    • Cluster Discovery Report

      • OS value is not shown for source distribution CDH 6.3. (REPORT-930)

    • Services and Version Compatibility:

      • Some of the latest versions of the components shown may be different from those present in the actual source environment. This is because the ones shown are based on the Distribution Stack's Version and not captured from the actual environment itself.

  • Queue Analysis: Graph zooming and resetting is not working properly in Edge. (UIX-158)

  • Small Files etl_fsimage process fails while trying to insert into the Hive Table. Workaround: use Spark to process the FSImage.

  • Sessions

The exact reason for this bug is yet to be ascertained.

      Workaround

      1. Open and edit spark-env.sh of the client where unravel is running.

      2. Add a line similar to export “HDP_VERSION=2.6.5.0-292". Make sure to put the proper HDP version in the line.
