@ryu  My advice is just don't attempt because the HDP software is closely wired. Vigorous unit testing and compatibility are implemented before certifying a version. HDP is a packaged software when you update it's either all or none, you can't update only a component except Ambari  and the underlying databases for hive,oozie,ranger etc  Yes, the old good days of real open source is gone.I loved HWX  If you are running production clusters then you definitely need to a subscription Hope that helps ...

@totti1  You will need to copy the hdfs/core-site.xml to a local path accessible to your windows. And you will need to update your host's file entry to make the VM reachable from the windows machine.  You should be able to ping your vm from the windows machine and vice versa. Edit and change core-site.xml and hdfs-site.xml files and remove the FQDN:8020 to an IP ie for class C network like 192.168.10.201:8020 restart the processors and let me know. Hope that helps? ...

@totti1 Nifi cluste is not aware of your Hadoop cluster until you copy these 2 files from your cluster /etc/hadoop/conf/hdfs-site.xml or /etc/hadoop/conf/core-site.xml to your local nifi installation Hadoop configuration resources=/local/dir/hdfs-site.xml,/local/dir/core-site.xml look for any of these processor group for HDFS Hope that helps ...

@zetta4ever  In a Hadoop cluster, three types of nodes exist Master, Worker and edge nodes. The distinction of roles helps maintain efficiency. Master nodes control which nodes perform which tasks and what processes run on what nodes. The majority of work is assigned to worker nodes. Worker node store most of the data and perform most of the calculations Edge nodes aka gateway facilitate communications from end users to master and worker nodes. The 3 masternodes should have the Namenode[Active & Standby],YARN [Active & Standby], Zookeeper Quorum [3 masters] and the other component you intend to install and on the 6 worker node aka slave nodes you will install the Nodemanager,Datanodes and the all the clients. There is no need to install the client on the master nodes, Some nodes have important tasks, which may impact performance if interrupted. Edge nodes allow end-users to contact worker nodes when necessary, providing a network interface for the cluster without leaving the entire cluster open to communication. That limitation improves reliability and security. As work is evenly distributed between work nodes, the edge node’s role helps avoid data skewing and performance issues. See my document on edge node https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Support-Questions/Edge-node-or-utility-node-packages/td-p/202164# Hope that helps ... View more
