RE: [EXTERNAL]Difference between installing from Apache vs Hortonworks

The difference is huge.  From Hortonworks, you can install packages using your package manager.  Building and deploying from Maven is not a light undertaking.  I’ve done it a couple times out of obstinance and stubbornness just to say I had.  I was eventually successful but I wouldn’t want to do it again.

I assume that the end result is exactly the same since Hortonworks labels the distribution in the docs as "Apache" and the repo they instruct to add uses apache.org<https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapache.org&data=02%7C01%7CDale.Preston%40conocophillips.com%7C6afbf2f6a9384b4a202008d75f09bd49%7Cb449db5ea80a48eba4c23c88bb78353b%7C0%7C0%7C637082367779811161&sdata=eEJBH87k2r4eQDk5KZI14nklBCRsS13ORS%2BDJ%2Fel2UI%3D&reserved=0> as the package URL:

However, the installation instructions that the ambari project site links to are different and only involve building from source via maven (and seem to nowhere mention installation options via package manager), so gives me pause as to whether these are exactly the same.

Could anyone with more experience here explain this a bit more to me?

Re: [EXTERNAL]Difference between installing from Apache vs Hortonworks

Posted by Jonathan Hurley <jh...@cloudera.com>.
Yes, there is typically a slight difference between the x.y.z version from
Apache and that offered by Hortonworks. The Hortonworks version usually
contains several additional fixes that did not make it into the official
Apache release. Additionally, there are stacks shipped with the Hortonworks
version which are not shipped with the Apache version.

Re: [EXTERNAL]Difference between installing from Apache vs Hortonworks

Posted by Reed Villanueva <rv...@ucera.org>.
I actually meant something more along the lines of: Is the underlying code
any different when getting the same ambari version from Hortonworks vs
building from source via the apache docs? And the reason for asking was due
to the differences in installation method, yet having both marketed as
"Apache".

And I agree that the package manager is much easier than via the maven
build, but that was partly why I was asking if the actual underlying code
had any difference.
