Hi Edmon, Ambari is capable of installing and managing any services that are defined in its 'stacks' - it does not have to be HDP.
You can read about how you can contribute your own service or stack to be managed by Ambari here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AMBARI/Defining+a+Custom+Stack+and+Services Hope that helps. Regards, Srimanth ________________________________ From: Edmon Begoli <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 25, 2016 5:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Installing plain Apache, non-HDP components with Ambari I installed last night the full stack with Ambari (Hive, Spark, etc.), but I noticed that it was using the HDP distribution and hence 1.5 version of Spark. Is it possible to configure Ambari to use components outside of the HDP setup? Does it have to use HDP at all? Thank you, Edmon
