Hi @emeric  You are receiving these messages because earlier this year, Cloudera modified its policies and the binaries you are seeking to download are now only available in private repositories. Please see the announcement here: Transition to private repositories for CDH, HDP and HDF   There is no simple, single dollar amount for the cost of a subscription because the price can differ depending upon the environment you're deploying into and what features you want to purchase. You can find out the cost of a Cloudera subscription (which would be required for downloading HDP as well) by contacting sales, via this page: Contact us   This is where you would start to obtain a license in order to generate a username and password which would allow you to download either older versions of CDH or the latest version. The credentials to access this private repository are not generally the same ones to access Cloudera's website or the Cloudera community. In order to gain access to this private repository, people with a valid Cloudera subscription can generate the necessary repository credentials from a CDH license key. The background and detailed procedure to obtain the necessary credentials can be found on this page: CDH 6 Download Information …scroll down to the section headed Authentication to the Cloudera Archive   The difference between the Sandbox and Hortonworks Data Platform is that the former is a more self-contained, pre-configured, learning environment based on Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) that one can run on a single machine, if desired. Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) is a full distribution of Hadoop and various Hadoop ecosystem projects that's intended for deployment on a cluster of machines.   Both HDP and CDH have been superseded, in terms of being up-to-date on the included software components, by Cloudera Data Platform (CDP). You can download a trial of CDP Private Cloud base here:Trial Version CDP Private Cloud     ... View more

Well, then it depends on what part of the CDH stack you are connecting to the Oracle database and how. Once you know that, you can start by taking a look at the release notes for the appropriate connector, and checking if the version of CDH is still compatible with the driver or connector that will work with the the new Oracle DB version.       ...

Hi @shri  The server archive.cloudera.com is returning an HTTP 401 error because authentication is required. You didn't provide a whole lot of detail about how you went about adding the new host to your cluster, but I would guess that the last time you attempted this operation, you were not challenged for authentication by this particular host at Cloudera and so you're wondering what changed recently.   The answer is probably that your installation of Cloudera Manager isn't set up to supply the authentication credentials. At the tail end of last month, Cloudera changed the download policy and now to download CDH parcels, etc. from Cloudera's repositories you need a valid subscription. Please see the announcement here: Transition to private repositories for CDH, HDP and HDF.   The same announcement describes new patch releases of Cloudera Manager, which are now required to access Cloudera’s private repositories, which now contain the new and legacy releases and other assets such as those necessary to add a new host to an existing CDH cluster.     ...

Hello @MiamiDataEng    Yes, Cloudra is no longer making that version of the Cloudera Quickstart VM available for download because it was old and outdated as it was based on CDH 5.13, which went out of support in the Fall of last year. To give you a sense of what I mean, CDH 5.16.2, which came out in the Spring of 2019 (and was more up-to-date than CDH 5.13), included Apache Impala 2.12. CDP Private Cloud Base version 7.1.3, which was released in the Fall of 2020, includes Apache Impala 3.4.0, and includes more new features and bug fixes.   The label on your question indicated you're interested in Cloudera Data Platform. You should be aware, then, that there is extensive and thorough documentation on installing the CDP Private Cloud Base Edition of Cloudera Data Platform (the "free trial" for which expires after 60 days) on a non-production environment for demonstration and proof-of-concept use cases, however it looks to me like this is intended for multi-host clusters of machines. You might not have such a group of machines available to you, and for economic reasons, might want to avoid creating such a cluster using a cloud service provider's IaaS facilities.   Alternatively, if you're already familiar with Virtualbox and Vagrant, you might consider @carrossoni's community article outlining how to create a Centos7 CDP-DC Trial VM for sandbox/learning purposes.    Hope this helps.        ...
