Ah, yes. I should have been clearer in my wording. I meant the VM itself. 🙂   ... View more

Hi,   I am seeing a similar kind of issue on my namenode servers. When I tried to restart my namenode, it failed initially with permission issues on /data1/dfs/nn. The group identifier didn't exist in the list of groups I had. So, I changed the permissions on the /data1/dfs/nn and restarted it. This fixed the issue with /data1/dfs/nn but later starting throwing similar kind of errors with /data2/dfs/nn. I repeated the same steps on /data2/dfs/nn hoping that this will fix the issue.But no luck. For the same name node, why is it different for the data dirs. Any pointers ? ... View more

My understanding is that the Quickstart VM will not change the icon and it will remain with the new wording. The only changes will be to the download page and other documentation that reference launching Cloudera Manager in the VM. You only need to use those icons if you wish to use Cloudera Manager otherwise you simply use CDH manually. Here is a page explaining the differences between Cloudera Express and Cloudera Enterprise. Keep in mind that the Cloudera Enterprise icon only e nables the additional features for a trial period. If you only need to use Cloudera Manager the Cloudera Express route is your most likely route.   Also keep in mind that when using Cloudera Manager there is a greater need for resources to be allocated to the VM to handle it. You can read about it in the How to setup a Cloudera Quickstart Virtual Machine article. ... View more
