Using Kudu with Cloudera Director

The Kudu service is distributed in its own parcel and is not part of CDH. To add Kudu to a cluster bootstrapped by Cloudera Director, perform the following steps.

1. List "KUDU" as a product in the cluster template, providing its version number.
2. Include the URL for a Kudu parcel repository in the list of parcel repositories for the cluster template. Be sure to also include the URL for the CDH parcel repository, even if it is the default repository that Cloudera Director uses when no parcel repositories are listed.
3. Manually assign roles for Kudu, as well as other products, to instances in the cluster template.
4. Provide required Kudu configuration properties, such as the paths for the data and write-ahead log files.

```
cluster {
  products {
    CDH: 5.11.0,
    KUDU: 1.2.0
  }
 
  parcelRepositories: ["http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/parcels/5.11.0/",
                      "http://archive.cloudera.com/kudu/parcels/5.11.0/"]
 
  services: [HDFS, YARN, KUDU]
 
  masters {
    count: 1
    instance: {
      type: m4.xlarge
      image: ami-12345678
    }

    roles {
      HDFS: [NAMENODE, SECONDARYNAMENODE]
      YARN: [RESOURCEMANAGER, JOBHISTORY]
      KUDU: [KUDU_MASTER]
    }

    configs {
      KUDU {
        KUDU_MASTER {
          fs_wal_dir: "/data0/kudu/masterwal"
          fs_data_dirs: "/data1/kudu/master"
        }
      }
    }
 }
  workers {
    count: 3
    minCount: 3
    instance: {
      type: m4.xlarge
      image: ami-12345678
    }

    roles {
      HDFS: [DATANODE]
      YARN: [NODEMANAGER]
      KUDU: [KUDU_TSERVER]
    }

    configs {
      KUDU {
        KUDU_TSERVER {
          fs_wal_dir: "/data0/kudu/tabletwal"
          fs_data_dirs: "/data1/kudu/tablet"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
```

The CSD for Kudu is included with Cloudera Manager starting with version 5.11. If you are using that version or later of Cloudera Manager, you do not need to list the Kudu CSD in the csds section of the deployment template. Otherwise, do include the CSD.

```
cloudera-manager {
  ...
  # Kudu CSD is not included with Cloudera Manager 5.10
  csds: [
     "http://archive.cloudera.com/kudu/csd/KUDU-5.10.0.jar"
   ]
}
```
