Can you more elaborate on "Hostname tied to the actual IP address?" and "Use "ifconfig -a" to see a listing of your network interfaces and choose one that has an actual IP address."   How do I know which hostname and ip address to use. Because while installing single node cluster of cloudera how would you know which hosts to specify?   Thank you! ... View more

Hi,   to read data in avro format from Hive you have to use an Avro SerDe. Maybe a good starting point will be http://www.michael-noll.com/blog/2013/07/04/using-avro-in-mapreduce-jobs-with-hadoop-pig-hive/   But this is not related to this topic since the solr sink will put data into Solr. I'd suggest to use just a HDFS sink to put your data on HDFS and create an (external or not) Hive table afterwards. You do not need Solr and/or Morphlines for this.   best, Gerd ... View more

@herdrick: no it's actually just fine to do it in the order Harsh mentioned.  CM will automatically deploy the configurations you specify on the Configuration tab of a service to that service's roles when you restart the service.  For example, if you modify a datanode specific property in CM, save the change and restart the service, then all the datanodes will get new copies of their hdfs-site.xml files upon startup.  The only reason to deploy the client configs that Harsh mentioned is for external client apps that want to utilize the cluster.  If you made changes that will affect the behavior of clients, then the client configs need to be re-deployed.  This can happen after the services are restarted, but before you attempt to reconnect to the cluster with your client app.  I hope that clears it up.   Clint ...

Above problem has been solved by adding hbase.jar in /usr/lib/hadoop/lib & add some jar files like hive-hbase-handler.jar, hbase.jar, guava.jar, zookeeper.jar, hive-contrib.jar in auxpth in hive-site.xml..   Thanks Surbhi ... View more
