Hi Sharu,
If you are only looking to try out trafodion from an end-user perspective, you can try the sandbox that Amanda created recently. You can find the details in this March archive http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-trafodion-user/201603.mbox/browser under the topic “Trafodion 1.3 Sandbox” Note that this sandbox is based on Hortonworks 2.2 not CDH, if that will work for you.

I will explain what I am trying to do. I am trying to install trafodion 1.3.0 binaries to experiment with trafodion as an end-user. I am referring to the steps in the provisioning guide for this purpose. Reading through the prerequisites and steps in the provisioning guide, I want to install the binaries on a virtual machine (single-node environment). I need CDH 5.3 hadoop distribution on the VM to get going. The problem I have is that when I go to http://www.cloudera.com/downloads/quickstart_vms/5-5.html, I only see two options: download the VM installed with CDH 5.5 or CDH 5.4. (no option of getting VM with CDH 5.3 or under) Christophe, you sent me a the link to get CDH 5.3. Would it be OK if I install CDH 5.3 hadoop distribution on my local machine and get started. I mean install hadoop CDH 5.3 and trafodion on my machine instead of VM. I am new to the hadoop world. Sorry if my questions are trivial. Thank you for your time.

As Eric asks, are you trying out Trafodion as an experiment, or do you have a particular use case in mind? The daily build that Amanda mentions is not necessarily ready for real use - it's a snapshot build and so might contain incomplete fixes, partial updates, limited documentation, etc. The developer daily build is not recommended for general release usage because it is a snapshot for testing purposes and so the quality expectations are different. For more information on the daily build (especially if you're going to try to install it), you can see the development list by subscribing to dev-subscr...@apache.incubator.trafodion.org . That list goes into deep technical details, build mechanics and more - definitely not a general-purpose user list, as the daily build is not a general-purpose build! If you're interested in trying to build Trafodion or checking out a developer build as part of becoming more deeply involved in Trafodion, there are plenty of people on the dev list who can help you out! We're in the process of putting together Trafodion release 2.0 which is the official path for supporting Trafodion on Cloudera 5.4. I've been away at a conference this week, so haven't seen the latest updates on release 2.0, but it should be going to release candidate status very soon. Thanks and again, welcome! -Carol P. --------------------------------------------------------------- Email: carol.pearson...@gmail.com Twitter: @CarolP222 --------------------------------------------------------------- On Fri, Apr 1, 2016 at 12:19 PM, Sharu Gupta <gupta.sh...@gmail.com> wrote: Hello, I am a new user on your mailing list. I was reading the instructions to download and install Trafodion. The instructions say that either Cloudera CDH 5.3 or CDH 5.2 are required. However, I can only find CDH versions 5.4 or higher on http://www.cloudera.com/downloads/quickstart_vms/5-5.html Will it be OK to use hadoop distribution by CDH 5.4 or higher? Thank you, Sharu
