When your first post titled "Ambari-server start error" was caught by the spam filter, you created a second post with the same content.   I approved one of them so we didn't have duplicate questions on the board.   I am unsure why your posts were flagged as spam.  Our Community Admins are still tuning the spam filter rules after merging into the Unified Cloudera Community.   Our moderators will get posts out of spam quarantine as quickly as we are able.  I apologize again for the inconvenience.   ...

Since you were able to access the Cloudera repo, you should be able to install the Oracle JDK on the agent with:     sudo apt-get install oracle-j2sdk1.8   If that does not work, you can install it with the instructions under Manually Installing OpenJDK   When starting, the agent looks through common paths for JDKs and will select the Oracle 1.8 JDK first if it finds it.   If you would prefer to use OpenJDK on all the systems, in Cloudera Manager navigate to Hosts > Hosts Configuration and set the Java Home Directory to your preferred JAVA_HOME. ...

The log shows the Cloudera repo is being installed, but the 'apt-get update' does not show the cloudera-manager repo being referenced.   Because the cloudera-manager rep is not indexed, the attempt to install the cloudera-manager-agent fails.   Could you check that the repo file "cloudera-manager.list" was correctly installed by the script.  I believe it would be located under /etc/apt/sources.list.d.   Also check that your system can reach archive.cloudera.com (the repo is under http://archive.cloudera.com/cm6/) and is not blocked by corporate, cloud, or local firewall rules. ...

To begin with, my explanation will cover the case that you are using simple authentication and the default Hadoop group mappings. Hadoop does not use uid or gid. You username on the system is passed to the namenode when you make a client call. hadoop fs -ls / If your username is 'bob', the NameNode will receive the string "bob" to identify you. If your username is 'hdfs', the NameNode will receive the string "hdfs" to identify you. User and Group lookups are done by the NameNode. The default for the property hadoop.security.group.mapping is org.apache.hadoop.security.ShellBasedUnixGroupsMapping, which means a username passed with an HDFS client API will do the equivalent of "id -Gn " on the NameNode host. On the host running the NameNode, use the standard unix commands to assign users to groups. $ sudo usermod -G developer Peter You only need to define the group membership on the NameNode's host operating system. Now if a user named 'Peter' exists on any other system configured as an HDFS client, they will still be considered part of the "developer" group by HDFS. "hdfs groups " is a handy command you can run to see if a user belongs to a group in HDFS Create your directory in HDFS: hadoop fs -mkdir /projects/only/developers hadoop fs -chown anyuser:developers /projects/only/developers hadoop fs -chmod 775 /projects/only/developers Your directory is now writable by anyone in the group "developers" as defined on the NameNode. ...
