Fixed Issues

The following sections describe fixed issues in each Cloudera Director 1 release.

Issues Fixed in Cloudera Director 1.1.3

Ensure accurate time on startup

Instance normalization has been improved to ensure time is synchronized by Network Time Protocol (NTP) prior to bootstrapping, which improves cluster reliability and consistency.

Speed up ephemeral drive preparation

Instance drive preparation during the bootstrapping process was slow, especially for instances with many large ephemeral drives. Time required for this process has been reduced.

Fix typographical error in the virtualizationmappings.properties file

The d2 instance type d2.4xlarge was incorrectly entered into Cloudera Director as d3.4xlarge in virtualizationmappings.properties. This has been corrected.

Avoid upgrading pre-installed Cloudera Manager packages

Cloudera Director no longer upgrades pre-installed Cloudera Manager packages.

Issues Fixed in Cloudera Director 1.1.2

Parcel validation fails when using HTTP proxy

Parcel validation now works when configuring an HTTP proxy for Cloudera Director server, allowing correctly configured parcel repository URLs to be used as expected.

Unable to grow a cluster after upgrading Director 1.0 to 1.1.0 or 1.1.1

Cloudera Director now sets up parcel repository URLs correctly when a cluster is modified.

Add support for d2 and c4 AWS instance types

Cloudera Director now includes first-class support for new AWS instance types d2 and c4. Cloudera Director can be configured to use additional instance types at any point as they become available in AWS.

Issues Fixed in Cloudera Director 1.1.1

Service level custom configurations are ignored

Restored the ability to have service level custom configurations. Due to internal refactoring changes, it was no longer possible to override service level configs.

The property customBannerText is ignored and not handled as a deprecated property

Restored the customBannerText configuration file property, which was removed during the internal refactoring work.

Fixed progress bar issues when a job fails

The UI showed a progress bar even when a job had failed.

Updated IAM Help text on Add Environment page

The help text on the Add Environment page for Role-based keys should refer to AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), not to AMI.

Add eu-central-1 to the region dropdown

The eu-central-1 region has been added to the region dropdown on the Add Environment page.

Gateway roles should assign YARN, HDFS, and Spark gateway roles

All available gateway roles, including YARN, HDFS, and Spark, should be deployed by default on the host.

Spark on YARN should be shown on the Modify Cluster page

Spark on YARN did not appear in the list of services on the Modify Cluster page.
