Hi Rick - Good to hear from you!
I don't think that there is any danger of getting out of sync with Ambari expectations here but I may be missing something. Let me try and summarize the work being done which is based on KIP-8 [1] and you can tell me what your concerns are... 1. We will continue to support the native topology file which is what Ambari is doing 2. We are introducing a simplified descriptor and shared provider config mechanism that results in generated topologies that Ambari will be unaware of in the near term 3. The topologies are generated by using the Ambari API to discover the service details which obviously is compliant with the current Ambari REST API but Ambari itself is unaware of it 4. The descriptors and provider config will be able to be monitored in Zookeeper as well as local file system Ambari will remain inline with local default.xml, knoxsso.xml and admin.xml topologies and unaware of ZK based configs for now 5. Ambari improvements are planned to be able to manage the descriptors and provider config and to push them to ZK when available otherwise to local disk 6. Editing topologies that are generated from descriptors would be problematic and lead to confusing when they get overwritten upon changes discovered in the descriptors or service details via Ambari REST API. So Sandeep is making the generated topologies readonly in the UI with an indication as to why. Ambari is completely unaware of the Knox Admin-UI currently and will likely remain so. Does the above address your concerns and/or can you share what your concerns are? thanks! --larry 1. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KNOX/KIP-8+Service+Discovery+and+Topology+Generation On Thu, Nov 30, 2017 at 3:34 PM, Rick Kellogg <rmkell...@comcast.net> wrote: > Greetings, > > > > Has there been any enhancements made or even suggested to the Ambari team? > > > > I see a lot of work being done on the Knox internally and to the Knox Admin > UI and have some concerns that Ambari v2.6.0+ might not play well with all > the new enhancements. > > > > Just my two cents, > > Rick > > > >
