@Abdelkrim Hadjidj that is interesting. I found more info on solr jdbc connection here. ... View more

@rkovacs that totally makes sense. however if I setup local repos like you showed, can cloudbreak (outside of the deployer stuff you explained above) launch a cluster without internet connection? ... View more

@Sami Ahmad Why are you change the core-site.xml? you need to update the permissions on the directory which should solve you issue as i have identified. it is trying to access that directory as it may be the default directory based on what is set on your hive.metastore.warehouse.dir. I suggest you update the file permissions and revert any changes on core-site.xml. Post what happens after you have done this. ... View more

@rkovacs well there you go! Nice. so this solves 1 of 2. the second part is does cloudbreak reach out to any other public ips for any activity? basically if i create a VPC and harden the security group to have zero access to any public IP will the cluster launch and be usable? I guess I can test this as well. ... View more

@rkovacs forgive me I am not following you. I don't see any option during a cluster deployment via cloudbreak to have ambari use local repos. Where may I find more (and clear) instructions on deploying a cluster via cloudbreak, configuring cluster to use local (not fetching repos) repos? what does this mean: "Cloudbreak writes the configured repo next to Ambari if there is, and Ambari does the install on it's own way." ...
