Hortonworks Data Platform 2.0 (Alpha)

In the last days I was testing Hortonworks Data Platform 2.0 (Alpha). Previously I mainly used Cloudera distributions but because of this bug in CDH 4.1.3 I wanted to test alternatives. And I choose HDP.
Note: This bug practically means that using RCFILE is useless with hive-0.9.0. The column pruning is not used by hive at all. Now it seems that the problem is in HIVE-0.9.0.

Unfortunately there is a bug also in HDP 2.0. This is not so serious however. When Ambari is  used for automated installation it can fail with  "Oozie test Fails" or if Oozie is not selected than with "Hive/HCatalog test Fails" message and the deployment log will show the following error message:

 "\"Sun Mar 03 21:38:03 +0100 2013 /Stage[2]/Hdp2-hive::Hive::Service_check/Exec[/tmp/hiveSmoke.sh]/returns (notice): FAILED: Hive Internal Error: org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException(MetaException(message:Could not connect to meta store using any of the URIs provided))\"",

Searched for that message and found this thread mentioning that similar error can be caused by setting MYSQL host instead of leaving blank. 

I made many installation to tetst it and this is true. If you specify MYSQL host - even if you specify it properly - installation is always failing. But workaround is easy. Just leave MYSQL host field empty.

Note: I really like the Hortonworks approach - installation, configuration file handling and operation - compared to the Cloudera one but also missing some features like  decommissioning, role changes (datanode,tasktracker) of nodes.

Insufficient Disk Space reported under wine

Did you try to install/setup any Windows Application - actually a Game what else could be necessary - and got a message that you do not have enough free space on your drive meanwhile you had lot of free space on the chosen mounted partition? You will learn the problem and hopefully the solution too. (Of course I suppose it is not the real situation you have no enough space. If so do not read ahead.) The problem is that wine does not check the amount of free space on the mounted partition corresponds to the selected directory but reports the free on the root of the directory the partition mounted to . ;( Probably it is not clean so here is an example: Let say you have / only and something is mounted as /mnt/part1 If you directly select /mnt/part1 during installation wine will check free space in fact on / and does not calculate free on the partition mounted under /mnt/part1. How to solve it you may ask? It is easy. Start winecfg and create a new drive with the directory you want to use....

User based queue mapping for Capacity Scheduler

When I  started to use Capacity Scheduler hierarchical queue features on top of Hortonworks' HDP 2.0 I have immediately realized that I need automatic assignment of job to queue based on username. Sounds easy and useful? Yes! But could not find any configuration parameter and example for that. I found only references to use mapred.job.queuename config option. This can be configured in HIVE via set mapred.job.queuename=yourqueue or using -Dmapred.job.queuename=yourqueue as a hadoop command argument. After some hours of unavailing googling I have checked the corresponding code part and have been shocked. This is available only since HADOOP-2.6 (HDP-2.2). Check YARN-2411 for details. According to the CHANGELOG this is a relatively new feature. So sadly this is not available to me until an upgrade. :( See below an example based on YARN-2411 to use it in Hadoop 2.6 or higher for Hortonworks HDP-2.2 1. user1 is mapped to queue1, group1 is mapped to queue2: yarn.schedul...

Python Azure ML SDK issue on Ubuntu 22.04

It has been quite a while since I posted last time. Why? Because simply I did not run into any issue worth to share. But now! I did.  Recently we are doing some Machine Learning on Azure using Azure Machine Learning Python SDK. No problem you might think. Well. As it turned out Ubuntu 22.04 is not supported. And this is clearly said in a message. Which is in fact a lie. The Error message: NotImplementedError: Linux distribution ubuntu 22.04 does not have automatic support. Missing packages: {'liblttng-ust.so.0'} .NET Core 3.1 can still be used via `dotnetcore2` if the required dependencies are installed. Visit https://aka.ms/dotnet-install-linux for Linux distro specific .NET Core install instructions. Follow your distro specific instructions to install `dotnet-runtime-*` and replace `*` with `3.1.23`. Ok but what is this? And why? So as the error mentions dotnetcore2==3.1.23 Python package uses .NET Core 3.1 but Ubuntu 22.04 has only dotnet6 packages. And also Micro...
