Hello Matt, Please also take a look at two existing JIRAs attacking issues that cover adding new repos vs installing/patching rpms, extending stacks.
AMBARI-12556 >> Patch management (different purposes of allowing adding new repos) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-12556 AMBARI-12885 >> Stack extension (cover both extending stacks as well as add new repos) This one also has a branch with work in process code changes already... https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-12885 Thank you. Di From: Mithun Mathew <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, February 3, 2016 2:07 PM Subject: NEW Ambari Functionality - Proposal: Users should be able to add repositories on existing cluster Hi Ambari Developers There is a JIRA for introducing new Ambari functionality, for adding new repositories to an existing cluster. JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-13216 Brief description: "Current Ambari (2.2.0) does not support adding new repositories to the existing ones that arepredefined in the stack." The proposal is to bring in new functionality for users to add repositories through UI. This would allow them to install any pluggable services using rpms/tars hosted on external repositories. A design document has been attached to the JIRA. Please feel free to review it, add comments and suggest possible enhancements.
