I am new to BlueMix and got registered yesterday. I am trying to follow the manual here (https://www.ng.bluemix.net/docs/services/BigInsights/index-gentopic1.html#provisioncluster) to provision a new cluster. Step 2 reads "From the IBM Bluemix catalog, add the BigInsights service, leaving it unbound under App".
However, under Catalog I can't seem to find any BigInsights service. There is a "Data and Analytics" section. However, there doesn't seem to be any BigInsights service there. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Right now the service is available in the catalog of the US region and is labeled "BigInsights for Apache Hadoop".

We are setting up an ES cluster on GKE in the following format:
Master nodes as kubernetes deployments
Client nodes as kubernetes deployments with HPA
Data nodes as stateful sets with PVs
We are able to set up the cluster well. But then we are struggling in configuring the snapshot backup mechanism. Essentially, we are following this guide. We are able to follow this upto the step of getting the secret json key. Afterwards, we are not sure how to add this to the elasticsearch keystore and proceed further. Would be great if someone can help us out with this
In IAM & admin > Service Accounts, click on Create Service Account put the name you wish and click Create, then in Role select "Storage Admin" for example and then click Continue, then click Done.
After that on the on the Service Accounts section, click on the 3 dots of the Service Account you create and select "Create key" > JSON > Create
This will generate/download the JSON file.
Then you need to storage this key in the Elasticsearch keystore.

I have created the hello world application from the SAP Cloud SDK archetypes and pushed this to the cloud foundry environment, binding it to an application logging service instance. My understanding is that this should already provide me with the ability to analyze all logs in the Kibana dashboard of the cloud platform and previously it also worked this way.
However, this time the Kibana dashboard remains empty, so I am wondering if I missed a step or configuration. Looking at the documentation of the service and the respective tutorial blog, I was not able to identify any additional required steps. In the Logs view on the SCP cockpit I can definitely see the entries, but they are not replicated to the ELK stack in the background.
Problem was not SDK related, but seems to have been an incident on the SCP - now works correctly without any changes.
I am new to IBM Bluemix platform and exploring its BigInsights service. I can see pre configured components such as Pig Hive Hbase and others. But I want to know How can I install services like Drill or say Hue which is not configured by default. Also ssh to cluster nodes allows restricted access with no sudo rights in case one need to run yum commands.Does bluemix allows root access as I cannot see one. Thanks In advance.
As far as I know, it is not possible.
But you can use http://www.softlayer.com/ to build your own IOP (IBM Open Platform) Cluster in the cloud.
If you are interested in IBM's value-adds and you just want to try out:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p7LDeu_qQQ it is a nice tutorial to set up your own cluster via Docker.
This tutorial should be still valid for Hue:
https://developer.ibm.com/hadoop/2015/06/02/deploying-hue-on-ibm-biginsights/
Installing Drill doesn't look complicated:
https://drill.apache.org/docs/installing-drill-in-distributed-mode/
In conclusion: You need to move away from Bluemix, if you want to have a more customised BigInsights. But there are options: Softlayer, AWS, .. or just on your local computer (if you got sufficient resources, since some components like Hbase need a minimum amount of nodes)
I have created the nodered boilerplate and i have binded the Analytics for Apache Hadoop service.
So it clearly appears as a binded service into the dashboard.
But when I launch the Nodered app and add a HDFS node, I get the following message:
"Unbounded Service: Big Insights service not bound. This node wont work"
Any idea of what i am doing wrong? It used to work well for me a few weeks ago.
You will need to attach the BigInsights for Apache Hadoop service service to your app.
Please attach the service and restage/restage your app.
I'm new to Cassandra. I installed Cassandra on my ec2 machine, but how can I configure Cassandra in cluster mode.
Is there any link that will be helpful.
Thanks in advance
Step 3: Running a cluster (let me know if that is not enough for you)
You should also read the last section (updated yesterday (110310) by jbellis) on this page
I just tried this one today :
https://cloud.google.com/solutions/cassandra/
Google cloud will let you deploy a pre-configured cluster of Cassandra nodes within a few mouse clicks. When this service is not free, they still let you have a trial for 60 days.
** Another option is to follow their script on how to deploy multiple nodes cluster:
