Release date: 08/10/2022

This release applies to HDInsight 4.0. HDInsight release is made available to all regions over several days.

HDInsight uses safe deployment practices, which involve gradual region deployment. It might take up to 10 business days for a new release or a new version to be available in all regions.

New Feature

1. Attach external disks in HDI Hadoop/Spark clusters

HDInsight cluster comes with predefined disk space based on SKU. This space might not be sufficient in large job scenarios.

This new feature allows you to add more disks in cluster, which used as node manager local directory. Add number of disks to worker nodes during HIVE and Spark cluster creation, while the selected disks are part of node manager’s local directories.

Note

The added disks are only configured for node manager local directories.

For more information, see here

2. Selective logging analysis

Selective logging analysis is now available on all regions for public preview. You can connect your cluster to a log analytics workspace. Once enabled, you can see the logs and metrics like HDInsight Security Logs, Yarn Resource Manager, System Metrics etc. You can monitor workloads and see how they're affecting cluster stability. Selective logging allows you to enable/disable all the tables or enable selective tables in log analytics workspace. You can adjust the source type for each table, since in new version of Geneva monitoring one table has multiple sources.

The Geneva monitoring system uses mdsd(MDS daemon) which is a monitoring agent and fluentd for collecting logs using unified logging layer.
Selective Logging uses script action to disable/enable tables and their log types. Since it doesn't open any new ports or change any existing security setting hence, there are no security changes.
Script Action runs in parallel on all specified nodes and changes the configuration files for disabling/enabling tables and their log types.

Deprecation notices

Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets on HDInsight

HDInsight will no longer use Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets to provision the clusters, no breaking change is expected. Existing HDInsight clusters on virtual machine scale sets have no impact, any new clusters on latest images will no longer use Virtual Machine Scale Sets.

Scaling of Azure HDInsight HBase workloads will now be supported only using manual scale

Starting from March 01, 2022, HDInsight will only support manual scale for HBase, there's no impact on running clusters. New HBase clusters won't be able to enable schedule based Autoscaling. For more information on how to  manually scale your HBase cluster, refer our documentation on Manually scaling Azure HDInsight clusters

Release date: 12/27/2021

HDInsight 4.0: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS

HDInsight 4.0 image has been updated to mitigate Log4j vulnerability as described in Microsoft’s Response to CVE-2021-44228 Apache Log4j 2.

Note

Any HDI 4.0 clusters created post 27 Dec 2021 00:00 UTC are created with an updated version of the image which mitigates the log4j vulnerabilities. Hence, customers need not patch/reboot these clusters.
For new HDInsight 4.0 clusters created between 16 Dec 2021 at 01:15 UTC and 27 Dec 2021 00:00 UTC, HDInsight 3.6 or in pinned subscriptions after 16 Dec 2021 the patch is auto applied within the hour in which the cluster is created, however customers must then reboot their nodes for the patching to complete (except for Kafka Management nodes, which are automatically rebooted).

Release date: 07/27/2021

This release applies for both HDInsight 3.6 and HDInsight 4.0. HDInsight release is made available to all regions over several days. The release date here indicates the first region release date. If you don't see following changes, wait for the release being live in your region in several days.

New features

Azure HDInsight support for Restricted Public Connectivity is generally available on Oct 15, 2021

Azure HDInsight now supports restricted public connectivity in all regions. Below are some of the key highlights of this capability:

Ability to reverse resource provider to cluster communication such that it's outbound from the cluster to the resource provider
Support for bringing your own Private Link enabled resources (For example, storage, SQL, key vault) for HDInsight cluster to access the resources over private network only
No public IP addresses are resource provisioned

By using this new capability, you can also skip the inbound network security group (NSG) service tag rules for HDInsight management IPs. Learn more about restricting public connectivity

Azure HDInsight support for Azure Private Link is generally available on Oct 15 2021

You can now use private endpoints to connect to your HDInsight clusters over private link. Private link can be used in cross VNET scenarios where VNET peering isn't available or enabled.

Azure Private Link enables you to access Azure PaaS Services (for example, Azure Storage and SQL Database) and Azure hosted customer-owned/partner services over a private endpoint in your virtual network.

