Release 4.7.2 Release Notes

The following release notes include information for Amazon EMR 4.7.2.

Release date: July 15, 2016

Features

• Upgraded to Mahout 0.12.2

• Upgraded to Presto 0.148

• Upgraded to Spark 1.6.2

• You can now create an AWSCredentialsProvider for use with EMRFS using a URI as a parameter. For more information, see Create an AWSCredentialsProvider for EMRFS.

• EMRFS now allows users to configure a custom DynamoDB endpoint for their Consistent View metadata using the fs.s3.consistent.dynamodb.endpoint property in emrfs-site.xml.

• Added a script in /usr/bin called spark-example, which wraps /usr/lib/spark/spark/bin/run-example so you can run examples directly. For instance, to run the SparkPi example that comes with the Spark distribution, you can run spark-example SparkPi 100 from the command line or using command-runner.jar as a step in the API.

Known Issues Resolved from Previous Releases

• Fixed an issue where Oozie had the spark-assembly.jar was not in the correct location when Spark was also installed, which resulted in failure to launch Spark applications with Oozie.

• Fixed an issue with Spark Log4j-based logging in YARN containers.

Amazon EMR 4.7.0 is deprecated. Use Amazon EMR 4.7.1 or later instead.

Release date: June 2, 2016

Features

• Added Apache Phoenix 4.7.0

• Added Apache Tez 0.8.3

• Upgraded to HBase 1.2.1

• Upgraded to Mahout 0.12.0

• Upgraded to Presto 0.147

• Java 8

  Except for Presto, OpenJDK 1.7 is the default JDK used for all applications. However, both OpenJDK 1.7 and 1.8 are installed. For information about how to set JAVA_HOME for applications, see Configuring Applications to Use Java 8.

Known Issues Resolved from Previous Releases

• Fixed a kernel issue that significantly affected performance on Throughput Optimized HDD (st1) EBS volumes for Amazon EMR in emr-4.6.0.

• Fixed an issue where a cluster would fail if any HDFS encryption zone were specified without choosing Hadoop as an application.

• Changed the default HDFS write policy from RoundRobin to AvailableSpaceVolumeChoosingPolicy. Some volumes were not properly utilized with the RoundRobin configuration, which resulted in failed core nodes and an unreliable HDFS.

• Fixed an issue with the EMRFS CLI, which would cause an exception when creating the default DynamoDB metadata table for consistent views.

• Fixed a deadlock issue in EMRFS that potentially occurred during multipart rename and copy operations.

• Fixed an issue with EMRFS that caused the CopyPart size default to be 5 MB. The default is now properly set at 128 MB.

• Fixed an issue with the Zeppelin upstart configuration that potentially prevented you from stopping the service.

• Fixed an issue with Spark and Zeppelin, which prevented you from using the s3a:// URI scheme because /usr/lib/hadoop/hadoop-aws.jar was not properly loaded in their respective classpath.

• Backported HUE-2484.

• Backported a commit from Hue 3.9.0 (no JIRA exists) to fix an issue with the HBase browser sample.

• Backported HIVE-9073.

Release 4.6.0 Application Versions

The following applications are supported in this release: Ganglia, Hadoop, HBase, HCatalog, Hive, Hue, Mahout, Oozie-Sandbox, Pig, Presto-Sandbox, Spark, Sqoop-Sandbox, Zeppelin-Sandbox, and ZooKeeper-Sandbox.

The diagram below depicts the application versions available in this release of Amazon EMR and the application versions in the preceding four Amazon EMR releases.

For a comprehensive history of application versions for each release of Amazon EMR, see the following diagrams:

• Application Versions for 5.x Series Amazon EMR Releases (PNG)

• Application Versions for 4.x Series Amazon EMR Releases (PNG)

Release 4.6.0 Release Notes

The following release notes include information for the Amazon EMR 4.6.0 release.

