Dremio had been starting up fine. Some configuration changes were made through Ambari and after that the dremio service would not start up. The log keeps showing this error:
[main] INFO c.d.s.c.TaskLeaderStatusListener - Waiting for TaskLeader for MASTER
Okay, so this is really embarrassing. I went to pull over the logs from the coordinator node to share with you. Before sending them I looked for the error in the log. But I
did not find it. I found out that the errors were in the log of the executor node. It seems I was on the executor node when I started the Dremio service. That is why I was having the problem. I exited that node back to the coordinator node and started
Dremio. Lo and behold everything started up just fine. Really sorry for that! But my problem is resolved.
