Hi All,
I’m Marc, a Sr. Soft Eng at Cisco and I’ve been playing with Metron a bit for
the last few days, while trying to get ideas on how I can best contribute. My
main interest is Model as a Service.
I wanted to write this email to share a few issues I’ve faced while onboarding
myself.
* Vagrant quick dev env does not boot for me.
* Cloning from master and booting up the quick-dev env return an ambari
error when installing the metron services “Nothing to be done.”. It stops here
and the ansible fails.
* Vagrant full dev environment works fine, however I am noticing the
following:
* The environment variables references in the docs (e.g. $METRON_HOME)
are not set by default when you ssh into the VM. Not a big issue, but can make
it a bit confusing for a new dev to follow the docs.
* Some parts of Metron don’t seem to be getting installed at all (e.g.
Model as a Service). Noticed this because all the required scripts to
depoy/manage the models were missing from $METRON_HOME/bin. I then realized the
Ansible code to install it never gets executed. My best guess so far is that it
is still to be ported to the Ambari Mpack.
I have not been able to find docs explaining why MaaS is not getting installed,
nor am I sure I’m doing it right. In any case, I think I could start
contributing by adding MaaS to the Ambari Mpack. Thoughts on this or better
ideas?
Best,
Marc
