not able to activate KAFKA

[#1]

hi all,

I downloaded the Kafka parcel and distributed it but when it comes to activation, its showing error "CDH (5.2 and higher) parcel required for KAFKA (3.0.0-1.3.0.0.p0.40) is not available". I am following the steps to install Kafka through cloudera manager from below given link 

https://www.cloudera.com/documentation/kafka/latest/topics/kafka_installing.html#concept_ngx_4l4_4r

I even checked my cloudera manager version from support>about navigation and it's showing below message

Version: Cloudera Express 5.13.0 (#55 built by jenkins on 20171002-1719 git: bd657e597e6743c458ee2c9aabe808b7c972981c)

I think my cloudera manager version is the latest one but then too i am not able to activate Kafka, Please help me in this regard?

The error is about CDH and not Cloudera Manager.

The specific version of Cloudera Kafka needs both to be at least, version 5.13.

Also, if you do already have CDH, is it package managed or parcel managed?
You can tell by looking at the top of the cluster services list on CM home
page, or by visiting the little gift box icon on top right that takes you
to the parcels management page.

For using Kafka parcel, ensure you use CDH as parcels too. You can do a
quick migration following this:

Hi, Harsh,

How can I tell if I am using package managed or parcels managed? I am using 5.13.0 dockerized CDH express version. And I meet this issue too. I cannot activate kafka after installing the kafka parcel.

The docker version (5.13.x) of quickstart uses a package based installation
by default.

Thank you for your quick reply!!  So can I try to convert to parcel managed referred in this link?

Or do I need other installation environment?

OK, leave me and I will do a clean installation with parcels. Thanks Harsh. 🙂
