Hi, Would there be any functional impact of turning off Ambari Metrics Service and leaving it off indefinitely, other than no longer having metrics that we can use to monitor the state of our Hadoop cluster?
Is there anything within Ambari or the Hadoop cluster that depends on the metrics service? For example, would Ambari still be able to detect and report if some other node or service is down? I'm considering turning off the metrics service for a while but want to be sure that that will not break anything in the cluster. [This is with HBase version 0.98.4.2.2.6.0-2800-hadoop2 and Ambari Version 2.0.1.] Thanks, Don