Traffic between your virtual network and the service travels the Microsoft backbone network. Exposing your service to the public internet is no longer necessary.

Let more at enable private link. 

New Azure Monitor integration experience (Preview)

The new Azure monitor integration experience will be Preview in East US and West Europe with this release. Learn more details about the new Azure monitor experience here.

Deprecation

HDInsight 3.6 version is deprecated effective Oct 01, 2022.

Behavior changes

HDInsight Interactive Query only supports schedule-based Autoscale

As customer scenarios grow more mature and diverse, we've identified some limitations with Interactive Query (LLAP) load-based Autoscale. These limitations are caused by the nature of LLAP query dynamics, future load prediction accuracy issues, and issues in the LLAP scheduler's task redistribution. Due to these limitations, users might see their queries run slower on LLAP clusters when Autoscale is enabled. The effect on performance can outweigh the cost benefits of Autoscale.

Starting from July 2021, the Interactive Query workload in HDInsight only supports schedule-based Autoscale. You can no longer enable load-based autoscale on new Interactive Query clusters. Existing running clusters can continue to run with the known limitations described above.

Microsoft recommends that you move to a schedule-based Autoscale for LLAP. You can analyze your cluster's current usage pattern through the Grafana Hive dashboard. For more information, see Automatically scale Azure HDInsight clusters.

Upcoming changes

The following changes happen in upcoming releases.

Built-in LLAP component in ESP Spark cluster will be removed

HDInsight 4.0 ESP Spark cluster has built-in LLAP components running on both head nodes. The LLAP components in ESP Spark cluster were originally added for HDInsight 3.6 ESP Spark, but has no real user case for HDInsight 4.0 ESP Spark. In the next release scheduled in Sep 2021, HDInsight will remove the built-in LLAP component from HDInsight 4.0 ESP Spark cluster. This change helps to offload head node workload and avoid confusion between ESP Spark and ESP Interactive Hive cluster type.

Price Correction for HDInsight `Dv2` Virtual Machines

A pricing error was corrected on April 25, 2021, for the Dv2 VM series on HDInsight. The pricing error resulted in a reduced charge on some customer's bills prior to April 25, and with the correction, prices now match what had been advertised on the HDInsight pricing page and the HDInsight pricing calculator. The pricing error impacted customers in the following regions who used Dv2 VMs:

Canada Central
Canada East
East Asia
South Africa North
Southeast Asia
UAE Central

Starting on April 25, 2021, the corrected amount for the Dv2 VMs will be on your account. Customer notifications were sent to subscription owners prior to the change. You can use the Pricing calculator, HDInsight pricing page, or the Create HDInsight cluster blade in the Azure portal to see the corrected costs for Dv2 VMs in your region.

No other action is needed from you. The price correction will only apply for usage on or after April 25, 2021 in the specified regions, and not to any usage prior to this date. To ensure you have the most performant and cost-effective solution, we recommended that you review the pricing, VCPU, and RAM for your Dv2 clusters and compare the Dv2 specifications to the Ev3 VMs to see if your solution would benefit from utilizing one of the newer VM series.

Release date: 06/02/2021

The OS versions for this release are:

HDInsight 3.6: Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS
HDInsight 4.0: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS

New features

OS version upgrade

As referenced in Ubuntu's release cycle, the Ubuntu 16.04 kernel reaches End of Life (EOL) in April 2021. We started rolling out the new HDInsight 4.0 cluster image running on Ubuntu 18.04 with this release. Newly created HDInsight 4.0 clusters run on Ubuntu 18.04 by default once available. Existing clusters on Ubuntu 16.04 runs as is with full support.

HDInsight 3.6 will continue to run on Ubuntu 16.04. It will change to Basic support (from Standard support) beginning 1 July 2021. For more information about dates and support options, see Azure HDInsight versions. Ubuntu 18.04 won't be supported for HDInsight 3.6. If you'd like to use Ubuntu 18.04, you'll need to migrate your clusters to HDInsight 4.0.

You need to drop and recreate your clusters if you'd like to move existing HDInsight 4.0 clusters to Ubuntu 18.04. Plan to create or recreate your clusters after Ubuntu 18.04 support becomes available.

