.7.0.0/administering-ambari/content/amb_changing_host...

The last stage is talking about – in case NameNode HA enabled , then need to run the following command on one of the name node

hdfs zkfc -formatZK -force

thank you for the post

but since we have active name node and standby name node we assume that our namenode is HA enable

example from our cluster

but we want to understand  what are the risks when doing the following cli on one of the namenode

hdfs zkfc -formatZK -force

is the below command is safety to run without risks ?
