OPSAPS-57949: Omid (for HBase/Phoenix) is now configurable using Cloudera Manager: There is a new CSD-based service for Omid and there is a new HBase configuration file for Omid clients.
OPSAPS-57963: Expose new configuration properties for Streams Replication Manager metrics processing: New configuration properties have been added to Cloudera Manager to support tuning the metrics processing behavior of Streams Replication Manager: secondary->primary.metrics.period, metric.grace, and metric.retention.

OPSAPS-58397: Make the Schema Registry hashing algorithm configurable: Added new option to Schema Registry configuration where you can change the hashing algorithm used to generate schema fingerprints. The default value is MD5.
OPSAPS-58498: [SCM] Lower the frequency of Global Audit Commands in Cloudera Manager: Cloudera Manager's Audit Evictor command will now run once every 23 hours.
OPSAPS-58546: Rollback documentation is now available for upgrades from CDH 5 to CDP Private Cloud Base 7: note
If your CDH5 upgrade to CDP has failed you must rollback to CDH5 before finalizing your upgrade.
See Rolling Back a CDH 5 to CDP 7 Upgrade. Read all directions before attempting a rollback.
OPSAPS-58598: Exporting cluster configuration alters the solr-infra instance name: New behavior for Cloudera Manager 7.3.0 and later: When imported a cluster template, each service's name will be filled in with the refname defined in the template. Previous behavior was that the service name would be the service_type + a random number. The new behavior takes effect as long as there is no pre-existing service in Cloudera Manager with the same name. This applies to all services in Cloudera Manager across all clusters. If there is a pre-existing service with the same name, then the previous behavior takes effect, and the new service name will be the service_type + a random number.
OPSAPS-57097 Kerberos referrals are now disabled by default: Previously, if kerberos was enabled and hosts were running JDK 1.8u232 or JDK 11 , startup of most services failed with impersonation errors. Kerberos referrals are now disabled by default for all Java services.
OPSAPS-58621: Custom kerberos principal support for SRM: Custom kerberos principal is configurable for SRM
OPSAPS-59067: Collect additional Kafka Consumer Metrics via HTTP endpoint: New metrics about Kafka consumers are now available in the SMM service, and are now collected by Cloudera Manager from Kafka's HTTP metrics endpoint rather than being pushed from SMM into Cloudera Manager. Upon upgrade, staleness will be observed for the Kafka service's service-metrics.properties file. This is due to changes of internal representation of consumer metrics entity and will not affect changes to any existing functionality.
OPSAPS-59119: he supported TLS protocol versions be defaulted to Hello and v1.2 for Oozie: The default supported TLS versions for Oozie will become SSLv2Hello,TLSv1.2 instead of TLSv1,SSLv2Hello,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2. This configuration can be changed in Cloudera Manager if you would like to use to the old behavior.
OPSAPS-59190: SAML signature algorithm is now selectable: You can now select a SAML signature algorithm that a SAML message is signed with. The supported algorithms are RSA-SHA1, RSA-SHA256, RSA-SHA384, and RSA-SHA512.
