Change password screen shown on page refresh for autologin user

If an unauthenticated/autologin user accesses a public workspace dashboard on an Incognito tab and then refreshes or tries to reload the page, it can unexpectedly trigger the display of the Change Password modal.

Workaround:

To resolve this issue, change the autologin user's password once using the Change Password modal. After changing the password, the issue should no longer occur and the autologin functionality will work as expected.

Dashboard export from Visuals page results in corrupted JSON

Exporting a dashboard from the Visuals page results in corrupted JSON, impacting the successful export and import of dashboards from the page. The issue manifests during the export process, resulting in a JSON structure that only contains workspace details.

Workaround:

To resolve this issue, consider the following workarounds:

• Single report export

  For exporting a single report, use the export action within the Dashboard Builder. This method avoids the JSON corruption encountered on the Visuals page.

• Multiple reports export

  For exporting multiple reports, access the Visuals page with the query parameter ?mode=old. This opens the old Visuals page, where the export functionality works correctly, ensuring the integrity of the JSON structure.

Partitioned Cloudera Impala on premise extract tables cannot be updated

Tables in Cloudera Impala that are both partitioned and set as extract targets cannot be updated directly. This prevents operations such as dropping or adding new partitions.

Workaround:

Move the data to a new table that supports altering commands. Then replace the original extract table by renaming the newly created table. Optionally, you can create a backup of the original table before replacing it.

A sample SQL workflow is provided below. Customize the components marked in blue, while the remaining parts of the query are standard.

1. Create a temporary table (database_name.new_table_name) that supports altering.

   create table database_name.cdv_table_name_new (table_definition) partitioned by (partition_field string) tblproperties('transactional'='false');

2. Copy existing data from the original extract target.

   insert into database_name.cdv_table_name_new partition(partition_field) select * from database_name.cdv_table_name;

3. [Optional] Save the original extract target as a backup.

   alter table database_name.cdv_table_name rename to database_name.cdv_table_name_bak;

4. Make the temporary table the current extract target.

   alter table database_name.cdv_table_name_new rename to database_name.cdv_table_name;
