What's New in Flow Management

Learn about the new Flow Management features in Cloudera DataFlow for Data Hub 7.2.7.

The Flow Management clusters in CDP Public Cloud introduce the following new features:

  • The ConfluentSchemaRegistry Controller Service now supports basic authentication.

    NIFI-6576

  • The ReportLineageToAtlas Reporting Task now supports aws_s3_v2_directory.

    NIFI-8131

  • External database support

    Starting with CDP 7.2.7, the light and heavy duty templates instantiate an external database by default, (Amazon RDS, Azure SQL, Google Cloud SQL) to store data from Cloudera Manager, NiFi Registry, and Knox. The heavy duty template instantiates a database with high availability according to the options provided by the cloud provider.

    This change is to provide better reliability of the Data Hub cluster in case of issue on the management node. This may cause a cost increase with your cloud provider. If you do not want this change, you can duplicate the template to create your own one and override the externalDatabase property with:

    "externalDatabase":
{ "availabilityType": "NONE" }
