Stale Configurations

On a KeyValue Store Indexer service, Sentry was enabled if the Solr dependency was using Sentry, even if the KeyValue Store Indexer was set to none in its Sentry dependency configuration. This is now corrected for CDH 5.14 or higher clusters.

After upgrading Cloudera Manager, clusters on CDH 5.14 or higher will be marked as stale if you have Sentry enabled for Solr but not enabled for KeyValue Store Indexer. If you are affected by this bug, restart the stale services to pick up this fix.

Kafka broker and MirrorMaker processes now listen on only the loopback interface for JMX connections. The fix causes Kafka brokers and MirrorMaker to be marked as stale after upgrading to Cloudera Manager 6.0.0 or later.

Perform a rolling restart of Kafka.

After upgrading to Cloudera Manager 5.10 or higher, the following configuration for HDFS DataNodes will be marked as stale: dfs.datanode.balance.max.concurrent.moves.

The staleness is caused by the following new feature: HDFS balancer can now be configured to specify which hosts are included and excluded or which hosts are used as sources for transferring replicas. Additional properties for tuning the performance of the balancer can now also be configured starting with CDH 5.10.0.

You can safely ignore this warning and defer restarting.

When upgrading to Cloudera Manager 5.10, YARN will be marked as having stale configuration due to mapreduce.jobhistory.loadedjob.tasks.max. Unless you change this parameter and want the non-default value to take effect (only takes effect in CDH 5.9+), you can simply ignore this staleness and defer restarting YARN.

Workaround: If your cluster uses Apache httpd 2.4 as the Hue load balancer, restart the Hue service promptly. If your cluster uses an earlier version of httpd, there is no urgency to restart the Hue service. (Apache httpd 2.4 is installed automatically by some recent versions of Linux, or may have been explicitly installed.)

The Hue load balancer previously set the ProxyPreserveHost directive to On, when it should have been set to Off. This causes problems making SSL connections when using Apache httpd 2.4 or higher. The error caused problems when verifying the CN, which older versions of Apache httpd did not encounter because they did not properly verify the CN.

When upgrading Cloudera Manager, the Hue load balancer may be marked as having a stale configuration. If you are experiencing issues connecting to Hue with SSL, restart the Hue service to update the configuration.

Upgrading to Cloudera Manager 5.12 or later may show Maintenance State Minimal Block Replication as a stale configuration under HDFS, suggesting a restart. It is safe to ignore this warning and delay restart.

It it safe to defer restart if you are not using YARN job view/modify ACLs.
