To deploy your Hadoop installation, you need to collect the following information:
The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for each host in your system, and which components you want to set up on which host. The Ambari install wizard does not support using IP addresses. You can use
hostname -f
to check for the FQDN if you do not know it.The base directories you want to use as mount points for storing:
NameNode data
DataNodes data
MapReduce data
ZooKeeper data, if you install ZooKeeper
Various log, pid, and db files, depending on your install type