After creating the new cluster, you can SSH to your cluster and run sudo lsb_release -a to verify that it runs on Ubuntu 18.04. We recommend that you test your applications in your test subscriptions first before moving to production.

Scaling optimizations on HBase accelerated writes clusters

HDInsight made some improvements and optimizations on scaling for HBase accelerated write enabled clusters. Learn more about HBase accelerated write.

Behavior changes

Disable Stardard_A5 VM size as Head Node for HDInsight 4.0

HDInsight cluster Head Node is responsible for initializing and managing the cluster. Standard_A5 VM size has reliability issues as Head Node for HDInsight 4.0. Starting from this release, customers won't be able to create new clusters with Standard_A5 VM size as Head Node. You can use other two-core VMs like E2_v3 or E2s_v3. Existing clusters will run as is. A four-core VM is highly recommended for Head Node to ensure the high availability and reliability of your production HDInsight clusters.

Network interface resource not visible for clusters running on Azure virtual machine scale sets

HDInsight is gradually migrating to Azure virtual machine scale sets. Network interfaces for virtual machines are no longer visible to customers for clusters that use Azure virtual machine scale sets.

Upcoming changes

The following changes will happen in upcoming releases.

HDInsight Interactive Query only supports schedule-based Autoscale

Starting from July 2021, the Interactive Query workload in HDInsight only supports schedule-based Autoscale. You can no longer enable Autoscale on new Interactive Query clusters. Existing running clusters can continue to run with the known limitations described above.

VM host naming will be changed on July 1, 2021

HDInsight now uses Azure virtual machines to provision the cluster. The service is gradually migrating to Azure virtual machine scale sets. This migration will change the cluster host name FQDN name format, and the numbers in the host name won't be guarantee in sequence. If you want to get the FQDN names for each node, refer to Find the Host names of Cluster Nodes.

Move to Azure virtual machine scale sets

HDInsight now uses Azure virtual machines to provision the cluster. The service will gradually migrate to Azure virtual machine scale sets. The entire process might take months.

Network interface resource not visible for clusters running on Azure virtual machine scale sets

Upcoming changes

The following changes will happen in upcoming releases.

HDInsight Interactive Query only supports schedule-based Autoscale

As customer scenarios grow more mature and diverse, we've identified some limitations with Interactive Query (LLAP) load-based Autoscale. These limitations are caused by the nature of LLAP query dynamics, future load prediction accuracy issues, and issues in the LLAP scheduler's task redistribution. Due to these limitations, users might see their queries run slower on LLAP clusters when Autoscale is enabled. The impact on performance can outweigh the cost benefits of Autoscale.

OS version upgrade

HDInsight clusters are currently running on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. As referenced in Ubuntu’s release cycle, the Ubuntu 16.04 kernel will reach End of Life (EOL) in April 2021.

Behavior changes

ESP Spark cluster head node size change

The minimum allowed head node size for ESP Spark cluster is changed to Standard_D13_V2. VMs with low cores and memory as head node could cause ESP cluster issues because of relatively low CPU and memory capacity. Starting from release, use SKUs higher than Standard_D13_V2 and Standard_E16_V3 as head node for ESP Spark clusters.

A minimum 4-core VM is required for Head Node

A minimum 4-core VM is required for Head Node to ensure the high availability and reliability of HDInsight clusters. Starting from April 6 2020, customers can only choose 4-core or above VM as Head Node for the new HDInsight clusters. Existing clusters will continue to run as expected.

Cluster worker node provisioning change

When 80% of the worker nodes are ready, the cluster enters operational stage. At this stage, customers can do all the data plane operations like running scripts and jobs. But customers can't do any control plane operation like scaling up/down. Only deletion is supported.

After the operational stage, the cluster waits another 60 minutes for the remaining 20% worker nodes. At the end of this 60 minute period, the cluster moves to the running stage, even if all of worker nodes are still not available. Once a cluster enters the running stage, you can use it as normal. Both control plan operations like scaling up/down, and data plan operations like running scripts and jobs are accepted. If some of the requested worker nodes aren't available, the cluster will be marked as partial success. You are charged for the nodes that were deployed successfully.

Create new service principal through HDInsight

Previously, with cluster creation, customers can create a new service principal to access the connected ADLS Gen 1 account in Azure portal. Starting June 15, 2020, new service principal creation is not possible in the HDInsight creation workflow, only existing service principal is supported. See Create Service Principal and Certificates using Azure Active Directory.

