Re: "free trial key"…If you're just looking to evaluate a data platform, you can currently do so without a valid Cloudera subscription by downloading and installing the Trial Version of CDP Private Cloud Base Edition of Cloudera Data Platform .

ask_bill_brooks · ‎05-09-2021

Hi @Sam_38 The simplest explanation is that you are now being required to submit credentials in order to add a new node because you have your Cloudera express installation configured to retrieve files from one of Cloudera's repositories. This past February, Cloudera changed the download location and made CDH, including versions prior to 6.3.3, exclusively available from a private repository. Please see the announcement here: Transition to private repositories for CDH, HDP and HDF. If your organization already has a valid Cloudera subscription, please do read that announcement in full, as there are links in it to documentation on how to upgrade your installation of Cloudera Manager to deal with the repository location change. If you don't already have a valid Cloudera subscription, you now have two options: Acquire a valid Cloudera subscription. Remove your existing installation's dependency on Cloudera's repository for obtaining files when you add a node to the cluster. You can pursue the first option by contacting the Cloudera Sales Team to initiate the process of obtaining a subscription. The second option involves reconfiguring your installation of Cloudera manager to obtain files from a repository local to your site instead of Cloudera's, as discussed in this thread.

Hi @Vallanon Cloudera Express was discontinued over a year ago now, please see the announcement here: Cloudera Enterprise 6.3.3 Released …scroll down to the subsection Important Note About Cloudera Express. The most pertinent sentence is this one: Beginning with release 6.3.3, Cloudera Express has been discontinued and is no longer available. Some folks interpreted the first part of that sentence to mean that versions of CDH prior to 6.3.3 (such as 6.3.2) would be safe to download with no subscription agreement going forward. The most important part is the last bit, is no longer available. As you seem to be aware, this past February, Cloudera clarified (or changed, if you prefer) the download location and only made CDH, including versions prior to 6.3.3, only available from a private repository. Please see the announcement here: Transition to private repositories for CDH, HDP and HDF. This announcement effectively superseded the February 2020 announcement. If you want to attempt to obtain a Cloudera Subscription, you are welcome to contact the Cloudera Sales Team to find out more about subscription options, but If you're honestly just looking to evaluate a data platform, you can currently do so without an existing valid Cloudera subscription by downloading and installing the Trial Version of CDP Private Cloud Base Edition of Cloudera Data Platform, which is much more up-to-date and complete than CDH 6.3.2.

@PURUSHOTHAMAN_S Your question was asked and answered recently, here: Re: SCP file transfer between Hortonworks Sandbox to Windows local host

ask_bill_brooks · ‎05-02-2021

Hi @Saketh If you are new to the HDP Sandbox and you don't understand what @Daming Xue is referring to, I highly recommend you review the tutorial Learning the Ropes of the HDP Sandbox and specifically the subsection Map Sandbox IP to Your Desired Hostname in the Hosts File as the procedure is described in detail there.

ask_bill_brooks · ‎05-02-2021

Hi @ghost28 Hopefully you are aware that earlier this year, Cloudera modified its policies and the binaries you are seeking to download are now only available in a private repository. If not, please see the announcement here: Transition to private repositories for CDH, HDP and HDF The credentials to access this private repository are not generally the same ones you use to access Cloudera's website or the Cloudera community. To access the binaries via the private repository, you must first have an active subscription agreement with Cloudera. You can read more about how to obtain the credentials necessary to access the private repository here: Obtain Credentials

ask_bill_brooks · ‎04-30-2021

Hi @swapko The key question you should answer before proceeding is: Do you have a valid Cloudera subscription? The reason I ask that is because I think this is the key part of the error message you are encountering: nested exception is java.lang.RuntimeException: Upgrade not allowed in Express or Trial mode Cloudera Express was discontinued over a year ago now, please see the announcement here: Cloudera Enterprise 6.3.3 Released …scroll down to the subsection Important Note About Cloudera Express. The part that is most relevant, I think, to your specific error message is this one: Upgrades to Cloudera Manager 6.3.3 or CDH 6.3.3 and higher are not supported while running Cloudera Express. A valid Cloudera Enterprise or CDP license must be in place before upgrading to Cloudera Manager 6.3.3 or 7.x, or the upgrade will not be completed. This also applies to trial installations of Cloudera Enterprise and CDP Data Center. So, when you say that you "tried upgrading to CM 7.3.1", I think the constraints on upgrading to a version of Cloudera Manager more recent than 6.3.3 are probably ensuring that your efforts are bound to fail if you attempt to do that upgrade while running a previous version of Cloudera Express. If you do not have a valid subscription, obtaining one should be the first thing you ensure you have, so you can begin the process running a licensed version of Cloudera Enterprise and therefore eliminate that uncertainty.

