Selecting the Hadoop version 

Once we name the Hadoop cluster, we are presented with a screen to select the version of Hadoop we want to run.

At the time of writing, Ambari supports the following Hadoop versions:

  • Hadoop 2.3
  • Hadoop 2.4
  • Hadoop 2.5
  • Hadoop 2.6 (upto 2.6.3.0)

You can choose any version for the installation. I have selected the default option which is version 2.6.3.0, which can be seen in this screenshot:

Click Next at the bottom of the screen to continue to the next step.
