Stability of script for HDP platform

[stev-0]

This isn't meant as a criticism, as I realise there are 1,000 possible things that could be going wrong, but this script seems to only successfully deploy a cluster in around 1 in 5 attempts.

The exception seems to be different each time, but the common ones are:
at upload of config scripts:

Uploading   ...20150811-000113-Hq6/install-ambari-components.sh: 3.9 KiB/3.9 KiB
CommandException: 1 files/objects could not be transferred.

when running deploy scripts on master / workers:

during the ambari-components install

 Mon, Aug 10, 2015 11:43:54 PM: Step 'deploy-client-nfs-setup,deploy-client-nfs-setup' done...

Mon, Aug 10, 2015 11:43:54 PM: Invoking on master: ./install-ambari-components.sh
../bdutil: line 318: 10548 Segmentation fault sleep '0.5'

By their nature they are hard to reproduce, as I am running the same script each time.

Thanks, every report helps :)

The "Segmentation fault" error is something we've never seen before; do you happen to know if the errors you're hitting are specific to ambari_env.sh, or do they also happen when you try to deploy default bdutil clusters?
