What's new in Cloudera Streaming Analytics

Cloudera Streaming Analytics 1.13.0 covers new features beside the core streaming functionality of Apache Flink and SQL Stream Builder.

Rebase to Apache Flink 1.19.1

Apache Flink 1.19.1 is supported in Cloudera Streaming Analytics 1.13.0.

For more information on what is included in the Apache Flink 1.19.1 version, see the Apache Flink 1.19.1 Release Announcement and Release Notes.

Support for Python UDFs in SSB

This feature allows customers to start using Python for creating User-Defined Functions (UDFs). Cloudera recommends that customers start using Python UDFs for all new developments, and start migrating their JavaScript UDFs to Python to prepare for future upgrades, as Javascript UDFs will be removed in the future due to the deprecation of the Nashorn engine used in JDK 8 and 11.

For more information on using Python UDFs, see Python UDFs. For more information on supported JDK versions, refer to the Support Matrix.

Global logging configuration for SSB jobs

A new global settings view has been enabled, which currently includes log4j configuration of Flink jobs started on SSB. Users with SSB administrator rights can set a default logging configuration applied to all SSB jobs , which can be overridden at the job level.

For more information see Adjusting logging configuration in Advanced Settings.

Customizable default Kafka TrustStore configuration in Streaming SQL Console

Customizing default Kafka TrustStore configurations was added to Streaming SQL Console. Kafka TrustStore can be configured during adding Kafka as a Data Source on the UI.

Cloudera platform support

Cloudera Streaming Analytics 1.13.0 is supported as a Long Term Support (LTS) version on CDP Private Cloud Base 7.1.9 SP1. Ensure that you review the 7.1.9 SP1 Release Notes and Support Matrix to understand which operating system, database, and JDK versions are supported for Streaming Analytics as well.
