Oozie Setup does not work

Question

Yet another problem with Apache Bigtop. This time it is oozie.

Whenever I want to do something with Oozie, I get the following exception:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Oozie URL is not available neither in command option or in the environment

I did some google-fuu and came across the tutorial officially provided by them.

But hurray, next problem:

Whenever I enter

bin/oozie-setup.sh -hadoop 2.6.0 $HADOOP_HOME -extjs ext-2.2.zip

I get the following reply:

 EXTJS can be downloaded from http://www.extjs.com/learn/Ext_Version_Archives

I have tried quiet a lot of things. I downloaded a version of ext-2.2.zip from an archive. I downloaded the version 2.3.0. But no matter what I do, the reply stays the same. Please help me get Oozie to run. I desperately need it right now!

Answer 1

Few thing you have to check 1st, as per the link you have shared that is to enable the Oozie UI which required ext-2.2 jar. So if you already have Oozie setup done then you have to make the oozie.war file, including DB Driver and ext-2.2.zip file

to do so steps you need to perform is

1. download ext-2.2.zip file from source and place the same in OOZIE_HOME/libext folder.

2. download mysql/oracle/postgress driver and place the same in OOZIE_HOME/libext folder.

3. start the oozie-setup.sh scriptr by executing

   $ ./oozie-setup.sh these will update the oozie.war file with supported ext-2.2.zip file and other jars which you have place in OOZIE_HOME/libext location.

4. once the above is done, you can go to next step by creating Sharedlib manually by simply coping the uncompress sharedlib.tar.gz file available in OOZIE_HOME location to hdfs://localhost:54310/user/hduser/share/lib

5. Create Oozie DB by executing

   OOZIE_HOME/bin/./ooziedb.sh create -sqlfile oozie.sql -run

NOTE: here oozie.sql is a blank file which you need to mention it could be any name but extension should be .sql, also the DB details need to update in oozie-site.xml under OOZIE_HOME/conf/oozie-site.xml file; if you have not set any DB configuration details the Oozie will Use defualt DB which is DERBY,

6. Finally if all above points have been setup you can start oozie by

   $OOZIE_HOME/./bin/oozied.sh start

and hit the oozie url and check the status. Referecnce URL : Rohit Menon has mention some of the steps which can be done simply.

Answer 2

My Oozie binary (version 5.0.0) is in /home/hduser/oozie/oozie-5.0.0. About the war file, the tutorial I've followed ( https://acadgild.com/blog/beginners-guide-for-oozie-installation ) gives this indication : "Now after setting up the things, move into the bin folder of newly obtained oozie-4.1.0 in the path $HOME/oozie/oozie-4.1.0/" (for me is $HOME/oozie/oozie-5.0.0) .

"Now prepare a war file by using the below command : sudo ./oozie-setup.sh prepare-war " but, for my installation this command doesn't worked, because oozie-setup.sh give me the help indication about the usage :

My solution was simply to go one level up from the /bin directory and give this command : hduser@:~/oozie/oozie-5.0.0$ bin/oozie-setup.sh (without the string "prepare-war"). This worked for me.
