Improved Knox’s auto-discovery feature for large clusters
Earlier, the auto-discovery feature of Cloudera Manager through Knox fetched role configuration parameters for each service role. This caused a large number of REST API calls in case of large clusters.
The user can now specify a new auto-discovery method in Knox, which improves the performance of Knox’s auto-discovery feature for large clusters.
For more information, see Configure Knox auto-discovery for large clusters.
