problem with making external cluster on HDP sandbox 2.4

[#1]

As following HDP falcon tutorial, I succeeded to test mirroring function from sandbox cluster to sandbox cluster.

Then using falcon mirror function, I want to make a replication from sandbox cluster to external cluster what I have. (the name is "edumst01.sbp.com")

But I failed to make a cluster entity. here are the information what I write on falcon web ui and the falcon.applicaiton.log message.

Please check it and tell me the right way to make a external cluster.

For your information, my cluster don't have falcon, jmx, only is installed hdfs, yarn, oozie.

<the data what I write>

Readonly hftp://edumst01.sbp.com:50070

Write hdfs://edumst01.sbp.com:8020

Execute edumst01.sbp.com:8050

Workflow http://edumst01.sbp.com:11000/oozie/

Messaging tcp://sandbox.hortonworks.com:61616?daemon=true

@Hanna Lee

Please make sure the execute endpoint is using port 8050. You can find this in Yarn configs under yarn.resourcemanager.address. This port can be 8032 on some nodes, but I think sandbox uses 8050. Once you have the right port, please restart falcon and try submitting cluster again. The restart is required because there could be a stale FileSystem object in Falcon server.

Thank you! After I changed the execute port to 8032, I passed the step to validate a yarn resource manager.

But I still have a problem. I got a error message while I make the Locations. Here are the information what I write on falcon web UI and the falcon.application.log message.

On my external cluster, I made these two staging/working directory with ambari-qa user.

<Locations Information on Falcon web UI>

staging: /user/falcon/sbpRndCluster/staging

temp: /tmp

working: /user/falcon/sbpRndCluster/working

The working and staging dir should have the following permissions.

hadoop fs -chown -R falcon /user/falcon/sbpRndCluster/

hadoop fs -chmod -R 777 /user/falcon/sbpRndCluster/staging

hadoop fs -chmod -R 755 /user/falcon/sbpRndCluster/working

Once you set these permissions, submitting cluster should be straightforward. When you see errors like "Unable to validate the location with path: /apps/falcon/primaryCluster/staging for cluster:sbpRndCluster due to transient failures", can you please share the logs from falcon.application.log, this will give us more information about what is happening.

[#5]

When I set up new external cluster on HDP sandbox, readonly/write/execute path is new cluster info but workflow, message path is sandbox info. Among external cluster and sandbox cluster, where can I make staging/temp/working directory?

[#6]

And Falcon is only installed on sandbox, now my cluster.

I solved the problem!! I added the property "hadoop.proxyuser.falcon.groups", "hadoop.proxyuser.falcon.hosts" on my external cluster core-stie.xml.
