Is it possible to build parcels for cloudera manager?

Question

Cloudera manager seems to recommend using parcels for managing the hadoop cluster. I would like to be able to build parcels out of hive trunk for instance. Is it possible to build parcels for cloudera manager?

Answer 1

Yes, it is. You need to use the Cloudera Manager Extensions software, located on github.

Be sure to check the wiki page on github, as it has a comprehensive set of instructions on the structure for the parcel metadata, how to build the parcel itself, and the format of the parcel repository.
