Description

STR:
1\. I had hdp-select failed due to env issue

resource_management.core.exceptions.Fail: Execution of 'ambari-sudo.sh -H -E touch /var/lib/ambari-agent/data/hdp-select-set-all.performed ; ambari-sudo.sh /usr/bin/hdp-select set all `ambari-python-wrap /usr/bin/hdp-select versions | grep ^2.2 | tail -1`' returned 1. Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/hdp-select", line 363, in ?
setPackages(pkgs, args[2], options.rpm_mode)
File "/usr/bin/hdp-select", line 256, in setPackages
os.symlink(target + "/" + leaves[pkg], linkname)
OSError: [Errno 17] File exists

2\. I went and fixed the issue with my env
3\. But Ambari didn't try again to run hdp-select again and attempt to start
all the components, most of them failed with different strange error messages,
which would be really hard to understand for a user.
