CDPD-41274: HWC + Oozie issue: Could not open client transport with JDBC Uri

Currently only Spark cluster mode is supported in the Oozie Spark Action with Hive Warehouse Connector (HWC).

Use Spark action in cluster mode. 
Use Spark action in cluster mode.
                        <spark xmlns="uri:oozie:spark-action:1.0">
                        ...
                        <mode>cluster</mode>
                        ...
                        </spark>
Oozie jobs fail (gracefully) on secure YARN clusters when JobHistory server is down

If the JobHistory server is down on a YARN (MRv2) cluster, Oozie attempts to submit a job, by default, three times. If the job fails, Oozie automatically puts the workflow in a SUSPEND state.

When the JobHistory server is running again, use the resume command to inform Oozie to continue the workflow from the point at which it left off.
Unsupported Feature
The following Oozie features are currently not supported in Cloudera Data Platform:
  • Non-support for Pig action (CDPD-1070)
  • Conditional coordinator input logic

Cloudera does not support using Derby database with Oozie. You can use it for testing or debugging purposes, but Cloudera does not recommend using it in production environments. This could cause failures while upgrading from CDH to CDP.
