Installation

Install required tools (Note: On local)

1. Install Ansible and git:

sudo su -
yum/apt-get install gcc gcc-c++ python-pip python-devel -y
pip install ansible
ansible-galaxy install geerlingguy.mysql

2. Clone the repository

mkdir -p ~/repos && cd ~/repos && git clone https://github.com/gautamborad/hdp-ansible

Setup variables

Note: All the SSH logins must be known / setup in advance.

Set the cluster/node level variable

Enter the cluster nodes info in the inventory/cluster file. This file contains two groups:

1. master-nodes

   • Nodes running the master Hadoop services. You can specify one, two or three nodes.
   • The last node from this list will be used to setup ambari-sever / ranger

2. slave-nodes

   • Nodes running the slave Hadoop services.
   • For single node cluster, dont specify anything here.

• Example of a 1 master / 3 slave nodes cluster:

  [master-nodes]
  master01 ansible_host=192.168.0.2
  
  [slave-nodes]
  slave01 ansible_host=192.168.0.3
  slave02 ansible_host=192.168.0.4
  

• Example for installing a single-node HDP cluster

  [master-nodes]
  master01 ansible_host=localhost
  

Set the HDP/component level variables

Enter various service level variables in playbooks/group_vars/all to set the cluster configuration.

The following table will describe the most important variables:

Variable	Description
cluster_name	The name of the HDP cluster
hdp_version	The HDP major version that should be installed
admin_password	This is the Ambari admin user password
services_password	This is a password used by everything else (like hive's database)
