Hi Gopinath, You have two options to add that property, either the UI or the API.
In the Ambari UI navigate to Services --> MapReduce --> Configs Down the bottom you'll see an are to add custom properties. Your other option is via the API, see the docs here: https://github.com/apache/ambari/blob/trunk/ambari-server/docs/api/v1/configuration.md Remember that after you add or modify a property, you'll need to stop the relevant services and start them again. -Christian On Thu, Oct 17, 2013 at 8:00 PM, Gopinath Rebala < [email protected]> wrote: > > We need to add a property to mapred-site.xml that is not defined in the > Ambari GUI (thrift plugin for jobtracker).
