Cloudera Manager API - how to deploy the default configuration?

Question

I am trying to set up a cluster with the Cloudera Manager API. So far, I have added a service (HDFS) and roles (1 NN, 2 DN, 1 SNN). However they don't come with any kind of configuration.

When I add services/roles via the Web GUI, they come with default configuration. Is there a way to do the same via the API (add service with default configuration). If not, where do I need to put configuration files? A quick find revealed multiple locations where configuration xmls seem to live.

Cloudera Manager does it right what exactly needed in this case. If you still want to change any configuration you can do it all through CM manager UI. Service=> Configuration=>Change any config=>Save=> Restart.

If you still want to make some changes via API it's located here
