Thanks for the help on Friday. I was able to get most of the way to using the Ambari API to set up a test cluster, but I'm now stuck on a fairly cryptic problem again.
I'm running into an error on the Ambari agent side, but I'm confused as to the source of the error. I imagine I'm not passing in some required configuration, but the API made no complaints about my lack of providing it. My setup is a 3 VM vagrant/virtualbox setup on my local machine using the Ambari quick start guide located here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AMBARI/Quick+Start+Guide I wrote a POC script based on the instructions here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AMBARI/Create+a+new+Cluster Here's a gist with the error message I'm getting from the ambari agent and the script I'm using: https://gist.github.com/jimbobhickville/e0f744624742b02d2ce6 As far as I can tell, the error occurs after I call install_all_services() It sounds like the Ambari agent is expecting a 'global' config section to exist, but it is not requiring me to provide it, and it is not provided by the bootstrap process. Any ideas? Greg
