OSX Local Development Change

[Jonathan Hurley <jh...@hortonworks.com>]

Hello developers,

If you’re not running Ambari server locally on OSX, you can probably disregard this email. 

I encountered an issue today which caused my local development environment’s web client to stop working. It was a result of changes made to OS family/type calculations and how the web client requests and handles them.

Long story short, I needed to make the following two changes to my local ambari.properties:
server.os_family=redhat6
server.os_type=centos6

Without a proper os_family being returned, the web client will halt on a JavaScript error. If you’re running Ambari Server on OSX, hopefully this will save you an hour of digging.
