The Hortonworks Data Platform consists of multiple components that are installed across the cluster. The cluster properties file specifies the directory locations and node host names for each of the components. The installer checks the hostname against the properties file to determine which services to install when you run the installer.
Use one of the following methods to modify the cluster properties file:
Option I - Use the HDP Setup Interface to generate a cluster properties file for GUI use or export a generated
clusterproperties.txtfor a CLI installation. Recommended for first-time users and single-node installations.Option II - Manually Define Cluster Properties to manually create a
clusterproperties.txtfile, if you are familiar with your systems and HDP requirements.
