6. Administration Over Ambari

This section describes how to configure Ranger plugins on top of the Ambari-installed cluster components: HDFS, HBase, Hive, Knox, and Storm. We assume you have already manually installed these plug-ins, as described in Installing Ranger Plug-in Manual Installation. This section assumes you have already manually installed these plug-ins, as described in Installing Ranger Plug-in Manual Installation .

In Ambari 1.7.0, the first time when HDFS, HBase, Hive, Knox and Storm are restarted via Ambari, their configuration files are overwritten. This causes the Ranger plug-ins for those services to fail. The temporary workaround for this is to update the configuration of each component via Ambari, and then restart the components via Ambari.

Most of the actions in this section occur in the Ambari console, at the Config tabs for HDFS, HBase, Hive, Knox and Storm.
