Known Issues Fixed in CDH 5.1.0

The following topics describe known issues fixed in CDH 5.1.0.

Apache Hadoop

HDFS

— The same DataNodes may appear in the NameNode web UI in both the live and dead node lists

Bug: HDFS-6180

Severity: Low

Workaround: None

MapReduce

YARN Fair Scheduler's Cluster Utilization Threshold check is broken

Bug: YARN-2155

Severity: Medium

Workaround: Set the yarn.scheduler.fair.preemption.cluster-utilization-threshold property in yarn-site.xml to -1.

Apache HBase

— MapReduce over HBase Snapshot bypasses HBase-level security

The MapReduce over HBase Snapshot bypasses HBase-level security completely since the files are read from the HDFS directly. The user who is running the scan/job has to have read permissions to the data and snapshot files.

Bug: HBASE-8369

Severity: Medium

Workaround: MapReduce users must be trusted to process/view all data in HBase.

— HBase snapshots now saved to the /<hbase>/.hbase-snapshot directory

HBase snapshots are now saved to the /<hbase>/.hbase-snapshot directory instead of the /.snapshot directory. This was a conflict introduced by the HDFS snapshot feature in Hadoop 2.2/CDH 5 HDFS.

Bug: HBASE-8352

Severity: High

Workaround: This should be handled in the upgrade process.

Hue

— Oozie jobs don't support ResourceManager HA in YARN

If the ResourceManager fails, the workflow will fail.

Bug: None

Severity: Medium

Workaround: None

Apache Oozie

— Oozie HA does not work properly with HCatalog integration or SLA notifications

This issue appears when you are using HCatalog as a data dependency in a coordinator; using HCatalog from an action (for example, Pig) works correctly.

Bug: OOZIE-1492

Severity: Medium

Workaround: None
