I have a cloudera cluster installed with the cloudera manager, server and agent RPMs, server and agents are all started up.

  Normally I'll use firefox/Chrome to connect to port 7180 of the cloudera server host, and then follow the configuration templates

to select cluster node, services, roles assignment, and finish configuration job.

But the question is: Is there a way for me to specify all the parameters in an input file, and then configure the cluster with command line tools, with the input file(s) as input?

Basically I'd like to configure a cluster automatically instead of interaction with Web UI. Any one can shed a light on this? Thanks.

Thanks a lot.
