What's new in Cloudera Data Visualization 8.1.2

Cloudera Data Visualization 8.1.2, released on April 16, 2026 introduces usability improvements, UI updates, and bug fixes to enhance the overall user experience and product stability.

New features and improvements

Usability improvements
VIZ-3911 – Added cancel option for connection test and creation

You can now cancel an in-progress connection test or connection creation in the Data Connection modal. Click Cancel to abort the request, for example, if it is taking too long. The modal resets and a Connection canceled notification is displayed.

User interface updates
VIZ-3758, VIZ-3761, VIZ-3767, VIZ-3983 – Improved UI consistency across Data and Dataset pages

Several user interface components have been updated with a more modern and consistent design. These updates improve visual clarity while preserving all existing functionality and workflows.

  • Updated the Data Extracts tab on the Data page with a refreshed interface
  • Modernized the Connection Explorer on the SQL and Data pages
  • Improved the Related Dashboards tab on the Dataset page
  • Added clearer status indication for extracts that have not been run (inactive status badge)
  • Improved the delete confirmation modal, including the display of dashboard ID when the title is empty
VIZ-3941 – Updated Cloudera Support Hub link

Updated the Cloudera Support Hub link in the Help menu (Site Settings) to point to the current Support Hub URL.

Fixed issues

VIZ-3920 – Fixed saving and loading dashboard templates

Fixed an issue where saving a dashboard as a template or loading existing templates could fail with errors. Dashboard templates can now be saved and loaded reliably.

VIZ-3962 – Fixed invalid values displayed during scatter visual transitions

Fixed an issue where scatter visuals displayed "NaN" or "undefined" instead of actual data values when stepping through transition animation frames. Scatter visuals now display correct numeric values during all transition steps.

VIZ-3963 – Fixed table name display for Trino datasets with joins

Fixed an issue where the Dataset Detail page, Data Model view, and visual shelves displayed the database name instead of the table name for Trino datasets with joins. Table names are now displayed correctly in all views.

VIZ-3965 – Fixed duplicate column display names on joined datasets

Fixed an issue where columns from joined tables could show duplicated display names, particularly in datasets with title-cased names. Column display names in joined datasets now resolve correctly.

VIZ-3981 – Fixed Show Data for unsaved dataset joins in Data Model tab

Fixed an issue where clicking Show Data in the Data Model tab after adding a join returned an error if the dataset had not been saved. You can now preview data from joined tables without saving the dataset, as the current join configuration is included in the sample data request.

VIZ-3985 – Fixed UI unavailability when decryption of stored settings fails

Fixed an issue where decryption failures of sensitive settings (for example, SMTP passwords or other stored credentials) could make the UI unavailable, preventing administrators from accessing the application. Decryption errors are now handled gracefully. When a stored secret cannot be decrypted (for example, due to a missing or invalid key in the .keys file), Cloudera Data Visualization:

  • Keeps the UI fully functional, including login and application pages
  • Logs the issue at the ERROR level
  • Resets the affected secret field to a safe placeholder so it can be reconfigured through the UI
VIZ-4023 – Fixed hierarchy creation and usage in datasets and visuals

Fixed an issue where the Create hierarchy action in the Dataset > Fields tab did not work, and creating visuals from datasets with existing hierarchies could result in errors. Both hierarchy creation and usage in visuals now work as expected.

VIZ-4026 – Fixed job owner filtering on the Scheduled Jobs page

Fixed an issue where filtering scheduled jobs by owner on the Job Overview > Scheduled Jobs page did not return results. The filter request was incorrectly sending the owner name instead of the owner ID to the backend. Owner filtering on the Scheduled Jobs tab now works as expected.

VIZ-4027 – Fixed dataset cache reset button on Dataset Detail page

Fixed an issue where clicking the Clear result cache for this dataset button on the Dataset Detail page returned a 404 Not Found error, preventing the dataset result cache from being cleared. The button now works as expected and displays a success confirmation message.

VIZ-4040 – Fixed dataset cache retention time resetting after edit

Fixed an issue where editing the dataset cache retention time caused the value to reset to 1 after refreshing the page. The configured retention time is now saved and displayed correctly.

Fixed Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures

The following Common Vulnerability and Exposures (CVE) have been fixed in Cloudera Data Visualization 8.1.2.
