@cjervis Very good news and thanks much for sharing the happy moment with us! Waiting for the update!! I have went through the FAQ about new repuation program... looks very interesting! Still I am not 100% clear about my current/existing reputation. I have contributed to Cloudera Community for 2.5 years with more than 500+ posts and received Champion award for the year 2017. But unfortunately not able to contribute in recent days (since Jan-2019) due to my new role/technologies and some additional works... Hope I can re-start my contribution in couple of months... Now my question is, Does my reputation still valid after you roll out a new reputation system? or all my effort will be voiding? Please clarify ... View more

@DanielWhite   I had the similar issue long back and below was my findings   Please check the owner of HDFS folder/files for the corresponding db that you are trying to delete. if you are the owner and trying to delete the table/db from hive/impala, it will delete both metadata and hdfs file/folder. Whereas you are not the owner of hdfs folder/file but got an access in hive/impala to manage data and trying to delete it, it will just delete the metadata but not the underlined folder/files from hdfs   pls try this with a sample db/table for more understanding ...

@mdjedaini   There is nothing to do with cloudera on this request as there are so many other tools are available in the market. I am not sure how big your environment. In general, those who are using big environments with huge nodes will use some tools like Chef, Puppet, Terraform, Ansible, etc to achieve your requirement (for cloud there are another different set of tools like Cloudformation, etc)   In high level, you can divide them into two category: Push and Pull based a. Tools like Puppet and Chef are pull based. Agent/Client on the server periodically checks for the configuration information from central server(master) b. Ansible is Push based. Central server pushes the configuration information on target servers. You control when the changes are made on the servers     ... View more