Time out for script actions with cluster creation

HDInsight supports running script actions with cluster creation. From this release, all script actions with cluster creation must finish within 60 minutes, or they time out. Script actions submitted to running clusters aren't impacted. Learn more details here.

New features

TLS 1.2 enforcement

Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) are cryptographic protocols that provide communications security over a computer network. Learn more about TLS. HDInsight uses TLS 1.2 on public HTTP's endpoints but TLS 1.1 is still supported for backward compatibility.

With this release, customers can opt into TLS 1.2 only for all connections through the public cluster endpoint. To support this, the new property minSupportedTlsVersion is introduced and can be specified during cluster creation. If the property isn't set, the cluster still supports TLS 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2, which is the same as today's behavior. Customers can set the value for this property to "1.2", which means that the cluster only supports TLS 1.2 and above. For more information, see Transport Layer Security.

Bring your own key for disk encryption

All managed disks in HDInsight are protected with Azure Storage Service Encryption (SSE). Data on those disks is encrypted by Microsoft-managed keys by default. Starting from this release, you can Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) for disk encryption and manage it using Azure Key Vault. BYOK encryption is a one-step configuration during cluster creation with no other cost. Just register HDInsight as a managed identity with Azure Key Vault and add the encryption key when you create your cluster. For more information, see Customer-managed key disk encryption.

New features

Service tags

Service tags simplify security for Azure virtual machines and Azure virtual networks by enabling you to easily restrict network access to the Azure services. You can use service tags in your network security group (NSG) rules to allow or deny traffic to a specific Azure service globally or per Azure region. Azure provides the maintenance of IP addresses underlying each tag. HDInsight service tags for network security groups (NSGs) are groups of IP addresses for health and management services. These groups help minimize complexity for security rule creation. HDInsight customers can enable service tag through Azure portal, PowerShell, and REST API. For more information, see Network security group (NSG) service tags for Azure HDInsight.

Custom Ambari DB

HDInsight now allows you to use your own SQL DB for Apache Ambari. You can configure this custom Ambari DB from the Azure portal or through Resource Manager template. This feature allows you to choose the right SQL DB for your processing and capacity needs. You can also upgrade easily to match business growth requirements. For more information, see Set up HDInsight clusters with a custom Ambari DB.

Upcoming changes

The following changes will happen in upcoming releases.

Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 enforcement

Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) are cryptographic protocols that provide communications security over a computer network. For more information, see Transport Layer Security. While Azure HDInsight clusters accept TLS 1.2 connections on public HTTPS endpoints, TLS 1.1 is still supported for backward compatibility with older clients.

Starting from the next release, you will be able to opt in and configure your new HDInsight clusters to only accept TLS 1.2 connections.

Later in the year, starting on 6/30/2020, Azure HDInsight will enforce TLS 1.2 or later versions for all HTTPS connections. We recommend that you ensure that all your clients are ready to handle TLS 1.2 or later versions.

HDInsight Identity Broker (HIB) (Preview)

HDInsight Identity Broker (HIB) enables users to sign in to Apache Ambari using multifactor authentication (MFA) and get the required Kerberos tickets without needing password hashes in Azure Active Directory Domain Services (AAD-DS). Currently HIB is only available for clusters deployed through Azure Resource Management (ARM) template.

Kafka REST API Proxy (Preview)

Kafka REST API Proxy provides one-click deployment of highly available REST proxy with Kafka cluster via secured Azure AD authorization and OAuth protocol.

Auto scale

Autoscale for Azure HDInsight is now generally available across all regions for Apache Spark and Hadoop cluster types. This feature makes it possible to manage big data analytics workloads in a more cost-efficient and productive way. Now you can optimize use of your HDInsight clusters and only pay for what you need.

Depending on your requirements, you can choose between load-based and schedule-based autoscaling. Load-based Autoscale can scale the cluster size up and down based on the current resource needs while schedule-based Autoscale can change the cluster size based on a predefined schedule.

Autoscale support for HBase and LLAP workload is also public preview. For more information, see Automatically scale Azure HDInsight clusters.

HDInsight Accelerated Writes for Apache HBase

Accelerated Writes uses Azure premium SSD managed disks to improve performance of the Apache HBase Write Ahead Log (WAL). For more information, see Azure HDInsight Accelerated Writes for Apache HBase.

Custom Ambari DB

HDInsight now offers a new capacity to enable customers to use their own SQL DB for Ambari. Now customers can choose the right SQL DB for Ambari and easily upgrade it based on their own business growth requirement. The deployment is done with an Azure Resource Manager template. For more information, see Set up HDInsight clusters with a custom Ambari DB.

F-series virtual machines are now available with HDInsight

F-series virtual machines(VMs) is a good choice to get started with HDInsight with light processing requirements. At a lower per-hour list price, the F-series are the best value in price-performance in the Azure portfolio based on the Azure Compute Unit (ACU) per vCPU. For more information, see Selecting the right VM size for your Azure HDInsight cluster.

Mahout

In HDP-2.3.x and 2.4.x, instead of shipping a specific Apache release of Mahout, we synchronized to a particular revision point on Apache Mahout trunk. This revision point is after the 0.9.0 release, but before the 0.10.0 release. This provides a large number of bug fixes and functional enhancements over the 0.9.0 release, but provides a stable release of the Mahout functionality before the complete conversion to new Spark-based Mahout in 0.10.0.

The revision point chosen for Mahout in HDP 2.3.x and 2.4.x is from the "mahout-0.10.x" branch of Apache Mahout, as of 19 December 2014, revision 0f037cb03e77c096 in GitHub.

In HDP-2.5.x and 2.6.x, we removed the "commons-httpclient" library from Mahout because we view it as an obsolete library with possible security issues, and upgraded the Hadoop-Client in Mahout to version 2.7.3, the same version used in HDP-2.5. As a result:

Previously compiled Mahout jobs will need to be recompiled in the HDP-2.5 or 2.6 environment.
There's a small possibility that some Mahout jobs might encounter "ClassNotFoundException" or "could not load class" errors related to "org.apache.commons.httpclient", "net.java.dev.jets3t", or related class name prefixes. If these errors happen, you might consider whether to manually install the needed jars in your classpath for the job, if the risk of security issues in the obsolete library is acceptable in your environment.
There's an even smaller possibility that some Mahout jobs might encounter crashes in Mahout's hbase-client code calls to the hadoop-common libraries, due to binary compatibility problems. Regrettably, there's no way to resolve this issue except revert to the HDP-2.4.2 version of Mahout, which might have security issues. Again, this should be unusual, and is unlikely to occur in any given Mahout job suite.

Fixed Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures

This section covers all Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) that are addressed in this release.

CVE-2017-7676

Summary: Apache Ranger policy evaluation ignores characters after ‘*’ wildcard character
Severity: Critical
Vendor: Hortonworks
Versions Affected: HDInsight 3.6 versions including Apache Ranger versions 0.5.x/0.6.x/0.7.0
Users affected: Environments that use Ranger policies with characters after ‘’ wildcard character – like mytest, test*.txt
Impact: Policy resource matcher ignores characters after ‘*’ wildcard character, which can result in unintended behavior.
Fix detail: Ranger policy resource matcher was updated to correctly handle wildcard matches.
Recommended Action: Upgrade to HDI 3.6 (with Apache Ranger 0.7.1+).

CVE-2017-7677

Summary: Apache Ranger Hive Authorizer should check for RWX permission when external location is specified
Severity: Critical
Vendor: Hortonworks
Versions Affected: HDInsight 3.6 versions including Apache Ranger versions 0.5.x/0.6.x/0.7.0
Users affected: Environments that use external location for hive tables
Impact: In environments that use external location for hive tables, Apache Ranger Hive Authorizer should check for RWX permission for the external location specified for create table.
Fix detail: Ranger Hive Authorizer was updated to correctly handle permission check with external location.
Recommended Action: Users should upgrade to HDI 3.6 (with Apache Ranger 0.7.1+).

CVE-2017-9799

Summary: Potential execution of code as the wrong user in Apache Storm
Severity: Important
Vendor: Hortonworks
Versions Affected: HDP 2.4.0, HDP-2.5.0, HDP-2.6.0
Users affected: Users who use Storm in secure mode and are using blobstore to distribute topology based artifacts or using the blobstore to distribute any topology resources.
Impact: Under some situations and configurations of storm it's theoretically possible for the owner of a topology to trick the supervisor to launch a worker as a different, non-root, user. In the worst case, this could lead to secure credentials of the other user being compromised. This vulnerability only applies to Apache Storm installations with security enabled.
Mitigation: Upgrade to HDP-2.6.2.1 as there are currently no workarounds.

CVE-2016-4970

Summary: handler/ssl/OpenSslEngine.java in Netty 4.0.x before 4.0.37. Final and 4.1.x before 4.1.1. Final allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop)
Severity: Moderate
Vendor: Hortonworks
Versions Affected: HDP 2.x.x since 2.3.x
Users Affected: All users that use HDFS.
Impact: Impact is low as Hortonworks does not use OpenSslEngine.java directly in Hadoop codebase.
Recommended Action: Upgrade to HDP 2.6.3.

CVE-2016-8746

Summary: Apache Ranger path matching issue in policy evaluation
Severity: Normal
Vendor: Hortonworks
Versions Affected: All HDP 2.5 versions including Apache Ranger versions 0.6.0/0.6.1/0.6.2
Users affected: All users of the ranger policy admin tool.
Impact: Ranger policy engine incorrectly matches paths in certain conditions when a policy contains wildcards and recursive flags.
Fix detail: Fixed policy evaluation logic
Recommended Action: Users should upgrade to HDP 2.5.4+ (with Apache Ranger 0.6.3+) or HDP 2.6+ (with Apache Ranger 0.7.0+)

CVE-2016-8751

Summary: Apache Ranger stored cross site scripting issue
Severity: Normal
Vendor: Hortonworks
Versions Affected: All HDP 2.3/2.4/2.5 versions including Apache Ranger versions 0.5.x/0.6.0/0.6.1/0.6.2
Users affected: All users of the ranger policy admin tool.
Impact: Apache Ranger is vulnerable to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting when entering custom policy conditions. Admin users can store some arbitrary JavaScript code execute when normal users sign in and access policies.
Fix detail: Added logic to sanitize the user input.
Recommended Action: Users should upgrade to HDP 2.5.4+ (with Apache Ranger 0.6.3+) or HDP 2.6+ (with Apache Ranger 0.7.0+)

Fixed issues for support

Behavioral changes

Apache Component	Apache JIRA	Summary	Details
Spark 2.3	N/A	Changes as documented in the Apache Spark release notes	- There's a "Deprecation" document and a "Change of behavior" guide, https://spark.apache.org/releases/spark-release-2-3-0.html#deprecations - For SQL part, there's another detailed "Migration" guide (from 2.2 to 2.3), https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-programming-guide.html#upgrading-from-spark-sql-22-to-23\|
Spark	HIVE-12505	Spark job completes successfully but there's an HDFS disk quota full error	Scenario: Running insert overwrite when a quota is set on the Trash folder of the user who runs the command. Previous Behavior: The job succeeds even though it fails to move the data to the Trash. The result can wrongly contain some of the data previously present in the table. New Behavior: When the move to the Trash folder fails, the files are permanently deleted.
Kafka 1.0	N/A	Changes as documented in the Apache Spark release notes	https://kafka.apache.org/10/documentation.html#upgrade_100_notable
Hive/ Ranger		Another ranger hive policies required for INSERT OVERWRITE	Scenario: Another ranger hive policies required for INSERT OVERWRITE Previous behavior: Hive INSERT OVERWRITE queries succeed as usual. New behavior: Hive INSERT OVERWRITE queries are unexpectedly failing after upgrading to HDP-2.6.x with the error: Error while compiling statement: FAILED: HiveAccessControlException Permission denied: user jdoe does not have WRITE privilege on /tmp/(state=42000,code=40000) As of HDP-2.6.0, Hive INSERT OVERWRITE* queries require a Ranger URI policy to allow write operations, even if the user has write privilege granted through HDFS policy. Workaround/Expected Customer Action: 1. Create a new policy under the Hive repository. 2. In the dropdown where you see Database, select URI. 3. Update the path (Example: /tmp/*) 4. Add the users and group and save. 5. Retry the insert query.
HDFS	N/A	HDFS should support for multiple `KMS Uris`	Previous Behavior: dfs.encryption.key.provider.uri property was used to configure the KMS provider path. New Behavior: dfs.encryption.key.provider.uri is now deprecated in favor of hadoop.security.key.provider.path to configure the KMS provider path.
Zeppelin	ZEPPELIN-3271	Option for disabling scheduler	Component Affected: Zeppelin-Server Previous Behavior: In previous releases of Zeppelin, there was no option for disabling scheduler. New Behavior: By default, users will no longer see scheduler, as it's disabled by default. Workaround/Expected Customer Action: If you want to enable scheduler, you will need to add azeppelin.notebook.cron.enable with value of true under custom zeppelin site in Zeppelin settings from Ambari.

Known issues

HDInsight integration with ADLS Gen 2 There are two issues on HDInsight ESP clusters using Azure Data Lake Storage Gen 2 with user directories and permissions:
1. Home directories for users aren't getting created on Head Node 1. As a workaround, create the directories manually and changes ownership to the respective user’s UPN.
2. Permissions on /hdp directory are currently not set to 751. This needs to be set to
```
chmod 751 /hdp 
chmod –R 755 /hdp/apps
```
Spark 2.3
- [SPARK-23523][SQL] Incorrect result caused by the rule OptimizeMetadataOnlyQuery
- [SPARK-23406] Bugs in stream-stream self-joins
- Spark sample notebooks aren't available when Azure Data Lake Storage (Gen2) is default storage of the cluster.
Enterprise Security Package
- Spark Thrift Server doesn't accept connections from ODBC clients. Workaround steps:
  1. Wait for about 15 minutes after cluster creation.
  2. Check ranger UI for existence of hivesampletable_policy.
  3. Restart Spark service. STS connection should work now.
Workaround for Ranger service check failure
- RANGER-1607: Workaround for Ranger service check failure while upgrading to HDP 2.6.2 from previous HDP versions.
  
  Note
  
  Only when Ranger is SSL enabled.
This issue arises when attempting to upgrade to HDP-2.6.1 from previous HDP versions through Ambari. Ambari uses a curl call to do a service check to Ranger service in Ambari. If the JDK version used by Ambari is JDK-1.7, the curl call will fail with the below error:

curl: (35) error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure

The reason for this error is the tomcat version used in Ranger is Tomcat-7.0.7*. Using JDK-1.7 conflicts with default ciphers provided in Tomcat-7.0.7*.

You can resolve this issue in two ways:
- Update the JDK used in Ambari from JDK-1.7 to JDK-1.8 (see the section Change the JDK Version in the Ambari Reference Guide).
- If you want to continue supporting a JDK-1.7 environment:
  1. Add the property ranger.tomcat.ciphers in the ranger-admin-site section in your Ambari Ranger configuration with the below value:
    
    SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5, SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
  2. If your environment is configured for Ranger-KMS, add the property ranger.tomcat.ciphers in theranger-kms-site section in your Ambari Ranger configuration with the below value:
    
    SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5, SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
Note

The noted values are working examples and might not be indicative of your environment. Ensure that the way you set these properties matches how your environment is configured.

RangerUI: Escape of policy condition text entered in the policy form

Component Affected: Ranger

Description of Problem

If a user wants to create policy with custom policy conditions and the expression or text contains special characters, then policy enforcement won't work. Special characters are converted into ASCII before saving the policy into the database.

Special Characters: & < > " ` '

For example, the condition tags.attributes['type']='abc' would get converted to the following once the policy is saved.

tags.attds['dsds']='cssdfs'

You can see the policy condition with these characters by opening the policy in edit mode.

Workaround

Option #1: Create/Update policy via Ranger REST API

REST URL: http://<host>:6080/service/plugins/policies

Creating policy with policy condition:

The following example will create policy with tags as `tags-test` and assign it to `public` group with policy condition astags.attr['type']=='abc' by selecting all hive component permissions like select, update, create, drop, alter, index, lock, all.

Example:

  curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://localhost:6080/service/plugins/policies -u admin:admin -d '{"policyType":"0","name":"P100","isEnabled":true,"isAuditEnabled":true,"description":"","resources":{"tag":{"values":["tags-test"],"isRecursive":"","isExcludes":false}},"policyItems":[{"groups":["public"],"conditions":[{"type":"accessed-after-expiry","values":[]},{"type":"tag-expression","values":["tags.attr['type']=='abc'"]}],"accesses":[{"type":"hive:select","isAllowed":true},{"type":"hive:update","isAllowed":true},{"type":"hive:create","isAllowed":true},{"type":"hive:drop","isAllowed":true},{"type":"hive:alter","isAllowed":true},{"type":"hive:index","isAllowed":true},{"type":"hive:lock","isAllowed":true},{"type":"hive:all","isAllowed":true}]}],"denyPolicyItems":[],"allowExceptions":[],"denyExceptions":[],"service":"tagdev"}'

Update existing policy with policy condition:

The following example will update policy with tags as `tags-test` and assign it to `public` group with policy condition astags.attr['type']=='abc' by selecting all hive component permissions like select, update, create, drop, alter, index, lock, all.

REST URL: http://<host-name>:6080/service/plugins/policies/<policy-id>

Example:

  curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT http://localhost:6080/service/plugins/policies/18 -u admin:admin -d '{"id":18,"guid":"ea78a5ed-07a5-447a-978d-e636b0490a54","isEnabled":true,"createdBy":"Admin","updatedBy":"Admin","createTime":1490802077000,"updateTime":1490802077000,"version":1,"service":"tagdev","name":"P0101","policyType":0,"description":"","resourceSignature":"e5fdb911a25aa7f77af5a9546938d9ed","isAuditEnabled":true,"resources":{"tag":{"values":["tags"],"isExcludes":false,"isRecursive":false}},"policyItems":[{"accesses":[{"type":"hive:select","isAllowed":true},{"type":"hive:update","isAllowed":true},{"type":"hive:create","isAllowed":true},{"type":"hive:drop","isAllowed":true},{"type":"hive:alter","isAllowed":true},{"type":"hive:index","isAllowed":true},{"type":"hive:lock","isAllowed":true},{"type":"hive:all","isAllowed":true}],"users":[],"groups":["public"],"conditions":[{"type":"ip-range","values":["tags.attributes['type']=abc"]}],"delegateAdmin":false}],"denyPolicyItems":[],"allowExceptions":[],"denyExceptions":[],"dataMaskPolicyItems":[],"rowFilterPolicyItems":[]}'

Option #2: Apply JavaScript changes

Steps to update JS file:
1. Find out PermissionList.js file under /usr/hdp/current/ranger-admin
2. Find out definition of renderPolicyCondtion function (line no: 404).
3. Remove following line from that function i.e under display function(line no: 434)
  
  val = _.escape(val);//Line No:460
  
  After removing the above line, the Ranger UI will allow you to create policies with policy condition that can contain special characters and policy evaluation will be successful for the same policy.

HDInsight Integration with ADLS Gen 2: User directories and permissions issue with ESP clusters 1. Home directories for users aren't getting created on Head Node 1. Workaround is to create these manually and changes ownership to the respective user’s UPN. 2. Permissions on /hdp are currently not set to 751. This needs to be set to a. chmod 751 /hdp b. chmod –R 755 /hdp/apps

Deprecation

OMS Portal: We've removed the link from HDInsight resource page that was pointing to OMS portal. Azure Monitor logs initially used its own portal called the OMS portal to manage its configuration and analyze collected data. All functionality from this portal has been moved to the Azure portal where it will continue to be developed. HDInsight has deprecated the support for OMS portal. Customers will use HDInsight Azure Monitor logs integration in Azure portal.
Spark 2.3: Spark Release 2.3.0 deprecations

Upgrading

All of these features are available in HDInsight 3.6. To get the latest version of Spark, Kafka and R Server (Machine Learning Services), choose the Spark, Kafka, ML Services version when you create a HDInsight 3.6 cluster. To get support for ADLS, you can choose the ADLS storage type as an option. Existing clusters won't be upgraded to these versions automatically.

All new clusters created after June 2018 will automatically get across the 1000+ bug fixes across all the open-source projects. Follow this guide for best practices around upgrading to a newer HDInsight version.
