When performing a rolling upgrade of a secure, HDP 2.4 cluster running Atlas on SLES11 sp3, the Atlas service fails to upgrade. You may see the following error:

resource_management.core.exceptions.Fail: Execution of 'ambari-sudo.sh /usr/bin/hdp-select set all
 `ambari-python-wrap /usr/bin/hdp-select versions | grep ^2.5.0.0-1238 | tail -1`' returned 1.
 symlink target /usr/hdp/current/atlas-client for atlas already exists and it is not a symlink.

For all environments, we recommend removing Atlas from the cluster before a performing a rolling upgrade, as described here.

If you have Storm in your cluster and have Kerberos enabled, after Ambari 2.4 upgrade, the Storm summary page in Ambari Web does not show information and exceptions are logged.

You need to add the Ambari Server principal name to the Storm nimbus.admins property in Ambari Web > Services > Storm > Configs.

Filtering by Role on Users page in Ambari Admin Interface is slow with 1000+ users.

If you have 1000+ users from LDAP synchronized into Ambari and you attempt to filtering by Role on the Users page in Ambari Admin Interface, the results will be slow (potential 20 seconds). Reducing the number of users you have synchronized into Ambari is a way to improve this performance.

Apache Oozie requires a restart after an Atlas configuration update, but may not be included in the services marked as requiring restart in Ambari.

BUG-64896

Upon adding Atlas to an HDP-2.5 cluster that is kerberized it reports error while trying to communicate with Kafka. You may see the following in the error :

"Could not login: the client is being asked for a password, but the Kafka client code
 does not currently support obtaining a password from the user.
Not available to garner authentication information from the user"

This is because the keytab and principal details may be missing from the Atlas config.

Add the following config properties to Atlas configuration type application-properties

Set atlas.jaas.KafkaClient.option.keyTab to the Atlas Service keytag

e.g. /etc/security/keytabs/atlas.service.keytabSet atlas.jaas.KafkaClient.option.principal to the principal name in the above keytab

e.g. atlas/atlas_server_host_name@EXAMPLE.COM

Then, restart Atlas Server.

After performing a Rolling Upgrade, the “Percent JournalNodes Available” alert goes CRITICAL.

After performing a Rolling Upgrade, the “Percent JournalNodes Available” alert goes critical even though all the JournalNodes are started and healthy. You must disable and re-enable this alert to clear the CRITICAL status. In Ambari Web, browse to Alerts and find the “Percent JournalNodes Available” alert. Click to Disable the alert. Once disabled completes, re-enable and the alert status should be OK.

If you add or remove ZooKeeper servers and you have Atlas in your cluster, you must update some Atlas properties.

If you are running Atlas in your cluster and make changes to ZooKeeper (adding or removing ZooKeeper server components), you must update the Atlas properties list below to make sure they reflect the list of ZooKeeper servers in the cluster. You can modify the following properties from Ambari Web > Services > Atlas > Configs:

atlas.audit.hbase.zookeeper.quorum
Sample: node-test0.docker.nxa.io:2181,node-test2.docker.nxa.io:2181,node-test1.docker.nxa.io:2181

atlas.graph.index.search.solr.zookeeper-url
Sample: node-test1.docker.nxa.io:2181/infra-solr,node-test0.docker.nxa.io:2181/infra-solr,node-test2.docker.nxa.io:2181/infra-solr

atlas.graph.storage.hostname
Sample: node-test0.docker.nxa.io,node-test2.docker.nxa.io,node-test1.docker.nxa.io

atlas.kafka.zookeeper.connect
Sample: node-test0.docker.nxa.io,node-test2.docker.nxa.io,node-test1.docker.nxa.io 

BUG-62609

When upgrading Ambari 2.x to 2.4 on a secure, cluster running Storm on Ubuntu or SLES, the Storm service check fails to restart Nimbus server due to a randomized StormClient principal.

You must manually reset the original StormClient principal on the kerberos AD server.

BUG-57093

When toggling and saving the Hive service's "Enable Interactive Query" configuration, it's important to wait for the background operations associated with that change to complete before trying to toggle it once more. If you don't wait for background operations to complete and try to re-enable this feature it can cause some of the operations to fail resulting in configuration inconsistencies.

If such inconsistencies are observed then retry toggling and saving of the "Enabling Interactive Query" configuration and wait for all requests (background operations) to complete.

This condition is rare.

When performing a Rolling Upgrade from HDP 2.2 to HDP 2.3 (or upgrade > dowgrade > upgrade) and Falcon Service Check fails with the above error, browse to the Falcon ActiveMQ data dir (specified in falcon properties file), remove the corrupted queues, and stop and start the Falcon Server.

cd <ACTIVEMQ_DATA_DIR>
