------------------------------------

             Summary: Ranger partial install causes Host All Starts to fail, prevents Cluster Services Start to not trigger at all (no pop-up)
                 Key: AMBARI-13967
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-13967
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: ambari-server
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0
         Environment: HDP 2.2
            Reporter: Hari Sekhon
            Priority: Critical


One of my clusters has Ranger service installed (but not yet configured) which causes Ambari to be unable to manage it's services.

Doing Actions -> "Start All" from Dashboard doesn't absolutely nothing (no pop-up appears, no outputs or errors) and doing Hosts -> Actions -> All Hosts -> Stop All Components fails with the following exception:
{code}2015-11-19 09:59:59,893 - Execution of 'mysql -u root --password=<password> -h <fqdn>  -s -e "select version();"' returned 1. ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '<fqdn>' (111)

    raise Fail('Ranger Database connection check failed')
resource_management.core.exceptions.Fail: Ranger Database connection check failed
{code}
This is a bug when Ambari is in a state where it's unable to control it's services. I worked around it for now by removing the Ranger service via the API until I have time to come back and properly redeploy it later.

Technically I can understand something failing the underlying database check for a single service, but I've noticed that Ambari has a lot of fringe conditions around state and having an installed but unconfigured service breaks it.

Also there should never be a scenario where Start All does absolutely nothing and doesn't feed back to the user in any way.
