This project allows to deploy a HortonWorks Data Platform locally using docker images.

Disclaimer: Do not use this to deploy a production HDP environment. I've been using it for development purposes as part of my work for UST Global Inc.

The images have not been pushed to any dockerhub repo so you should build them by yourself.

To do so, go to the docker folder and execute the following command:

docker build -t hdp:latest .

If you are working behind an http proxy please build your image using:

docker build -f DockerfileProxy -t hdp:latest --build-arg HTTPPROXY=<your-proxy-host>:<your-proxy-port> --build-arg HTTPSPROXY=<your-proxy-host>:<your-proxy-port> .

The Hortonworks Data Platform needs a database.

We recommend to run a PostgreSQL database running also in a docker container. To start this container execute the following command:

docker run --name postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=admin -d postgres:9.4

Before installing the platform we need to create the database schema for Ambari.

To do so you need to copy the scripts included in the scripts folder to the docker containers by going to the root folder of the project and executing the following commands:

docker cp scripts/SetupDatabase.sql postgres:/
docker cp scripts/Ambari-DDL-Postgres-CREATE.sql postgres:/

Now go inside the container and execute the scripts by executing the following commands:

docker exec -it postgres bash
psql -U postgres
\i SetupDatabase.sql
\quit
psql -U ambari
\connect ambari 
\i Ambari-DDL-Postgres-CREATE.sql

Finally list the tables and make sure that ambari is the owner of all of them:

\dt

Exit the psql shell and exit the container as well:

\q
exit

To start the first cluster node execute the following:

docker run --name=node1 -d -h node1.ust.com --link postgres:postgres hdp:latest

Again if you are working behind a proxy you should have a look at the lines below if not skip to the next section

To configure your proxy go inside the container by executing:

docker exec -it node1 bash

And include in the java parameters of the Ambari server script (/var/lib/ambari-server/ambari-env.sh) the following ones:

-Dhttp.proxyHost=<your-proxy-host>
-Dhttp.proxyPort=<your-proxy-port>

We also add the proxy in the /etc/yum.conf file by adding the following line:

proxy=http:https://<your-proxy-host>:<your-proxy-port>

And finally we add the proxy within the /etc/wgetrc by adding:

https_proxy = https://<your-proxy-host>:<your-proxy-port>/
http_proxy = http:https://<your-proxy-host>:<your-proxy-port>/

Inside the node1 container execute:

ambari-server setup

And configure Ambari server with the following parameters:

Installer:

1. Customize user account for ambari-server daemon [y/n](n)? n

2. Checking JDK...
[1] Oracle JDK 1.8 + Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Policy Files 8
[2] Oracle JDK 1.7 + Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Policy Files 7
[3] Custom JDK

Select 3 and introduce the java base path (/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.161-0.b14.el7_4.x86_64/jre/)

3. Enter advanced database configuration [y/n](n)? y

Choose one of the following options:
[1] - PostgreSQL (Embedded)
[2] - Oracle
[3] - MySQL / MariaDB
[4] - PostgreSQL
[5] - Microsoft SQL Server (Tech Preview)
[6] - SQL Anywhere
[7] - BDB
==============================================================================
Enter choice (1): 4

Hostname (localhost): postgres
(The rest of the values by default)

Before start the server and inside the container start the ntpd daemons by running:

ntpd

Then you can start the ambari server by running:

ambari-server start

Map the host of the container in your local box by finding its IP address and access to the Ambari UI by typing the following on your preferred browser:

http:https://node1.ust.com:8080

Following the instructions on the Ambari UI to install your cluster

To add more nodes to your cluster you just need to start more docker containers by executing for instance:

docker run --name=node1 -d -h node2.ust.com --link postgres:postgres hdp:latest 

Important: if you add more nodes to the cluster you need to also add the node to the /etc/hosts file of all the containers!!

To add the Hortonworks DataFlow features to the cluster, go to the node where you have installed the ambari server and execute the following commands:

cd /tmp
wget http:https://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/HDF/centos7/3.x/updates/3.1.1.0/tars/hdf_ambari_mp/hdf-ambari-mpack-3.1.1.0-35.tar.gz
ambari-server install-mpack --mpack=/tmp/hdf-ambari-mpack-3.1.1.0-35.tar.gz  --verbose
ambari-server restart
