> Ambari to support Hybrid cluster
> ---------------------------------
>
> Key: AMBARI-21674
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-21674
> Project: Ambari

> Reporter: Ayappan

> We have been exploring Hybrid hadoop cluster recently. By hybrid, i mean the
> nodes in the cluster have different platform architectures. Some nodes are
> intel x86_64 , some are IBM Power ppc64le., and so on. Right now Ambari
> doesn't have this hybrid support. It selects the repo based on the machine
> where it is installed and then ask the users to add the nodes. I think this
> order has to be changed as the first step to provide hybrid support in Ambari.
> We were actually able to bring up a hybrid cluster using some hacks (not so
> good) like manually configuring the yum repos according to the arch,
> installing the rpms before ambari does and also manipulating the JAVA_HOME
> variable. We also ran some examples like terasort without any issues.
> So the thing here is we kind of starting to work on making Ambari provide a
> smooth hybrid support which requires some design changes. We very much
> welcome Ambari community to provide some ideas, patch contributions, or
> whatever way you can help us on.
