Hortonworks Sandbox HDP 2.6.5 on Mac with VirtualBox

Question

I am new to Hortonworks Sandbox HDP 2.6.5. I have it successfully installed on a MacOS Catalina, itself running VirtualBox. All is good - I can access the Ambari dashboard and ssh from my Mac to the Hadoop FS.

However, I am confused about what is where and therefore how to access....

I can ssh using this line: [email protected] -p 2222

.... and I arrive here: maria_dev@sandbox-hdp

This looks a lot like the Hadoop file system.

In Ambari, I use the FileView to navigate in the GUI to user/maria_dev

This looks to me like I am navigating the Linux host.

Assuming this is correct(..is it?) , how to I ssh to here (user/maria_dev) from a terminal on my Mac?

Thanks in advance Simon

Answer 1

Ambari fileview is HDFS

You don't see HDFS files from an SSH session without using the hdfs fs -ls commands, and this is different from just ls/cd on its own

FWIW, HDP 2.6 has been deprecated for a few years

how do I log into the Linux system that is supporting the Hadoop instance

That is what SSH does
