Blueprint Field Descriptions
  • configurations : A list of configuration maps keyed by configuration type. An example of a configuration type is "core-site".  When specified at the top level, configurations are applied at cluster scope and override default values for the cluster.  When specified within a "host_groups" element, configurations are applied at the host level for all hosts mapped to the host group.  Host scoped configurations override cluster scoped configuration for all hosts mapped to the host group.  The configurations element is optional at both levels.
  • host_groups : A list of host groups which define topology (components) and configuration for all hosts which are mapped to the host group.  At least one host group must be specified.
    • name : The name of the host group.  Mandatory field which is referred to in the cluster creation body when mapping physical hosts to host groups.
    • components : A list of components which will run on all hosts that are mapped to the host group.  At least one component must be specified for each host group.
    • provision_action : Cluster wide provision action can be specified in Cluster Creation Template (see below), but optionally this can be overwritten on component level, by specifying a different provision_action here. The default provision_action is INSTALL_AND_START.
    • cardinality : This field is optional and intended to provide a hint to the deployer as to how many instances of a particular host_group can be instantiated; it has no bearing on how the cluster is deployed. When a blueprint is exported for an existing cluster, this field will indicate the number of hosts that correspond the the host group in that cluster.
  • Blueprints : Blueprint and stack information
    • stack_name : The name of the stack.  All stacks currently shipped with Ambari have the name "HDP".  This is a required field.
    • stack_version : The version of the stack.  For example: "1.3.2" or "2.1".  This is a required field.  When deploying a cluster using a blueprint, the stack definition identified in the blueprint must be available to the Ambari instance in the new cluster.
    • blueprint_name : Optional field which specifies that name of the blueprint.  Typically the name of the blueprint is specified in the URL of the REST invocation.  The only reason to specify the name in the blueprint is when creating multiple blueprints via a single REST invocation. Be aware that the name specified in this field will override the name specified in the URL.
    • security : Optional block to specify security settings for blueprint. Supported security types are NONE and KERBEROS. In case of KERBEROS, users have the option to embed a valid kerberos descriptor - to override default values defined for HDP stack - in field kerberos_descriptor or as an alternative they may reference a previously saved kerberos descriptor using kerberos_descriptor_reference field. 
      In case of selecting KERBEROS as security_type it's mandatory to add kerberos-env and krb5-conf config types. (Checkout configurations section in Blueprint example with KERBEROS on this page)
      Be aware that, Kerberos client packages needs to be installed on the host running Ambari server and krb5.conf needs to be configured properly to contain your realm (admin_server and kdc). 
      Automated Kerberization page describes structure of kerberos_descriptor.
  • settings: An optional section to provide additional configuration for cluster behavior during and after the blueprint deployment. You can provide configurations for the following properties:

    • recovery_settings: A section to specify if all services (globally) should be set with auto restart once the cluster is deployed. To configure it, specify "recover_enabled" property to either "true" (auto restart), or "false" (do not auto restart). 

      For example: 
      "settings": [
        "recovery_settings":[
          {
            "recovery_enabled":"true"
          }
        ]
      ],

    • service_settings: A section to specify if services should be set with auto restart once the cluster is deployed. To configure it, specify "recover_enabled" property to either "true" (auto restart), or "false" (do not auto restart). 
      For example:
      "settings": [
        "service_settings":[
          {
            "name":"HDFS",
            "recovery_enabled":"true"
          },
          {
            "name":"ZOOKEEPER",
            "recovery_enabled":"true"
          }
        ]
      ],
    • component_settings: A section to specify if components should be set with auto restart once the cluster is deployed. To configure it, specify "recover_enabled" property to either "true" (auto restart), or "false" (do not auto restart).
      For example:
      "settings": [
        "component_settings":[
          {
            "name":"KAFKA_CLIENT"
            "recover_enabled":"true"
          },
          {
            "name":"METRICS_MONITOR",
            "recover_enabled":"true"
          }
        ]
      ],
    • deployment_settings: A section to specify if the blueprint deployment should auto skip install and start failures. To configure this behavior, specify "skip_failure" property to either "true" (auto skip failures), or "false" (do not auto skip failures). Blueprint deployment will fail on the very first deployment failure if the blueprint file does not contain the "deployment_settings" section.
      For example:
      "settings": [
        "recovery_settings":[
          {
            "recovery_enabled":"true"
          }
        ]
      ],
    • repository_settings: A section to specify custom repository URLs for the blueprint deployment. This section allows you to provide custom URLs to override the default ones. Without this section, you will need to update the repository URLs via REST API before deploying the cluster with the blueprint. "override_strategy" can be "ALWAYS_APPLY" ( always override the default one), or "APPLY_WHEN_MISSING" (only add it if no repository exists with the specific operating system and the repository id information). Repository URLs stored in the Ambari server database will be used if the blueprint does not have the "repository_settings" section.
      For example:
      settings: [
        "repository_settings":[
          {
            "override_strategy":"ALWAYS_APPLY"
            "operating_system":"redhat7",
            "repo_id":"HDP",
            "base_url":"http://myserver/hdp"
          },
          {
            "override_strategy":"APPLY_WHEN_MISSING",
            "operating_system":"redhat7",
            "repo_id":"HDP-UTIL-1.1",
            "base_url":"http://myserver/hdp-util"
          }
        ]
      ]

