It is critical that you prepare your Ambari Server for hosting views. It is strongly recommended you increase the amount of memory available to your Ambari Server, and that you run additional “standalone” Ambari Servers to host the views. See Preparing Ambari Server for Views and Running Ambari Server Standalone for more information. |
