I downloaded the 5.12x Quickstart VM and I think I am having issues...   I have my VM running on Windows Host... and VM configured for 4 CPU and 10 GB of RAM with 100GB of Virtual Storage...   I started the VM and it appears all the services started fine ( I see 'OK' during the startup)...   I typed 'hive' on the terminal and I see 'hive' prompt showing up.   I clicked on the 'Launch Cloudera Express' link... The services are shutdown and started...   But, when I type 'Hive' again (after the services have started) 'Hive' would provide 'Connection Refused' exception to the 8820 port...   I open the Cloudera Manager page in browser and I see HDFS, Hive etc many services have grey circle on the left (says 'Stopped')...    It appears something wrong with the startup script (or do I need to manually start all the services - defeats the purpose, I suppose,  if this is the case)   Please advise... Thanks. ... View more

It appears Cloudera doesn't care about the 'developer' community who use their personal machine to get familiar with Cloudera software... AWS is an expensive option for an Individual to get and obviously Cloudera is a 'Big Enterprise' now and choose to take the 'I don't care' route I suppose... Even today, I can download older versoins of Java versions... VMs are large files and downloaded files could get deleted accidently or incidentally or corrupted and at times people need to go back to their older version for continuity... Really Bad on Cloudera part !!! ... View more

I don't understand why Cloudera wouldn't provide an archive link? If the person doesn't have the capability to use the latest... He could use the old one at least.. This is totally unacceptable... !!! ... View more

You mark this as solved ... But, that is not correct. It is not solved...   We understand Cloudera Training provides all the necessary information for this exam...    Any certification should provide study materials...   Especially when the training is not mandatory and also for those who don't want to take an expensive training (not all will be able to take it) and may want to use a study material and do the hands-on on their own to get this certification...   It will be great If Cloudera could provide a study material (paid one) for this course (I am not talking about a free study material)...    Thanks. ...
