Dear Ambari Users, I want to adopt Ambari to deploy my custom software together with some HDP services. I have following questions, mainly about updates, as documentation is quite unclear about:
1) What is best way to achieve my task. Extend latest HDP stack and put my services into? 2) Versions Menu under Admin a) What is Cluster - Versions Admin Menu for? b) I've installed my cluster using my extended HDP stack, but I don't see Cluster - Versions Admin Menu, why? 3) rpm/deb repository a) What is role of RPM repository in stack from updates point of view? When new package (rpm/deb) occurs in repository, is it updated somehow using Ambari? b) Is it standard way to have separate repository for each stack version? c) what is role of reposinfo - latest in repoinfo.xml? is this checked periodically for updates? 4) Stack upgrade a) How can I achieve updates of my SW recommended way? b) Do I need to deal repository version resources API when I want to do upgrade via GUI? c) I've tried to add repository version resource using API and I've got error 500: There were no suitable upgrade packs for stack ... Thank you very much for answers, is quite difficult to find these out as mostly everyone is using Ambari with HDP only, max. with added custom services. Kindly regards, Miroslav
