Known Issues Fixed in CDH 5.0.1

The following topics describe known issues fixed in CDH 5.0.1. For a list of important upstream fixes applied in this release, see What's New in CDH 5.0.1.

Apache Hadoop

HDFS

— NameNode LeaseManager may crash

Bug: HDFS-6148/HDFS-6094

Severity: High

Workaround: Restart the NameNode.

— Some group mapping providers can cause the NameNode to crash

In certain environments, some group mapping providers can cause the NameNode to segfault and crash.

Bug: HADOOP-10442

Severity: High

Workaround: Configure either ShellBasedUnixGroupsMapping in Hadoop or configure SSSD in the operating system on the NameNode.

Apache Hive

— CREATE TABLE AS SELECT (CTAS) does not work with Parquet files

Since CTAS does not work with Parquet files, the following example will return null values.

CREATE TABLE test_data(column1 string);
LOAD DATA LOCAL INPATH './data.txt' OVERWRITE INTO TABLE test_data;

CREATE TABLE parquet_test
ROW FORMAT SERDE 'parquet.hive.serde.ParquetHiveSerDe'
   STORED AS
    INPUTFORMAT 'parquet.hive.DeprecatedParquetInputFormat'
    OUTPUTFORMAT 'parquet.hive.DeprecatedParquetOutputFormat'
   AS
     SELECT column1 FROM test_data;

SELECT * FROM parquet_test;
SELECT column1 FROM parquet_test;

Bug: HIVE-6375

Severity: Medium

Workaround: A workaround for this is to follow up a CREATE TABLE query with an INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE SELECT * as in the example below.

CREATE TABLE parquet_test (column1 string)
ROW FORMAT SERDE 'parquet.hive.serde.ParquetHiveSerDe'
  STORED AS
   INPUTFORMAT 'parquet.hive.DeprecatedParquetInputFormat'
   OUTPUTFORMAT 'parquet.hive.DeprecatedParquetOutputFormat';
INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE parquet_test SELECT * from test_data;

Apache Oozie

— The oozie-workflow-0.4.5 schema has been removed

Workflows using schema 0.4.5 will no longer be accepted by Oozie because this schema definition version has been removed.

Bug: OOZIE-1768

Severity: Low

Workaround: Use schema 0.5. It's backwards compatible with 0.4.5, so updating the workflow is as simple as changing the schema version number.
