Hi all,
Here is a (probably THE) problem I have found.
stderr:
2026-01-22 11:37:56,687 - The 'hadoop-hdfs-client' component did not advertise
a version. This may indicate a problem with the component packaging. However,
the stack-select tool was able to report a single version installed (3.3.0).
This is the version that will be reported.
Command aborted. Reason: 'Server considered task failed and automatically
aborted it'

Where can I PERMANENTLY disable this? Furthermore, WHY is it actually included?
There is NO documentation which has a declaration for path in a yum repository
configuration file. The AMBARI documentation you have suggests that we create
/var/www/html/ambari-repo and then the following script to create the yum
config to install the ambari components. Why not just check for this file and
use that if it exists instead of having another?
