Description

Ambari Server has "sensible" defaults for many of the configurations in ambari.properties. They may work for 5-, 10-, 50-, or even 100-host clusters. However, they must be properly tuned in any situation which has a large, production-level topology.

There is currently sparse to no documentation on many of these properties. For every property, we need to consider:

• The context in which different cluster deployments could be affected by it
  • Cluster Size
  • Cluster History
  • Concurrent Users
• Provide recommendations that are grouped logically, such as (for example)
  • Multiple Concurrent Users
  • 50 to 100 Hosts
  • Ambari Server Hardware