ask_bill_brooks · ‎04-19-2021

Hi @emeric The community team has reached out to our sales contacts who indicated they would contact you.

ask_bill_brooks · ‎04-18-2021

@Frosty , Perhaps another member of the community will recognize this specific problem with the Sandbox deployed on VirtualBox and respond in this thread. While you are waiting, I'd recommend you review the tutorial Learning the Ropes of the HDP Sandbox and specifically Appendix B: Troubleshoot as there are some specific tips for VirtualBox that may be helpful to you. Also, you didn't mention how much RAM you have allocated, an inadequate amount of RAM could be a hinderance.

ask_bill_brooks · ‎04-16-2021

Hi @JakeFullLove I haven't personally attempted it recently, but some members of the cloudera community have reported success building and deploying Apache Ambari from source code, which is readily available from Apache's website or any number of mirrors.

ask_bill_brooks · ‎04-13-2021

Hi @Hemamalini Just to expand a bit on what @Daming Xue wrote above, the reason your username and password are probably not working is because you're not using the correct set of credentials. The credentials to access the private repository where Cloudera is now distributing previous versions of Ambari are not are not generally the same ones to access Cloudera's website or the Cloudera community. People with a valid Cloudera subscription can obtain their repository credentials by opening a non-technical case within the support portal. If your organization does not already have a valid Cloudera subscription, then you'll have to begin that process by contacting the Cloudera Sales Team to find out more about subscription options.

ask_bill_brooks · ‎04-13-2021

Hi @wongss The documentation you quoted is simply saying that if your organization already has a valid Cloudera subscription, you should reach out to the person who has been designated Cloudera's contact person, because that person would have an email message previously sent from Cloudera with the authentication credentials. If that registered support contact does not have the message from Cloudera with the credentials, then they can open a non-technical case to obtain the credentials. If your organization does not already have a valid Cloudera subscription, then you'll have to begin that process by contacting the Cloudera Sales Team to find out more about subscription options. If you're just looking to evaluate a data platform, you can currently do so without an existing valid Cloudera subscription by downloading and installing the Trial Version of CDP Private Cloud Base Edition of Cloudera Data Platform

ask_bill_brooks · ‎04-12-2021

Hi @swapko The short answer is: you don't. There is no "cloudera manager 7.3.1 express version" available. Cloudera Express was discontinued over a year ago now, please see the announcement here: Cloudera Enterprise 6.3.3 Released …scroll down to the subsection Important Note About Cloudera Express

ask_bill_brooks · ‎04-09-2021

@AI99 Your concerns are well founded. I don't think I can offer any generally applicable advice on whether or not you will, at some unspecified point in the future, be able to scale up any clusters that you currently have deployed with the same public repo links or if you will encounter problems. That depends on how you have said cluster configured and how you set your cluster up to respond to the addition of nodes when you installed it or last updated the configuration. Because of the aforementioned change in location, you should not assume that a configuration of your cluster which depends upon being able to retrieve any files from Cloudera's repositories without a valid Cloudera subscription will continue to meet your needs. With regard to your inquiry about the current packages that Cloudera is offering and the pricing for them, your single best approach would be to contact the Cloudera Sales Team to find out more about subscription options.

ask_bill_brooks · ‎04-08-2021

Hi again, @AI99 You're probably unable to access the Ambari and HDP repository on Cloudera's site because earlier this year, those assets were moved to a private repository. I've provided a more detailed answer to the rest of your question previously, here: Re: Hortonworks Repositories can't be accessed

ask_bill_brooks · ‎04-08-2021

Hello @AI99 , I would refer you to the announcement I linked to earlier in this very thread, Transition to private repositories for CDH, HDP and HDF because it has a section labeled Installing/upgrading Ambari & HDP via Cloudera's private repository that in turn has links to extensive documentation on how to download and install Ambari and HDP. It also features links to all the details required to update your environment and how to obtain the credentials necessary to access Cloudera's private repositories, which now contain all new and existing releases. The credentials to access this private repository are not generally the same ones to access Cloudera's website or the Cloudera community. Instead, people with a valid Cloudera subscription can generate repository credentials from a license key, and there is a link in the same announcement I mentioned above which explains how to initiate the process for obtaining that license key.

