Can I apply Ambari on a Running cluster?


I was looking for how to monitor Hadoop clusters more conveniently, and then I came across something called Ambari.
I want to apply Apache Ambari to my running Hadoop cluster. Is it possible to apply Apache Ambari to a running Hadoop cluster? If this is not possible, are there any future patches planned?


Solution

  • @Coldbrew No. Ambari should be installed on a fresh cluster. If you indeed need to use ambari hadoop, I would recommend make a new ambari cluster w/ hadoop configured as close to possible as your existing hadoop and then migrating the native hadoop data to the new platform.