• Added HBase 1.2.0

• Added Zookeeper-Sandbox 3.4.8

• Upgraded to Presto-Sandbox 0.143

• Amazon EMR releases are now based on Amazon Linux 2016.03.0. For more information, see https://aws.amazon.com/amazon-linux-ami/2016.03-release-notes/.

• Issue Affecting Throughput Optimized HDD (st1) EBS Volume Types

  An issue in the Linux kernel versions 4.2 and above significantly affects performance on Throughput Optimized HDD (st1) EBS volumes for EMR. This release (emr-4.6.0) uses kernel version 4.4.5 and hence is impacted. Therefore, we recommend not using emr-4.6.0 if you want to use st1 EBS volumes. You can use emr-4.5.0 or prior Amazon EMR releases with st1 without impact. In addition, we provide the fix with future releases.

• Python Defaults

  Python 3.4 is now installed by default, but Python 2.7 remains the system default. You may configure Python 3.4 as the system default using either a bootstrap action; you can use the configuration API to set PYSPARK_PYTHON export to /usr/bin/python3.4 in the spark-env classification to affect the Python version used by PySpark.

• Java 8

  Except for Presto, OpenJDK 1.7 is the default JDK used for all applications. However, both OpenJDK 1.7 and 1.8 are installed. For information about how to set JAVA_HOME for applications, see Configuring Applications to Use Java 8.

Known Issues Resolved from Previous Releases

• Fixed an issue where application provisioning would sometimes randomly fail due to a generated password.

• Previously, mysqld was installed on all nodes. Now, it is only installed on the master instance and only if the chosen application includes mysql-server as a component. Currently, the following applications include the mysql-server component: HCatalog, Hive, Hue, Presto-Sandbox, and Sqoop-Sandbox.

• Changed yarn.scheduler.maximum-allocation-vcores to 80 from the default of 32, which fixes an issue introduced in emr-4.4.0 that mainly occurs with Spark while using the maximizeResourceAllocation option in a cluster whose core instance type is one of a few large instance types that have the YARN vcores set higher than 32; namely c4.8xlarge, cc2.8xlarge, hs1.8xlarge, i2.8xlarge, m2.4xlarge, r3.8xlarge, d2.8xlarge, or m4.10xlarge were affected by this issue.

• s3-dist-cp now uses EMRFS for all Amazon S3 nominations and no longer stages to a temporary HDFS directory.

• Fixed an issue with exception handling for client-side encryption multipart uploads.

• Added an option to allow users to change the Amazon S3 storage class. By default this setting is STANDARD. The emrfs-site configuration classification setting is fs.s3.storageClass and the possible values are STANDARD, STANDARD_IA, and REDUCED_REDUNDANCY. For more information about storage classes, see Storage Classes in the Amazon Simple Storage Service Developer Guide.

Release 4.4.0 Release Notes

The following release notes include information for the Amazon EMR 4.4.0 release.

Release date: March 14, 2016

Features

• Added HCatalog 1.0.0

• Added Sqoop-Sandbox 1.4.6

• Upgraded to Presto 0.136

• Upgraded to Zeppelin 0.5.6

• Upgraded to Mahout 0.11.1

• Enabled dynamicResourceAllocation by default.

• Added a table of all configuration classifications for the release. For more information, see the Configuration Classifications table in Configuring Applications.

Known Issues Resolved from Previous Releases

• Fixed an issue where the maximizeResourceAllocation setting would not reserve enough memory for YARN ApplicationMaster daemons.

• Fixed an issue encountered with a custom DNS. If any entries in resolve.conf precede the custom entries provided, then the custom entries are not resolvable. This behavior was affected by clusters in a VPC where the default VPC name server is inserted as the top entry in resolve.conf.

• Fixed an issue where the default Python moved to version 2.7 and boto was not installed for that version.

• Fixed an issue where YARN containers and Spark applications would generate a unique Ganglia round robin database (rrd) file, which resulted in the first disk attached to the instance filling up. Because of this fix, YARN container level metrics have been disabled and Spark application level metrics have been disabled.