ask_bill_brooks · ‎04-05-2021

Hi @Narendra_ I think you can gain insight into the current situation by reading these threads where questions similar to yours were asked and previously answered: Getting error "Cannot use the specified Ambari stack: StackRepoDetails{stack='HDP-2.6'; utils='HDP-UTILS-1.1.0.22'}. Error: Authorization Access error while downloading ambari repo for RHEL 6 Ambari moved to private cloud need installation help

ask_bill_brooks · ‎04-05-2021

Hi @kashyapbhav The server archive.cloudera.com is prompting you for authentication, which is now required. Earlier this year, Cloudera changed the location of CDH binaries and associated assets, and now to download CDH parcels, etc. from Cloudera's repositories you need a valid subscription. Please see the announcement here: Transition to private repositories for CDH, HDP and HDF. If you have a valid Cloudera Subscription, you can obtain your credentials for downloading CDH 5.x following directions outlined here: Obtain Credentials

ask_bill_brooks · ‎04-04-2021

Hi @TonyDi , I think I can help clarify things at least a little bit. Cloudera Express was discontinued over a year ago now, please see the announcement here: Cloudera Enterprise 6.3.3 Released …scroll down to the subsection Important Note About Cloudera Express. In that announcement, (see the subheading Important Note About Installation), Cloudera wrote: Beginning with Cloudera Manager 6.3.3 and CDH 6.3.3, downloading the software will require a valid Cloudera Enterprise license file and/or a username and password obtained from Cloudera. All Cloudera Manager package, CDH parcel and CDH package repositories now require authentication with valid credentials to access any version labeled 6.3.3 or higher. Some folks interpreted this last sentence to mean that versions of CDH prior to 6.3.3 would be free to download with no subscription agreement going forward. This turned out to not be the case, as just this last February, Cloudera relocated (or changed, if you prefer) the download location and only made CDH and CDH-related assets, including versions prior to 6.3.3, only available from a private repository. Please see the announcement here: Transition to private repositories for CDH, HDP and HDF. Now, to download any version of CDH or CDH-related assets you need a valid subscription. This announcement effectively superseded the February 2020 announcement, and perhaps the fact that both announcements are available on the web with no annotation indicating that the latter is more recent and overrides the former is confusing, but I don't read them as contradictory. I can't speak to whether someone having a mirror of the Cloudera archive from when it was public is in violation of the license or not, so I'll leave that aspect of your question to other members of the community to answer. I have not seen any official document that addresses that specific question.

ask_bill_brooks · ‎04-03-2021

Hi @Phantom Yes, earlier in 2021, Cloudera moved binary releases of CDH to a private repository so now to download any CDH binary releases (or to upgrade using Cloudera’s repositories as a source for Cloudera Manager to access the upgrade files) you need a valid subscription. Please see the announcement here: Transition to private repositories for CDH, HDP and HDF

ask_bill_brooks · ‎03-30-2021

Hi @vishal_ Cloudera Express is no longer available, please see the announcement here: Cloudera Enterprise 6.3.3 Released …and scroll down to the section titled Important Note About Cloudera Express. With regard to your other questions, "how do I get the enterprise edition with the credentials. And what will be the cost for it", you can see answers to those two questions in this recent thread: Hadoop vendors. What @Daming Xue wrote above will be your best option if you're looking for a trial of an up-to-date Hadoop distribution.

ask_bill_brooks · ‎03-26-2021

Hi @emeric You are receiving these messages because earlier this year, Cloudera modified its policies and the binaries you are seeking to download are now only available in private repositories. Please see the announcement here: Transition to private repositories for CDH, HDP and HDF There is no simple, single dollar amount for the cost of a subscription because the price can differ depending upon the environment you're deploying into and what features you want to purchase. You can find out the cost of a Cloudera subscription (which would be required for downloading HDP as well) by contacting sales, via this page: Contact us This is where you would start to obtain a license in order to generate a username and password which would allow you to download either older versions of CDH or the latest version. The credentials to access this private repository are not generally the same ones to access Cloudera's website or the Cloudera community. In order to gain access to this private repository, people with a valid Cloudera subscription can generate the necessary repository credentials from a CDH license key. The background and detailed procedure to obtain the necessary credentials can be found on this page: CDH 6 Download Information …scroll down to the section headed Authentication to the Cloudera Archive The difference between the Sandbox and Hortonworks Data Platform is that the former is a more self-contained, pre-configured, learning environment based on Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) that one can run on a single machine, if desired. Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) is a full distribution of Hadoop and various Hadoop ecosystem projects that's intended for deployment on a cluster of machines. Both HDP and CDH have been superseded, in terms of being up-to-date on the included software components, by Cloudera Data Platform (CDP). You can download a trial of CDP Private Cloud base here:Trial Version CDP Private Cloud

ask_bill_brooks · ‎03-18-2021

Hi @balo Cloudera recently changed the download policy and now to download Ambari (and/or HDP) you need a valid subscription. Please see the announcement here: Transition to private repositories for CDH, HDP and HDF Toward the middle of that announcement, you will see a paragraph that begins "The links below provide all the details required to update your environment" which explains the credentials and how to properly obtain them if you don't have them already.

