Checking out Ambari source
Follow the instructions under Checkout source code section of "How to contribute" guide.
We'll refer to the top-level "ambari" directory as AMBARI_DIR
in this document.
Tools needed to build Ambari
The following tools are needed to build Ambari from source.
Alternatively, you can easily launch a VM that is preconfigured with all the tools that you need. See the Pre-Configured Development Environment section in the Quick Start Guide.
- xCode (if using Mac - free download from the apple store)
- JDK 8 (Ambari 2.6 and below can be compiled with JDK 7, from Ambari 2.7, it can be compiled with at least JDK 8)
- Apache Maven 3.3.9 or later
Tip: In order to persist your changes to the JAVA_HOME environment variable and add Maven to your path, create the following files:File: ~/.profileCode Block source ~/.bashrc
File: ~/.bashrcCode Block export PATH=/usr/local/apache-maven-3.3.9/bin:$PATH export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home) export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Djava.awt.headless=true"
- Python 2.6 (Ambari 2.7 or later require Python 2.7 as minimum supported version)
Python setuptools:
for Python 2.6: Download setuptools and run:Code Block sh setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg
for Python 2.7: Download setuptools and run:
Code Block sh setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg
- rpmbuild (rpm-build package)
g++ (gcc-c++ package)
Running Unit Tests
mvn clean test
Run unit tests in a single module:
Code Block mvn -pl ambari-server test
Run only Java tests:
Code Block mvn -pl ambari-server -DskipPythonTests
Run only specific Java tests:
Code Block mvn -pl ambari-server -DskipPythonTests -Dtest=AgentHostInfoTest test
Run only Python tests:
Code Block mvn -pl ambari-server -DskipSurefireTests test
Run only specific Python tests:
Code Block mvn -pl ambari-server -DskipSurefireTests -Dpython.test.mask=TestUtils.py test
Run only Checkstyle and RAT checks:
Code Block mvn -pl ambari-server -DskipTests test
NOTE: Please make sure you have npm in the path before running the unit tests.
Generating Findbugs Report
mvn clean install
This will generate xml and html report unders target/findbugs. You can also add flags to skip unit tests to generate report faster.
Building Ambari
Note: if you can an error that too many files are open while building, then run: ulimit -n 10000 (for example)
To build Ambari RPMs, run the following.
Note: Replace ${AMBARI_VERSION} with a 4-digit version you want the artifacts to be (e.g., -DnewVersion=1.6.1.1)
Note: If running into errors while compiling the ambari-metrics package due to missing the artifacts of jms, jmxri, jmxtools:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project ambari-metrics-kafka-sink: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.apache.ambari:ambari-metrics-kafka-sink:jar: 2.0 . 0 - 0 : The following artifacts could not be resolved: javax.jms:jms:jar: 1.1 , com.sun.jdmk:jmxtools:jar: 1.2 . 1 , com.sun.jmx:jmxri:jar: 1.2 . 1 : Could not transfer artifact javax.jms:jms:jar: 1.1 from/to java.net (https: //maven-repository.dev.java.net/nonav/repository): No connector available to access repository java.net (https://maven-repository.dev.java.net/nonav/repository) of type legacy using the available factories WagonRepositoryConnectorFactory |
The work around is to manually install the three missing artifacts:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=jms- 1.1 .pom -DgroupId=javax.jms -DartifactId=jms -Dversion= 1.1 -Dpackaging=jar mvn install:install-file -Dfile=jmxtools- 1.2 . 1 .pom -DgroupId=com.sun.jdmk -DartifactId=jmxtools -Dversion= 1.2 . 1 -Dpackaging=jar mvn install:install-file -Dfile=jmxri- 1.2 . 1 .pom -DgroupId=com.sun.jmx -DartifactId=jmxri -Dversion= 1.2 . 1 -Dpackaging=jar |
If when compiling it seems stuck, and you've already increased Java and Maven heapsize, it could be that Ambari Views has a lot of artifacts, and the rat-check is choking up. In this case, try running
git clean -df (this will remove untracked files and directories) mvn clean package -DskipTests -Drat.ignoreErrors=true or mvn clean package -DskipTests -Drat.skip |
Setting the Version Using Maven
Ambari 2.8+ uses a newer method to update the version when building Ambari.
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
# Update the revision property to the release version mvn versions:set-property -Dproperty=revision -DnewVersion=2.8.0.0.0 mvn -B clean install package rpm:rpm -DskipTests -Dpython.ver="python >= 2.6" -Preplaceurl |

Building Ambari Metrics
If you plan on installing the Ambari Metrics service, you will also need to build the Ambari Metrics project.
Code Block |
---|
cd ambari-metrics mvn clean package -Dbuild-rpm -DskipTests For Ubuntu: cd ambari-metrics mvn clean package -Dbuild-deb -DskipTests |
Note:
The metrics rpms will be found at: ambari-metrics-assembly/target/. These would be need for installing the Ambari Metrics service.
Running the Ambari Server
First, install the Ambari Server RPM.
On RHEL/CentOS:
Code Block |
---|
yum install ambari-server/target/rpm/ambari-server/RPMS/noarch/ambari-server-*.noarch.rpm |
On SUSE/SLES:
Code Block |
---|
zypper install ambari-server/target/rpm/ambari-server/RPMS/noarch/ambari-server-*.noarch.rpm |
On Ubuntu 12:
Code Block |
---|
dpkg --install ambari-server/target/ambari-server-*.deb # Will fail with missing dependencies errors apt-get update # Update locations of dependencies apt-get install -f # Install all failed dependencies dpkg --install ambari-server/target/ambari-server-*.deb # Will succeed |
Initialize Ambari Server:
Code Block |
---|
ambari-server setup |
Start up Ambari Server:
Code Block |
---|
ambari-server start |
See Ambari Server log:
Code Block |
---|
tail -f /var/log/ambari-server/ambari-server.log |
To access Ambari, go to
Code Block |
---|
http://{ambari-server-hostname}:8080 |
from your web browser and log in with username admin and password admin.
Install and Start the Ambari Agent Manually on Each Host in the Cluster
Install the Ambari Agent RPM.
On RHEL/CentOS:
Code Block |
