Enable Ambari Server to download and install GPL Licensed LZO packages? Use this option to enable LZO compression in your HDP/HDF cluster. LZO is a lossless data compression library that favors speed over compression ratio. Ambari does not install nor enable LZO compression libraries by default, and must be explicitly configured to do so. For more information, refer to Enabling LZO in Ambari documentation. Optional and only available if using Ambari 2.6.1.0 or newer. Disabled.

If you choose to use a base image with custom Ambari and/or HDP/HDF version, Cloudbreak validates the information entered. WhenCloudbreak detects that the information entered is incorrect, it displays a warning marked with the sign. You should review all the warnings before proceeding and make sure that the information that you entered is correct. If you choose to proceed in spite of the warnings, check “Ignore repository warnings”.
