Dear All, I found a bit of clarity here <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-7804>. Still some questions remain unanswered...
I have created my stack by extending HDP 2.3 stack. I've put upgrade xml there, so upgrade pack was created. Now I'm able to create version under hidden versions menu: http://localhost:8080/views/ADMIN_VIEW/2.1.2/INSTANCE/#/stackVersions Still I'm not able to install it to my cluster as it fails with error 500. System exception is swallowed in CreateHandler.java, so I don't know why... All what I've got in system log is: BaseManagementHandler:57 - Caught a system exception while attempting to create a resource http://localhost:8080/api/v1/clusters/mycluster/stack_versions/ is empty Any ideas? How Ambari knows that if I select to install HDP 2.3 stack what to choose as repository version and assign it into cluster? Thank you for any answer!
