5.9.0 release notes

The following release notes include information for the Amazon EMR version 5.9.0 release. Changes are relative to the Amazon EMR 5.8.0 release.

Release date: October 5, 2017

Latest feature update: October 12, 2017

Upgrades

  • AWS SDK for Java version 1.11.183

  • Flink 1.3.2

  • Hue 4.0.1

  • Pig 0.17.0

  • Presto 0.184

New features

  • Added Livy support (version 0.4.0-incubating). For more information, see Apache Livy.

  • Added support for Hue Notebook for Spark.

  • Added support for i3-series Amazon EC2 instances (October 12, 2017).

Changes, enhancements, and resolved issues

  • Spark

    • Added a new set of features that help ensure Spark handles node termination because of a manual resize or an automatic scaling policy request more gracefully. For more information, see Configuring node decommissioning behavior.

    • SSL is used instead of 3DES for in-transit encryption for the block transfer service, which enhances performance when using Amazon EC2 instance types with AES-NI.

    • Backported SPARK-21494.

  • Zeppelin

  • HBase

    • Added patch HBASE-18533, which allows additional values for HBase BucketCache configuration using the hbase-site configuration classification.

  • Hue

    • Added AWS Glue Data Catalog support for the Hive query editor in Hue.

    • By default, superusers in Hue can access all files that Amazon EMR IAM roles are allowed to access. Newly created users do not automatically have permissions to access the Amazon S3 filebrowser and must have the filebrowser.s3_access permissions enabled for their group.

  • Resolved an issue that caused underlying JSON data created using AWS Glue Data Catalog to be inaccessible.

Known issues

  • Cluster launch fails when all applications are installed and the default Amazon EBS root volume size is not changed. As a workaround, use the aws emr create-cluster command from the AWS CLI and specify a larger --ebs-root-volume-size parameter.

  • Hive 2.3.0 sets hive.compute.query.using.stats=true by default. This causes queries to get data from existing statistics rather than directly from data, which could be confusing. For example, if you have a table with hive.compute.query.using.stats=true and upload new files to the table LOCATION, running a SELECT COUNT(*) query on the table returns the count from the statistics, rather than picking up the added rows.

    As a workaround, use the ANALYZE TABLE command to gather new statistics, or set hive.compute.query.using.stats=false. For more information, see Statistics in Hive in the Apache Hive documentation.

5.9.0 component versions

The components that Amazon EMR installs with this release are listed below. Some are installed as part of big-data application packages. Others are unique to Amazon EMR and installed for system processes and features. These typically start with emr or aws. Big-data application packages in the most recent Amazon EMR release are usually the latest version found in the community. We make community releases available in Amazon EMR as quickly as possible.

Some components in Amazon EMR differ from community versions. These components have a version label in the form CommunityVersion-amzn-EmrVersion. The EmrVersion starts at 0. For example, if open source community component named myapp-component with version 2.2 has been modified three times for inclusion in different Amazon EMR releases, its release version is listed as 2.2-amzn-2.
