5. Uninstall HDP on All Nodes

At each cluster node, uninstall HDP for Windows using either of the following methods:

  • From the Command line: If you have the MSI installer that goes with the version of HDP running at your site (for example, to install HDP 1.3, you need hdp-1.3.0.0.winpkg.msi), you can uninstall HDP from the command prompt. At each node in the cluster, open the command prompt as an administrator and enter:

    msiexec /lv hdp_uninstall.log /qb /x c:\MSI_INSTALLER\hdp-1.3.0.0-GA.winpkg.msi HDP_DIR=c:\hdp DESTROY_DATA=no

  • From the Control Panel: Open Programs and Features, right-click on Horton Works Data Platform for Windows and select Uninstall.

    The uninstall option keeps existing data in place, maintaining the data directories for HDFS and MapReduce.
