Hi Raja, repomd.xml is from a yum repo. For example (and not even relevant to hadoop but just an example) https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/SRPMS/ There are a bunch of rpms that you can install through yum e.g. https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/SRPMS/s/sshpass-1.05-5.el7.src.rpm
repomd.xml is located here https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/SRPMS/repodata/ which is a definition file of a repo and is created by createrepo command e.g. http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/RepoCreate You get the error because Ambari requires a yum repo, but not tar/jar files. Also note Ambari includes some logics specific to stack vendors (like Hortonworks and Bigtop) so it is not guaranteed to work any hadoop distributions. I'd assume HDP is tested most, I don't know if Bigtop works now.
