I am trying to install on a two node Hadoop using Yarn .How does the other node know this node as master. Do we need to specify the hostname explicitly anywhere?

The nodes know of each other via ZK. If you are deploying in a Hadoop cluster, you should use your external ZK (rather than Dremio’s default internal one) - https://docs.dremio.com/advanced-administration/zookeeper.html#using-an-external-zookeeper

Also, you only need to deploy the master coordinator one time. You can stand up the executors via UI via Yarn.

I have two nodes host1 & host2 which is hadoop cluster and both acts as zookeeper. I used setup instructions for both

Master config:

paths: {

the local path for dremio to store data.

local:“/data/dremio”
dist:“hdfs://namenode/user/dremio”
}

services: {
coordinator.enabled: true,
coordinator.master.enabled:true ,
executor.enabled: false
coordinator.auto-upgrade: false
}
services.coordinator.master.embedded-zookeeper.enabled: false
zookeeper: “host1:2181,host2.com:2181”

Log that I get when i start ~
Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NullPointerException: No Cluster Identity found

Executor config:

paths: {

the local path for dremio to store data.

local: “/data/dremio”
dist:“hdfs://namenode/user/dremio”

}

services: {

}

Any help

Could you try to delete content of /data/dremio directory and restart?

Well that did not helo. However adding JAVA_HOME to Dremio_env file helped fixing the error
