Hi   See above [7-21-2014] where I said I tried VMWare Workstation instead of VMWare Player ... View more

OK, thanks. let me know via ... InMail? I do have some thoughts to see what you think of them. You are not QA yourself, but perhaps you can tell me something about how your own project works with QA. thanks again Fletcher ... View more

Darren -  this is off topic, of course, and I hope it's not out of line, but would you be willing to tell me something about working at Cloudera?  I dont know anyone yet, except the interviewer, who I found likable.  Just wondering about the daily life, particularly the QA culture there.  Could you contact me at flokey@metrocast.net, or through LinkedIn?  I wont become I pest, I promise.  And sign an NDA if you want   🙂   Fletcher ...

Thanks, I will probably find out soon. In fact I have a phone interview today, in about a half hour. And yes I am interested. I have been in QA the last several years for a GUI product that manages and monitors SAP's database products. SAP Control Center. Our offfice in Concord NH is being closed by the corporate guys - consolidating locations they call it. Our office is just too small for them. We dont know what to make of that, but there it is I have been looking around NH for openings, and this is far above any other in the interest level for me. And the match with the job description looks remarkable to me. Both CM and our SCC have a server and agents and supporting services, and Alerts and role-based access control and even the look and feel of it seems familiar. I feel like I can "see" what CM does with the backend. And the scripts and logs and xml files look like what I have worked with. And I found a bug .... or what I would consider a bug for SCC. If you go to Add Hosts to the Cluster, it lets you go through the wizard and add a host that already belongs to the cluster. ???!!! In SCC we would have a popup saying "That host is already in the cluster." Anyway I am truly hopeful ... View more

Darren - That's the issue.  My machine is not particularly slow - but it's an ordinary home PC - Intel i5 3GHz with 8gb of RAM.  I have assigned the VM to have 6gb, which I see now is pretty small.  Poor thing.   And you are an employee.  Could I ask a question?  the reason I am exploring CM is that I applied for the job as QA in Nashua.  I have been working QA for SAP for their SAP Control Center product, which has remarkable parallels to what I have seen in CM.  SCC is also a server with an agent and running a number of services, and both have UI’s for monitoring, configuring, and alerts, with role based access control.  And both are very very interesting, at least to me - I like that kind of stuff   What I would like to know is - what part of Cloudera does the Nashua office work on?  The UI?  The server side?   ...

sometimes just ....  who knows???   After quite a few minutes this time, I did get into CM.   And MANY minutes after that I have now finally got into Hue, using 8888 instead of the 8088 I found on various google sites.   In fact the whole VM has become very slow and sludgy today.      In any case, I am into Hue at last   Hope this is the end ....  or rather the beginning ...

oh dear   It took a while to build the cluster, even with just one node.  It was getting late but I stayed up, not wanting to leave before it was all done.  The Vmware has hung overnight more than once.   So I waited it out, and at the end it gave me the choice of setting up services so I chose the All option, which included Hue.  It did something called First Run, which bombed out about halfway, failed on something like couldnt find a file or some such.   So I went back into the UI and found the new cluster and selected to Add Service > Hue which completed successfully.  I looked online for what port to go to for Hue [it said it was running] and found 8088 but that didnt connect in firefox   At that point I did go to bed, and I shut down the VM as I have been doing to avoid hangs.   This morning I start it up and for the first time in the several days I have been playing with it, I cant connect to CM at 7180.   I restarted the VM, and verified that CM is running   [root@localhost ~]# service cloudera-scm-server start cloudera-scm-server is already running   so did something break when I did the cluster and added services???     ...

I'm such a noob.  I clicked my own post as the solution, whereas dlo deserves it   Thanks All! ... View more

Sometimes I go too fast into big things.  Cloudera is pretty big    I finally got CM installed and the UI up so I could log in and all, and I started looking around the place.  I knew of course that installing on a single VMWare, I would only have a one-node cluster.  Completely never realized that installing CM and logging in would not create a cluster.   I looked all around the home page for the cluster and the dropdown, where in the world could it be that you were saying?????   finally gave up and googled for "cloudera manager home page add service link" and got a screen shot that showed a list of clusters where I had nothing at all.   DOH!!   I just now clicked the button to Add Cluster and now I am on my way.    ...

YEs thanks a lot, that is what I thought it  sorted out to be Can I ask one quick followup?   I cant figure out where Hue is in the Enterprise version.  I have found a number of webpages that show how to get it going, but .... they all seem to have different instructions.   Is there one place you could send me to find definitive instructions?    I installed CM 5.1, so whatever else came in with that is what I have thanks a lot  Fletcher Lokey ...
