Description

Ambari Server loads ambari.properties using Properties.load(InputStream), which uses ISO 8859-1 character encoding. This causes a problem for non-Latin1 characters that can occur in several properties, eg. in any directory or file name.

STR:

1. Install and setup Ambari Server
2. Update ambari.properties changing server.jdbc.user.passwd to /etc/ambari-server/conf/password.őőő
3. mv -iv /etc/ambari-server/conf/password.dat /etc/ambari-server/conf/password.őőő
4. Try to start Ambari Server

Result:

...
ERROR: Exiting with exit code 1.
REASON: Database check failed to complete. Please check /var/log/ambari-server/ambari-server.log and /var/log/ambari-server/ambari-server-check-database.log for more information.

/var/log/ambari-server/ambari-server-check-database.log

FileNotFoundException: File '/etc/ambari-server/conf/password.Å‘Å‘Å‘' does not exist
