error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping lucidworks-hdpsearch-0:2.5-100

It's happening because of the prescript that checks

1. if[[ $proc_version ==*"Debian"*]];then
2. distro=Debian
3. elif[[ $proc_version ==*"Red Hat"*]];then
4. distro=RedHat
5. elif[[ $proc_version ==*"Ubuntu"*]];then
6. distro=Ubuntu
7. elif[[ $proc_version ==*"SUSE"*]];then
8. distro=SUSE

But HDP output of:

How to go about fixing this?

The problem seems to be related to Docker Sandbox which uses Moby Linux. As you discovered, the HDPSearch RPM fails to treat moby as centos/redhat.

I'm not aware of a solution, but I will raise the issue.

[#3]

The OS detection for the solr script was improved in Solr 6.3 with SOLR-9475. Prior to this, the solr script from bin/solr wouldn't detect the OS properly when running under Docker. There are some other OS detection improvements as well from that JIRA.

[#4]

@Gogreen withTech @Kevin Risden @Michael Young This is still a problem with HDP 2.6 Docker sandbox as well. Is there any guidance on how to install Solr/HDP Search on the sandbox?
