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 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 primary 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.

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. Big-data application packages in the most recent Amazon EMR release are usually the latest version found in the community. We make community releases available in Amazon EMR as quickly as possible.

Some components in Amazon EMR differ from community versions. These components have a version label in the form CommunityVersion-amzn-EmrVersion. The EmrVersion starts at 0. For example, if open source community component named myapp-component with version 2.2 has been modified three times for inclusion in different Amazon EMR releases, its release version is listed as 2.2-amzn-2.