• Fixed an issue in log pusher where it would delete all empty log folders. The effect was that the Hive CLI was not able to log because log pusher was removing the empty user folder under /var/log/hive.

• Fixed an issue affecting Hive imports, which affected partitioning and resulted in an error during import.

• Fixed an issue where EMRFS and s3-dist-cp did not properly handle bucket names that contain periods.

• Changed a behavior in EMRFS so that in versioning-enabled buckets the _$folder$ marker file is not continuously created, which may contribute to improved performance for versioning-enabled buckets.

• Changed the behavior in EMRFS such that it does not use instruction files except for cases where client-side encryption is enabled. If you want to delete instruction files while using client-side encryption, you can set the emrfs-site.xml property, fs.s3.cse.cryptoStorageMode.deleteInstructionFiles.enabled, to true.

• Changed YARN log aggregation to retain logs at the aggregation destination for two days. The default destination is your cluster HDFS storage. If you want to change this duration, change the value of yarn.log-aggregation.retain-seconds using the yarn-site configuration classification when you create your cluster. As always, you can save your application logs to Amazon S3 using the log-uri parameter when you create your cluster.

Release 4.3.0 Application Versions

The following applications are supported in this release: Ganglia, Hadoop, Hive, Hue, Mahout, Oozie-Sandbox, Pig, Presto-Sandbox, Spark, and Zeppelin-Sandbox.

The diagram below depicts the application versions available in this release of Amazon EMR and the application versions in the preceding four Amazon EMR releases.

For a comprehensive history of application versions for each release of Amazon EMR, see the following diagrams:

Release 4.3.0 Release Notes

The following release notes include information for the Amazon EMR 4.3.0 release.

Release date: January 19, 2016

Features

• Upgraded to Hadoop 2.7.1

• Upgraded to Spark 1.6.0

• Upgraded Ganglia to 3.7.2

• Upgraded Presto to 0.130

• Amazon EMR made some changes to spark.dynamicAllocation.enabled when it is set to true; it is false by default. When set to true, this affects the defaults set by the maximizeResourceAllocation setting:

  • If spark.dynamicAllocation.enabled is set to true, spark.executor.instances is not set by maximizeResourceAllocation.

  • The spark.driver.memory setting is now configured based on the instance types in the cluster in a similar way to how spark.executors.memory is set. However, because the Spark driver application may run on either the master or one of the core instances (for example, in YARN client and cluster modes, respectively), the spark.driver.memory setting is set based on the instance type of the smaller instance type between these two instance groups.

  • The spark.default.parallelism setting is now set at twice the number of CPU cores available for YARN containers. In previous releases, this was half that value.

  • The calculations for the memory overhead reserved for Spark YARN processes were adjusted to be more accurate, resulting in a small increase in the total amount of memory available to Spark (that is, spark.executor.memory).

Known Issues Resolved from the Previous Releases

• YARN log aggregation is now enabled by default.

• Fixed an issue where logs would not be pushed to Amazon S3 logs bucket for the cluster when YARN log aggregation was enabled.

• YARN container sizes now have a new minimum of 32 across all node types.

• Fixed an issue with Ganglia that caused excessive disk I/O on the master node in large clusters.

• Fixed an issue that prevented applications logs from being pushed to Amazon S3 when a cluster is shutting down.

• Fixed an issue in EMRFS CLI that caused certain commands to fail.

• Fixed an issue with Zeppelin that prevented dependencies from being loaded in the underlying SparkContext.

• Fixed an issue that resulted from issuing a resize attempting to add instances.

• Fixed an issue in Hive where CREATE TABLE AS SELECT makes excessive list calls to Amazon S3.

• Fixed an issue where large clusters would not provision properly when Hue, Oozie, and Ganglia are installed.

• Fixed an issue in s3-dist-cp where it would return a zero exit code even if it failed with an error.

Release 4.3.0 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.
