Dong, you might misunderstand the ³offline² here; The doc ³Off Hadoop cli installation² talks about how to install Kylin in a machine which is out of Hadoop cluster; In that case, you need configure a remote cli host/user/pwd in kylin.properties so that Kylin can ssh to that cli to execute hadoop/hive/hbase commands; As usually it is not a problem for user to install Kylin in hadoop cluster, the ³off cli² mode will not be our focus anymore;
For your case, if you want to install 2 Kylin instances, there are two options in my mind: Option 1: Install Kylin in two machines, and configure one instance to run query engine only, and the other run all (job engine + query engine); Yang has mentioned how to configure that in a previous email; Option 2: Install the 2 instances in 1 machine but assign different ports to them (modify in tomcat/conf/server.xml); Please also do the same configuration as option 1; After that, use different ports to access different instances; For both option 1 and 2, remember to update the kylin.rest.servers to let them aware each other, so that they can notify the other on a cube state change; Please let us know if you have further question.
