When installing Cloudera Manager using MariaDB 10.2.8 or later, the Cloudera Manager web server doesn't come up and the install process ends with a failed status. The cloudera-scm-server.log includes the following SQL error:

2019-08-28 04:37:10,171 FATAL main:org.hsqldb.cmdline.SqlFile: SQL Error at 'UTF-8' line 57:
  "alter table ROLE_CONFIG_GROUPS
  drop column REVISION_ID"
  Key column 'REVISION_ID' doesn't exist in table
2019-08-28 04:37:10,171 FATAL main:org.hsqldb.cmdline.SqlFile: Rolling back SQL transaction.

  com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Key column 'REVISION_ID' doesn't exist in table

Note that MariaDB 10.2.8 is provided by default in some operating systems, including SLES 12 SP4.

Workaround: Replace the default MariaDB 10.2.x version with MariaDB 10.2.7.

Affected Versions: MariaDB 10.2.8 and later

Cloudera Issue: OPSAPS-52340

When the table filter used during hive cloud restore is different from the table filter used to create the hive cloud backup, the import step fails with the table not found error. Currently it impacts only the cloud restore scenario.

Products affected: Cloudera Manager

Users affected: BDR, Hive cloud restore, where restore uses a subset of tables from the exported tables

Addressed in release/refresh/patch: Cloudera Manager 7.0 and higher versions

If you use Add Hosts Wizard to add a host and that host does not have the Linux host command line utility installed, the agent config.ini file on that host will have the Cloudera Manager Server's IP address in the "server_host=" line instead of the hostname. This will cause a problem if you enable TLS for agent to server communication because the agent will connect to the Cloudera Manager Server using the IP address and not the hostname. You can fix this problem by manually changing the "server_host=" to have the correct hostname.

Cloudera also recommends that you install the host utility for future use.

Cloudera Bug: OPSAPS-49273

On a Cloudera Manager cluster host running on either CentOS 7.0 or 7.1, performing a curl operation to access the NameNode web UI results in an error similar to the following if the web UI is SSL-enabled:

curl https://nn1.example.com:20102
curl: (35) Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s).

This issue occurs on Cloudera Manager clusters running versions 6.1 and higher that exclude insecure ciphers by default. In addition, an SSL bug with curl on CentOS versions 7.0 and 7.1 prevents negotiation of a more secure SSL cipher with the HDFS NameNode web UI.

Workaround: Update yum packages to the latest available versions by running the following command:

yum update nss-util nss-sysinit nss-tools

curl --tlsv1 --ciphers rsa_aes_256_cbc_sha_256 -k -v <hostname>:<port>

Cloudera Bug: CDH-81328

While performing HDFS replication on clusters where Sentry is in use on either or both of the source and destination clusters, you must set the value of Run on Peer as Username to be the same as Run as Username. This action ensures that Sentry provided ACL data is not copied to the target cluster, which results in additional usage of NameNode heap in the target cluster.

Cloudera Bug: OPSAPS-49741

Many Cloudera Manager wizards, including Installation wizards and Add Service/Role wizards, cannot be completed when using Microsoft Internet Explorer version 11.x. To work around the issue, use another supported browser. See Browser Requirements.
