Detailed guides: Walkthru/Blog

This page is meant for Beta Testers. If you are not intending to do an installation yourself, please go back to the top page.

In this page we will store user stories of how we have installed KAVEs, what procedure we followed and how well this worked. We will also follow up on different post-install actions we made.

These stories are divided by the package and version that was installed

AmbariKave 1.2-Beta

Installing a hadoop cluster in situ in a data centre

  • Resourcing lead time: 1 week
  • Stage A deployment (installing Centos6 nodes/Hypervisors) : 2 days
  • Stage B deployment (installing Kave from the installer): 5 hours
  • Stage C deployment (fine-tuning, loading data and fixing issues): 2 days

This was a really interesting project. A group was interested in processing 300GB of transactional data in a hadoop cluster to benchmark test against their standard propitiatory solution.

How long did it take?