  • blueprint : Name of the blueprint that defines the cluster to be deployed.  Blueprint must already exist.  Required field.
  • default_password : Optional field which specifies a default password for all required passwords which are not specified in the blueprint or cluster creation template configurations.
  • provision_action : Default provision_action is INSTALL_AND_START, optionally this can be overwritten on component level, by specifying a different provision_action for a given component. 
  • configurations : A list of configuration maps keyed by configuration type. An example of a configuration type is "core-site".  When specified at the top level, configurations are applied at cluster scope and override default values for the cluster.  When specified within a "host_groups" element, configurations are applied at the host level for all hosts mapped to the host group.  Host scoped configurations override cluster scoped configuration for all hosts mapped to the host group.  All cluster scoped and host group scoped configurations specified here override configurations specified in the corresponding blueprint.  The configurations element is optional at both levels. 
  • config_recommendation_strategy : Optional field which specifies the strategy of applying configuration recommendations to a cluster. Recommended configurations gathered by the response of the stack advisor, they may override partly/totally user defined custom configurations depending on selected strategy. A property value is considered as custom configuration in case it has a value other then stack default. Available from Ambari 2.2.0. 
    • NEVER_APPLY :  Configuration recommendations are ignored with this option. (This is the default)
    • ONLY_STACK_DEFAULTS_APPLY Configuration recommendations are applied only for properties defined in HDP stack by default. 
    • ALWAYS_APPLY : All configuration recommendations are applied, they may override custom configurations provided by the user in the Blueprint and/or Cluster Creation Template.
    • ALWAYS_APPLY_DONT_OVERRIDE_CUSTOM_VALUES :  All configuration recommendations are applied, however custom configurations defined by the user in the Blueprint and/or Cluster Creation Template are not overridden by recommended configuration values.  Available as of Ambari 2.4.0. 
  • host_groups : A list of host groups being deployed to the cluster.  At least one host group must be specified.
    • name : Required field which must correspond to a name of a host group in the associated blueprint.
    • hosts : List of host mapping information
      • fqdn : Fully qualified domain name for each host that is being mapped to the host group.  At least one host must be specified
    • host_count : The number of hosts that should be mapped to this host group. This can be specified instead of concrete host names.  If no host_predicate is specified, any host that isn't explicitly mapped to another host group is available to be mapped to this host group.  Available as of Ambari 2.1.0. 
    • host_predicate : Optional field which is used together with host_count to control which hosts are mapped to the host group.  This is useful in supporting host 'flavors' where different host groups require different host types.  The default predicate matches all hosts which aren't explicitly mapped to another host group.  The syntax of the predicate is the standard Ambari API query syntax applied against the "api/v1/hosts" endpoint.  Available as of Ambari 2.1.0.
  • credentials : Optional block to create credentials, kdc.admin.credential is required in case of setting up KERBEROS security. Store type could be PERSISTENT or PERSISTED
     or TEMPORARY. Temporary admin credentials are valid 90 minutes or until server restart. 
  • security : Optional block to override security settings defined in Blueprint. Supported security types are NONE and KERBEROS. In case of KERBEROS, users have the option to embed a valid kerberos descriptor - to override default values defined for HDP stack - in field kerberos_descriptor or as an alternative they may reference a previously saved kerberos descriptor using kerberos_descriptor_reference field. Security settings defined here will override Blueprint settings, however overriding security type used in Blueprint to a less secure mode is not possible (ex. set security.type=NONE in cluster template having security.type=KERBEROS in Blueprint). In case of selecting KERBEROS as security_type it's mandatory to add kerberos-env and krb5-conf config types. (Checkout configurations section in Blueprint example with KERBEROS on this page)
    Automated Kerberization page describes structure of kerberos_descriptor.

...

The blueprint below could be used to setup a cluster containing three host groups with KERBEROS security. Overriding default kerberos descriptor is not necessary however specifying a few Kerberos specific properties in kerberos-env and krb5-conf is a must to setup services to use Kerberos.  Note: prior to Ambari 2.4.0 use "kdc_host" instead of "kdc_hosts".
