Select the primary or secondary NameNode to view settings from that host in the cluster. See how to get the NameNode RPC address. When you enter the value in the view definition, pre-pend "http://" to the value you find in the advanced hdfs-site settings. For example, http://c6401.ambari.apache.org:8020

To get First NameNode RPC Address values:

  1. Navigate to the HDFS service page in Ambari that contains links to individual NameNodes. Click NameNode (primary) or SNameNode (secondary) to view the host page:

  2. On the host page, click Configs > Advanced.

  3. Enter "rpc" in the Filter search well at the top right corner of the page or navigate to the Advanced hdfs-site settings to find the dfs.namenode.rpc-address value that you can enter into the Pig View definition. Here is an example of using the Filter to locate a value:
