None

Improvements and enhancements

None

Unsupported

Billing

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

Data

  • The Data insights feature is not supported for EMR and Databricks clusters.

  • Other than Overview and Tables, the Data page is not supported for EMR and Databricks clusters.

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.

Reports

  • Cluster discovery

      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)

  • When using PostgreSQL, the % sign is duplicated and displayed in the Workload Fit report > Map to single cluster tab. (MIG-42)

  • Cloud Mapping Per Host  report scheduled in v4.6.1.x will not work in v4.7.1.0. Users must schedule a new report. (REPORT-1886)

  • 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)

Sensor

  • The sensor setup script fails with unrecognized arguments. (INSTALL-1667)

Spark

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

    Use the following workaround to get access to Unravel UI.

    1. Stop Unravel.

      <unravel_installation_directory>/unravel/manager stop

    2. Copy the key and certificates to a directory.

      cp /usr/local/unravel/data/certificates/new/hkl20043024.hk.abcd.key /usr/local/unravel/data/certificates/server_key.pem

cp /usr/local/unravel/data/certificates/new/hkl20043024.hk.abcd.pem /usr/local/unravel/data/certificates/server_cert.pem

    3. Enable the Truststore.

      <unravel_installation_directory>/unravel/manager config tls trust enable

    4. Apply changes.

      <unravel_installation_directory>/unravel/manager config apply

    5. Start Unravel.

      <unravel_installation_directory>/unravel/manager start
Spark insights

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