Automate HDP installation using Ambari Blueprints – Part 1

Blogpost after long time okay, in this post we will see how to Automate HDP installation using Ambari Blueprints

What are Ambari Blueprints ?

Ambari Blueprints are definition of your HDP cluster in “JSON” format, it contents information about all the hosts in your cluster, their components, mapping of stack components with each hosts or hostgroups and other cool stuff. Using Blueprints we can call Ambari APIs to completely automate HDP installation process. Interesting stuff, isn’t it ?

Lets get started with single node cluster installation. Below are the steps to setup single-node HDP cluster with Ambari Blueprints.

Step 1: Install Ambari server using steps mentioned under below link

http://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/Ambari-2.1.2.1/bk_Installing_HDP_AMB/content/_download_the_ambari_repo_lnx6.html

Step 2: Register ambari-agent manually

Install ambari-agent package on all the nodes in the cluster and modify hostname to ambari server host(fqdn) in /etc/ambari-agent/conf/ambari-agent.ini

Step 3: Configure blueprints

Please follow below steps to create Blueprints

3.1 Create hostmapping.json file as shown below:

{
  "blueprint" : "single-node-hdp-cluster",
  "default_password" : "admin",
  "host_groups" :[
    {
      "name" : "host_group_1",
      "hosts" : [
        {
          "fqdn" : "<fqdn-of-single-node-cluster-machine>"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

3.2 Create cluster_configuration.json file, it contents mapping of hosts to HDP components

{
  "configurations" : [ ],
  "host_groups" : [
    {
      "name" : "host_group_1",
      "components" : [
        {
          "name" : "NAMENODE"
        },
        {
          "name" : "SECONDARY_NAMENODE"
        },
        {
          "name" : "DATANODE"
        },
        {
          "name" : "HDFS_CLIENT"
        },
        {
          "name" : "RESOURCEMANAGER"
        },
        {
          "name" : "NODEMANAGER"
        },
        {
          "name" : "YARN_CLIENT"
        },
        {
          "name" : "HISTORYSERVER"
        },
        {
          "name" : "APP_TIMELINE_SERVER"
        },
        {
          "name" : "MAPREDUCE2_CLIENT"
        },
        {
          "name" : "ZOOKEEPER_SERVER"
        },
        {
          "name" : "ZOOKEEPER_CLIENT"
        }
      ],
      "cardinality" : "1"
    }
  ],
  "Blueprints" : {
    "blueprint_name" : "single-node-hdp-cluster",
    "stack_name" : "HDP",
    "stack_version" : "2.3"
  }
}

Step 4: Register blueprint with ambari server by executing below command

curl -H "X-Requested-By: ambari" -X POST -u admin:admin http://<ambari-hostname>:8080/api/v1/blueprints/<blueprint-name> -d @cluster_configuration.json

Srep 6: Pull the trigger! Below command will start cluster installation.

curl -H "X-Requested-By: ambari" -X POST -u admin:admin http://<ambari-host>:8080/api/v1/clusters/<new-cluster-name> -d @hostmapping.json

Step 7: We can track installation status by below REST call or we can check the same from ambari UI

curl -H "X-Requested-By: ambari" -X GET -u admin:admin http://<ambari-hostname>:8080/api/v1/clusters/mycluster/requests/

curl -H "X-Requested-By: ambari" -X GET -u admin:admin http://<ambari-hostname>:8080/api/v1/clusters/mycluster/requests/<request-number>

Thank you for your time! In next part we will see installation of HDP multinode cluster using Ambari Blueprints.
