Using Altus Director 6.2.1 to deploy CDH cluster to Azure via command line using bootstrap-remote.   Per the Cloudera documentation,  I added the following in my cluster bootstrap file in the base instance template:   image: /subscriptions/f5300b4d-bebc-4d95-8b6c-4ea77d9b3423/resourceGroups/Packer/providers/Microsoft.Compute/images/cloudera-packerbake-36.0.55 useCustomManagedImage: Yes customImagePlan: "" managedDisks: Yes   There is no purchase plan associated with the image, so I left blank per your documentation.   Deployment fails with the following error:   ValidationExceptionCondition{scope='azure.com.cloudera.director.azure.compute.provider.AzureComputeProvider.template', key='Optional.of(image)', exceptionInfo='ErrorInfo{code=PROVIDER_EXCEPTION, properties={message=Image '/subscriptions/f5300b4d-bebc-4d95-8b6c-4ea77d9b3423/resourceGroups/Packer/providers/Microsoft.Compute/images/cloudera-packerbake-36.0.55' is referencing a Custom Image but not all required fields are set.

I've read the known issues for Hue in the Altus Director 6.2 docs, however according to the information in the docs, this shouldn't be applicable to CM6.2 and CentOS 7.6.  I'm seeing the following error when Hue attempts to start during the cluster's firstrun phase:   /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-6.2.0-1.cdh6.2.0.p0.967373/lib/hue/build/env/bin/hue makemigrations --noinput Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-6.2.0-1.cdh6.2.0.p0.967373/lib/hue/build/env/bin/hue", line 9, in <module> from pkg_resources import load_entry_point File "/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-6.2.0-1.cdh6.2.0.p0.967373/lib/hue/build/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3191, in <module> @_call_aside File "/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-6.2.0-1.cdh6.2.0.p0.967373/lib/hue/build/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3175, in _call_aside f(*args, **kwargs) File "/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-6.2.0-1.cdh6.2.0.p0.967373/lib/hue/build/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3204, in _initialize_master_working_set working_set = WorkingSet._build_master() File "/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-6.2.0-1.cdh6.2.0.p0.967373/lib/hue/build/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 574, in _build_master ws = cls() File "/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-6.2.0-1.cdh6.2.0.p0.967373/lib/hue/build/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 567, in __init__ self.add_entry(entry) File "/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-6.2.0-1.cdh6.2.0.p0.967373/lib/hue/build/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 623, in add_entry for dist in find_distributions(entry, True): File "/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-6.2.0-1.cdh6.2.0.p0.967373/lib/hue/build/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2033, in find_on_path for dist in factory(fullpath): File "/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-6.2.0-1.cdh6.2.0.p0.967373/lib/hue/build/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2095, in distributions_from_metadata if len(os.listdir(path)) == 0: OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/wrapt-1.11.1.dist-info' + /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-6.2.0-1.cdh6.2.0.p0.967373/lib/hue/build/env/bin/hue migrate --fake-initial Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-6.2.0-1.cdh6.2.0.p0.967373/lib/hue/build/env/bin/hue", line 9, in <module> from pkg_resources import load_entry_point File "/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-6.2.0-1.cdh6.2.0.p0.967373/lib/hue/build/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3191, in <module> @_call_aside File "/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-6.2.0-1.cdh6.2.0.p0.967373/lib/hue/build/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3175, in _call_aside f(*args, **kwargs) File "/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-6.2.0-1.cdh6.2.0.p0.967373/lib/hue/build/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3204, in _initialize_master_working_set working_set = WorkingSet._build_master() File "/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-6.2.0-1.cdh6.2.0.p0.967373/lib/hue/build/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 574, in _build_master ws = cls() File "/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-6.2.0-1.cdh6.2.0.p0.967373/lib/hue/build/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 567, in __init__ self.add_entry(entry) File "/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-6.2.0-1.cdh6.2.0.p0.967373/lib/hue/build/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 623, in add_entry for dist in find_distributions(entry, True): File "/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-6.2.0-1.cdh6.2.0.p0.967373/lib/hue/build/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2033, in find_on_path for dist in factory(fullpath): File "/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-6.2.0-1.cdh6.2.0.p0.967373/lib/hue/build/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2095, in distributions_from_metadata if len(os.listdir(path)) == 0: OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/wrapt-1.11.1.dist-info'     Update:   I "solved" this by updating the site-package permissions under /usr/lib /usr/lib64, as they were locked down to root.  If I were to guess, some modules were pip installed without the -u switch, locking down access to root only.  I assume this should be handled by the deployment scripts when preparing the cluster nodes.   ...

I would like some clarification on the reported deprecation of the Director client's "standalone" functionality in version 2.8 and beyond.   We currently use Cloudera Director 2.7 to bootstrap client environments.  To do this, we use the standalone client on Jenkins to execute the bootstrap-remote command, which makes a call out to our Director server.  We would like to continue using Jenkins because our Cloudera deployments are simply part of the multi-stage client deployment job.    Will the bootstrap-remote option be removed in future releases as part of this deprecation? ...
