Incompatible Changes in Cloudera Data Science Workbench 1.5.0

Cloudera Data Science Workbench 1.5.0 no longer supports some of the software and components supported in previous releases.

Deprecated Property - CDH Parcel Directory
The CDH parcel directory property is no longer available in the Site Administration panel at Admin > Engines. Depending on your deployment, use one of the following ways to configure this property:
  • CSD deployments: If you are using the default parcel directory, /opt/cloudera/parcels, no action is required. If you want to use a custom location for the parcel directory, configure this in Cloudera Manager as documented here.
  • RPM deployments: If you are using the default parcel directory, /opt/cloudera/parcels, no action is required. If you want to specify a custom location for the parcel directory, configure the DISTRO_DIR property in the cdsw.conf file on both master and worker hosts. Run cdsw restart after you make this change.