ask_bill_brooks · ‎03-11-2021

Hello @vkrish Yes, Cloudera recently changed the download policy and now to download Cloudera Manager and CDH 6 from Cloudera's repositories you need a valid subscription. Please see the announcement here: Transition to private repositories for CDH, HDP and HDF As far as a product evaluation for PoC, etc. you are welcome to download the current product, CDP Private Cloud Base for those purposes.

ask_bill_brooks · ‎03-11-2021

Hi @gracenote Yes, Cloudera recently changed the download policy and HDP and Ambari binaries and associated files are now only available from a private repository. Now to download Ambari and HDP from Cloudera's repositories you need a valid subscription. Please see the announcement here: Transition to private repositories for CDH, HDP and HDF If you are not yet a customer and interested in obtaining a subscription to any Cloudera Product, the first step would be to contact the Cloudera sales team.

ask_bill_brooks · ‎03-08-2021

Hello @vmettu You can obtain the subscription pricing details by contacting Cloudera sales using the form provided here: https://www.cloudera.com/contact-sales.html and a sales person will get in touch with you.

ask_bill_brooks · ‎03-07-2021

@nadinebh I recommend you keep reading the available documentation. The Hortonworks Sandbox is somewhat dated by now, but can still be a useful pre-configured version of Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) for exploration and learning that you can run in the cloud or on your personal machine. Docker is one popular way to support running the Sandbox. There's an extensive set of tutorials on running the HDP Sandbox starting here: Learning the Ropes of the HDP Sandbox The HDP Sandbox comes with Ambari and a fairly complete HDP "stack", including Hive and Spark. You can confirm which versions by reading the HDP release notes. For example, here are the Apache versions of all the HDP 3.0.1 components (the version of HDP will vary with the various releases of the HDP Sandbox): Hortonworks Data Platform - Component Versions As far as downloading the complete HDP Distribution and installing it on one PC running centos7 using Ambari, if you are a beginner, that will be quite challenging for a number of reasons. Before you go too far down that road be sure to read and understand the recent announcement regarding the availability of Ambari and HDP from Cloudera's public repositories here: Transition to private repositories for CDH, HDP and HDF

ask_bill_brooks · ‎03-04-2021

Hi @pkishor Yes, Apache Ambari "is a completely open source management platform for provisioning, managing, monitoring and securing Apache Hadoop clusters", licensed under the open source Apache License. My understanding is that any source code contributions that Cloudera has made to Ambari are always contributed back to Apache and can therefore be obtained from Apache's source code repository if they can't be retrieved from Cloudera's. Some members of the Cloudera Community have reported success building or upgrading Ambari themselves from source. When you write that you "used to be able to download freely from public repo but not now", that is because in the early months of 2021 Cloudera modified its download policies and the binaries are now only available in a private repository. Please see the announcement here: Transition to private repositories for CDH, HDP and HDF However this change in how Cloudera makes binaries available doesn't change the fact that Ambari is an open source project licensed under the the open source Apache License. According to the Frequently Asked Questions list, Is source code behind the paywall? No. Currently, only the binaries are secured behind the paywall.

ask_bill_brooks · ‎03-03-2021

Hi @prasanna06 Hopefully you are aware that in the space of the last few months, Cloudera modified its download policies and the binaries you are seeking to download are now only available in a private repository. If not, please see the announcement here: Transition to private repositories for CDH, HDP and HDF The credentials to access this private repository are not generally the same ones to access Cloudera's website or the Cloudera community. In order to gain access to this private repository, people with a valid Cloudera subscription can generate the necessary repository credentials from a CDH license key. The background and detailed procedure to obtain the necessary credentials can be found on this page: CDH 6 Download Information …scroll down to the section headed Authentication to the Cloudera Archive

ask_bill_brooks · ‎02-27-2021

Hi @tuanngoc From an important announcement earlier this month, Transition to private repositories for CDH, HDP and HDF: …beginning in February 2021, no versions of Cloudera Manager, CDH, Apache Ambari, HDP and HDF releases will be available via Cloudera's public repositories. Instead, all of the then-currently supported releases of Cloudera Manager, CDH, Ambari, HDP and HDF will be accessible only to active customers with valid subscription entitlements to these Cloudera products. The upshot is that If you want to continue retrieving HDP from Cloudera's repositories you will have to have a valid Cloudera Subscription.
