Behavioral Changes

You can review the changes in certain features or functionalities of Cloudera Manager that have resulted in a change in behavior from the previously released version to this version of Cloudera Manager 7.13.1.

Cloudera Manager 7.13.1 CHF8 (7.13.1.800)

Cloudera Manager disables the login "Remember Me" option by default
Previous behavior:

In previous versions, the Cloudera Manager login user interface (UI) displayed the Remember Me checkbox by default. When users selected this option during login, Cloudera Manager granted them an extended, persistent session lasting up to two weeks. This allowed users to access the console without re-authenticating, even after closing their browsers or experiencing standard session timeouts.

New behavior:

To prevent unintended persistent sessions and improve security, Cloudera Manager now hides the Remember Me checkbox by default. Consequently, users no longer see this checkbox on the login screen, and the system enforces the standard 30-minute session timeout. Users must re-authenticate once their session expires.

To restore the checkbox to the login UI and allow the two-week persistent session, administrators must manually enable the session_remember_me parameter by navigating to Administration > Settings within the Cloudera Manager Server Configuration settings.

Summary: Default value of hive.iceberg.allow.datafiles.in.table.location.only synchronized to true.
Previous behavior:
Previously, the hive.iceberg.allow.datafiles.in.table.location.only property was set to true by default in the Cloudera Manager user interface, but the HiveServer2 (HS2) instance displayed the value as false.
New behavior:
The hive.iceberg.allow.datafiles.in.table.location.only property is now consistently set to true across both the Cloudera Manager user interface and the HiveServer2 instances.
Summary: Default value of hive.load.data.use.native.api changed to false.
Previous behavior:
Previously, the hive.load.data.use.native.api property was set to true by default. When both this property and hive.iceberg.allow.datafiles.in.table.location.only were enabled, the LOAD query for Iceberg tables did not move data files into the table directory.
New behavior:
The default value for the hive.load.data.use.native.api property is now false. This change ensures that the LOAD query correctly moves data files into the Iceberg table directory, maintaining data consistency and preventing errors during selection.

Cloudera Manager 7.13.1 CHF7 (7.13.1.710)

There are no behavioral changes in this release.

Cloudera Manager 7.13.1 CHF6 (7.13.1.600)

There are no behavioral changes in this release.

Cloudera Manager 7.13.1 CHF5 (7.13.1.500)

Summary: Hive SYSDB creation failures
Previous behavior:
Any failure during the Create SYSDB command in Hive was treated as a fatal error, which would stop the entire Cloudera installation.
New behavior:
Now, Cloudera Manager treats failures during the creation of SYSDB in Hive as non-fatal. This allows the Cloudera installation to proceed even if the command fails. If users find that SYSDB does not exist, they can still create or recreate it manually from the Actions menu of the Hive Metastore Server role.

Cloudera Manager 7.13.1 CHF4 (7.13.1.400)

There are no behavioral changes in this release.

Cloudera Manager 7.13.1 CHF3 (7.13.1.300)

There are no behavioral changes in this release.

Cloudera Manager 7.13.1 CHF2 (7.13.1.200)

There are no behavioral changes in this release.

Cloudera Manager 7.13.1 CHF1 (7.13.1.100)

There are no behavioral changes in this release.

Cloudera Manager 7.13.1

Summary: Added ability in the Cloudera Manager Agent's config.ini file to disable filesystem checks.

In Cloudera Manager Agent 7.13.1 and higher versions, a new optional configuration flag is available. The new flag is monitor_filesystems, which you can set up in the Cloudera Manager Agent config.ini file (found in /etc/cloudera-scm-agent/config.ini).

You can add the following lines in the config.ini file before upgrading Cloudera Manager Agent to disable monitoring of filesystems:
  • The flag monitor_filesystems is used to determine if the agent has to monitor the filesystems.
  • If the flag is set to True, Cloudera Manager Agent monitors the filesystems.
  • If the flag is set to False, Cloudera Manager Agent will not monitor any filesystems. If the flag is not included in the file, it will default to True, and Cloudera Manager Agent behavior will match previous versions.
Summary: Added a new Cloudera Manager configuration parameter spark_pyspark_executable_path to Livy for Spark 3.

In Cloudera Manager Agent 7.13.1 and higher versions, a new Cloudera Manager configuration parameter spark_pyspark_executable_path is added to Livy for Spark 3 service.

The value of spark_pyspark_executable_path for Livy must sync with the value of the Spark 3 service's spark_pyspark_executable_path parameter in Cloudera Manager.

Summary: The Livy proxy user is taken from Livy for Spark 3's configuration.
Previous behavior:
The custom Kerberos principal configuration was updated via the Livy service.
New behavior:
The Livy proxy user is taken from Livy for Spark 3's configuration, as the Livy service has been replaced with Livy for Spark3 in Cloudera Base on premises and Cloudera on cloud version 7.3.1.
