             Summary: Provide means to skip INSTALL commands when bits are 
already installed on the node
                 Key: AMBARI-9972
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-9972
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Ivan Mitic
             Fix For: 2.0.0


To better support cloud deployments, Ambari should be able to recognize that 
packages have already been preinstalled on the VM image, and skip the INSTALL 
commands. Based on the measurements with latest Ambari 2.0 and HDP 2.2, INSTALL 
phase takes ~3 minutes, so skipping these steps will contribute significantly 
to the overall deployment latency.

Things are not as strait forward as mentioned above, as some components might 
do some steps beyond just INSTALL, but that's ok given that these are 
exceptions we can handle/eliminate on case-by-case basis.

Ambari preinstall and postinstall hooks can generally be run only once during 
sys-prep so there shouldn't be any problems there. 

Let's use this Jira to further discuss the design and come up with a patch that 
will address this requirement.
