Known issues in Cruise Control

There are no known issues for Cruise Control in Cloudera Runtime 7.2.17.

Rebalancing with Cruise Control does not work due to the metric reporter failing to report the CPU usage metric: On the Kafka broker, the Cruise control metric reporter plugin may fail to report the CPU usage metric.
If the CPU usage metric is not reported, the numValidWindows in Cruise Control will be 0 and proposal generation as well as partition rebalancing will not work. If this issue is present, the following message will be included in the Kafka logs:
WARN com.linkedin.kafka.cruisecontrol.metricsreporter.CruiseControlMetricsReporter: [CruiseControlMetricsReporterRunner]: Failed reporting CPU util.
java.io.IOException: Java Virtual Machine recent CPU usage is not available.
This issue is only known to affect Kafka broker hosts that have the following specifications:

CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2699 v4 @ 2.20GHz

OS: Linux 4.18.5-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Aug 24 11:35:05 EDT 2018 x86_64

Java version: 8-18; Move the broker to a different machine where the CPU is different. This can be done by performing a manual repair on the affected nodes. For more information, see the Data Hub documentation.
note
Cluster nodes affected by this issue are not displayed as unhealthy.
CDPD-47616: Unable to initiate rebalance, number of valid windows (NumValidWindows) is zero: If a Cruise Control rebalance is initiated with the rebalance_disk parameter and Cruise Control is configured to fetch metrics from Cloudera Manager (Metric Reporter is set to CM metrics reporter), Cruise Control stops collecting metrics from the partitions that are moved. This is because Cloudera Manager does not collect metrics from moved partitions due to an issue in Kafka (KAFKA-10320).
If the metrics are not available, the partition is considered invalid by Cruise Control. This results in Cruise Control blocking rebalance operations and proposal generation.; Configure Cruise Control to use to use the Cruise Control metrics reporter (default). This issue is not present if this metric reporter is used.

In Cloudera Manager, select the Cruise Control service.

Go to Configuration.

Find the Metric Reporter property.

Select the Cruise Control metrics reporter option.

Restart the Cruise Control service.
OPSAPS-68148: Cruise Control rack aware goal upgrade handler: The goal sets in Cruise Control, which include the default, supported, hard, self-healing and anomaly detection goals, might be overridden to their default value after a cluster upgrade if the goals have been customized.; Create a copy from the values of the goal lists before upgrading your cluster, and add the copied values to the goal lists after upgrading the cluster. Furthermore, you must rename any mentioning of com.linkedin.kafka.cruisecontrol.analyzer.goals.RackAwareGoal to com.linkedin.kafka.cruisecontrol.analyzer.goals.RackAwareDistributionGoal as Cruise Control will not be able to start otherwise.
