If doing a local install or doing an install within a VPC which uses its own repositories, you'll want to run the following to skip installing the public repository. This assumes you are managing repositories yourself.
If the JDK download fails early on in the process, simply run the following:
And then try again Another common issue is the DB failing to start with an error like "pg_ctl: could not start server". This is normally because a different process has created the file "/var/lock/postgresql", and the "cloudera-scm-user" does not have permission to write into it.

- Set "MapReduce Service Environment Advanced Configuration Snippet (Safety Valve)" to
- JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/default/jre/"

- Search for "Simultaneous" and set (eg) "Maximum Number of Simultaneous Map Tasks" to 2 and "Maximum Number of Simultaneous Reduce Tasks" to 1
- (on larger instances than the typical 15GB instances, for heavy batch analytics use, this can be increased)
Then select the "Save Changes" button. This brings up two "Stale Configuration" notifications in the top left:
