Hello All,
New to pretty much everything here, so please excuse my rookie-level explanation of my issue.
I've tried twice now to prepare a Cloudera instance using different sets of hardware for each attempt. Each time I attempt to complete the installation, I'm met with this zookeeper error (when it tries to run $> zookeeper/zk.sh ["init","--myid=1","ignoreExists"]:
Error found before invoking supervisord: 'getpwnam(): name not found: zookeeper'
As a result, nothing else starts.
The screen I'm working from is the "Cluster Setup - First Run Command" using Cloudera Manager. I've configured the "cloudera-scm" user as I don't run anything as root using this guide:
I'm following Install Path A using the guide here:
https://www.cloudera.com/documentation/enterprise/latest/topics/cm_ig_install_path_a.html
Near as I can tell, this is because the zookeeper user does not exist. I don't recall seeing a place to create this user during the install. I have saved all screenshots from my installation so I can reference those if you need them.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
