What does "poddisruptionbudgets.policy "zk-pdb" already exists" mean while installing with helm?

Question

I've been following this tutorial for setting up dremio with k8s: https://www.dremio.com/tutorials/python-dremio-and-kubernetes/

when attempting to install using charts in https://github.com/dremio/dremio-cloud-tools/, I get the following error message:

Error: release mean-waterbuffalo failed: poddisruptionbudgets.policy "zk-pdb" already exists

What does this mean and how should one go about resolving it?

are you getting this while installing it first time or you get this if you run the install command second time? — Arghya Sadhu, Jul 13 '20 at 09:33
@ArghyaSadhu the second time. It was interrupted the first time. — k8ask, Jul 13 '20 at 09:54

Check the PDB using:

kubectl get poddisruptionbudgets zk-pdb

If found, delete it with:

kubectl delete poddisruptionbudgets zk-pdb

unfortunately more errors of the same kind appear: `configmaps "dremio-config" already exists` – k8ask Jul 13 '20 at 09:56

After you use helm install to install a chart first time and you want to reinstall it again for some reason then before running the helm install you can clean up the old installation using helm uninstall

Alternatively if you intend just to upgrade an existing chart installation with some changes you can use helm upgrade

I am facing the same issue by using `helm upgrade --install` which basically install or upgrade the charts. – Donatello Dec 09 '20 at 16:17
