Unsupported

Billing

  • Billing is not supported on EMR and on-prem platforms.

Jobs

  • Impala jobs are not supported on the HDP platform.

Healthcheck

  • Monitoring the expiration of the SSL Certificates and Kerberos principals in Unravel multi-cluster deployments.

Migration Planning

  • Migration Planning is not supported for the following regions for Azure Data Lake:

    • Germany Central (Sovereign)

    • Germany Northeast (Sovereign)

  • Forecasting and Migration: In a multi-cluster environment, only a single cluster can be configured at a time; hence reports are generated only for that single cluster.

Multi-cluster deployment

  • Unravel does not support multi-cluster management of combined on-prem and cloud clusters.

Pipeline

  • Unravel does not support apps belonging to the same pipeline in a multi-cluster environment but is sourced from different clusters. A pipeline can only contain apps that belong to the same cluster.

Reports

  • Reports are not supported on Databricks and EMR.

Sessions

In Jobs > Sessions, the feature of applying recommendations and then running the newly configured app is not supported.

UI

  • Pig and Cascading applications are not supported.

Bug fixes

  • Data page

    • Size information is not captured in daily KPIs when tables are dropped and recreated. (DATAPAGE-464)

  • Databricks

    • PartitioneNotPruned is not generated for Databricks. (INSIGHTS-122)

  • Security

    • CheckLicenseExpired fails when TLS is enabled. (INSTALL-1549)

  • Kafka

    • Total Fetch Requests per Sec metric in Kafka monitor displays much lesser value than the value displayed on Cloudera Manager. (CUSTOMER-1687)

Known issues

Applications

  • Duplicate apps with the same cluster UID entry are found in Elastic Storage. (ASP-1044)

Platform

  • com.unraveldata.clusteraccess.hdfsconnector.api.HdfsConnectorException error is shown in the yarn_jc_sensor.log file. (PLATFORM-2956)

Kerberos

  • Kerberos can be only disabled manually from the unravel.yaml file. 

     kerberos:
      enabled: False
Reports

  • Cluster discovery

    • If the metric retrieval for a host fails, then the CPU and memory capacity/usage graphs and heatmaps are not displayed.

      This happens on a CDH cluster when the Cloudera Manager agent of a host does not send any heartbeats to the Cloudera Manager server. Such a host is shown as Bad Health in Cloudera Manager. (REPORT-1706)

      Workaround: Ensure that the Cloudera Manager agent sends heartbeats to the Cloudera Manager on all hosts and that none of the hosts are shown as Bad Health.

    • The On-prem Cluster Identity may show an incorrect Spark version on CDH. The report may incorrectly show Spark 1 when Spark 2 is installed on the CDH cluster. (REPORT-1702)

  • The TopX report email contains a link to the Unravel TopX report, instead of showing the report content in the email as in the old reports.

  • Queue analysis: The log file name (unravel_us_1.log) displayed in the error message is incorrect. The correct name of the log file is unravel_sensor.log. (REPORT-1663)

Sessions

  • Spark Analyse session fails in the absence of event logs for the applications present in the session. (SESS-366)

  • Session creation from the Hive application page is not supported. (UIX-3577)

    Workaround: Use the Sessions listing page to create a hive session.

  • The session should be sorted by create date instead of session names. (SESS-368)

  • Status of Application is seen as UNKNOWN in session details when the application has multiple attempts. (SESS-369)

Spark

  • There is a lag seen for SQL Streaming applications. (PLATFORM-2764)

Security

  • If the customer uses an active directory for Kerberos and the samAccountName and principal do not match, this can cause errors when accessing HDFS.

Spark insights

  • For PySpark applications, the processCPUTime and the processCPULoad are not captured properly. (USPARK-626)

Tez

  • SQL events generator generates SQL Like clause event if the query contains like pattern even in the literals. (TEZLLAP-349)

UI

  • The new user interface (UI) can be accessed only from Chrome.

  • In the App summary page for Impala, the Query> Operator view is visible after scrolling down. (UIX-3536).

Workflow

  • Jobs getting falsely labeled as a Tez App for Oozie Sqoop and Shell actions. (PLATFORM-2403)
