6.8.1 release notes

The following release notes include information for Amazon EMR release 6.8.1. Changes are relative to 6.8.0. For information on the release timeline, see the 6.8.1 change log.

Changes, enhancements, and resolved issues

  • Hadoop 3.3.3 introduced a change in YARN (YARN-9608) that keeps nodes where containers ran in a decommissioning state until the application completes. This change ensures that local data such as shuffle data doesn't get lost, and you don' need to re-run the job. This approach might also lead to underutilization of resources on clusters with or without managed scaling enabled.

    With Amazon EMR releases 6.11.0 and higher as well as 6.8.1, 6.9.1, and 6.10.1, the value of yarn.resourcemanager.decommissioning-nodes-watcher.wait-for-applications is set to false in yarn-site.xml to resolve this issue.

    While the fix addresses the issues that were introduced by YARN-9608, it might cause Hive jobs to fail due to shuffle data loss on clusters that have managed scaling enabled. We've mitigated that risk in this release by also setting yarn.resourcemanager.decommissioning-nodes-watcher.wait-for-shuffle-data for Hive workloads. This config is only available with Amazon EMR releases 6.11.0 and higher.

  • Metrics collector won't send any metrics to the control plane after failover of primary node in clusters with the instance groups configuration.

  • This release eliminates retries on failed HTTP requests to metrics collector endpoints.

  • This release includes a change that allows high-availability clusters to recover from failed state after restart.

  • This release fixes an issue where large user-created UIDs caused overflow exceptions.

  • This release fixes timeout issues with the Amazon EMR reconfiguration process.

  • This release prevents an issue where failed reconfiguration might break other, unrelated processes.

  • This release includes security fixes.

  • This release fixes an issue where clusters that are running workloads on Spark with Amazon EMR might silently receive incorrect results with contains, startsWith, endsWith, and like. This issue occurs when you use the expressions on partitioned fields that have metadata in the Amazon EMR Hive3 Metastore Server (HMS).

  • With Amazon EMR 6.6.0 through 6.9.x, INSERT queries with dynamic partition and an ORDER BY or SORT BY clause will always have two reducers. This issue is caused by OSS change HIVE-20703, which puts dynamic sort partition optimization under cost-based decision. If your workload doesn't require sorting of dynamic partitions, we recommend that you set the hive.optimize.sort.dynamic.partition.threshold property to -1 to disable the new feature and get the correctly calculated number of reducers. This issue is fixed in OSS Hive as part of HIVE-22269 and is fixed in Amazon EMR 6.10.0.

  • Hive might experience data loss when you use HDFS as a scratch directory and you have enabled merge small files, and the table contains static partition paths.

  • This release fixes a performance issue with Hive if merge small files (disabled by default) is enabled at the end of ETL job.

  • This release fixes an issue with throttling on the Glue side when there are no user-defined functions (UDF).

  • This release fixes an issue that deletes container logs by the node log aggregation service before log pusher can push them to S3 in case of YARN decommissioning.

  • This release fixes handling of compacted/archived files with persistent storefile tracking for HBase.

  • This release fixes an issue that impacted Spark performance when you set a default true value for the spark.yarn.heterogeneousExecutors.enabled config in spark-defaults.conf.

  • This release fixes an issue with Reduce Task failing to read shuffle data. The issue caused Hive query failures with a corrupted memory error.

  • This release fixes an issue that caused the node provisioner to fail if the HDFS NameNode (NN) service was stuck in safemode during node replacement.

  • This release adds a new retry mechanism to the cluster scaling workflow for EMR clusters that run Presto or Trino. This improvement reduces the risk that cluster resizing will indefinitely stall due to a single failed resize operation. It also improves cluster utilization, because your cluster scales up and down faster.

  • This release improves cluster scale-down logic so that your cluster doesn't attempt a scale-down of core nodes below the HDFS replication factor setting for the cluster. This aligns with your data redundancy requirements, and reduces the chance that a scaling operation might stall.

  • The log management daemon has been upgraded to identify all logs that are in active use with open file handles on the local instance storage, and the associated processes. This upgrade ensures that Amazon EMR properly deletes the files and reclaims storage space after the logs are archived to Amazon S3.

  • This release includes a log-management daemon enhancement that deletes empty, unused steps directories in the local cluster file system. An excessively large number of empty directories can degrade the performance of Amazon EMR daemons and result in disk over-utilization.

  • This release fixes an issue that might occur when you create an edge node by replicating one of the primary nodes from a cluster with multiple primary nodes. The replicated edge node could cause delays with scale-down operations, or result in high memory-utilization on the primary nodes. For more information on how to create an edge node to communicate with your EMR cluster, see Edge Node Creator in the aws-samples repo on GitHub.

  • This release improves the automation process that Amazon EMR uses to re-mount Amazon EBS volumes to an instance after a reboot.

  • This release fixes an issue that resulted in intermittent gaps in the Hadoop metrics that Amazon EMR publishes to Amazon CloudWatch.

  • This release fixes an issue with EMR clusters where an update to the YARN configuration file that contains the exclusion list of nodes for the cluster is interrupted due to disk over-utilization. The incomplete update hinders future cluster scale-down operations. This release ensures that your cluster remains healthy, and that scaling operations work as expected.

  • This release improves the on-cluster log management daemon to monitor additional log folders in your EMR cluster. This improvement minimizes disk over-utilization scenarios.

  • This release automatically restarts the on-cluster log management daemon when it stops. This improvement reduces the risk for nodes to appear unhealthy due to disk over-utilization.

  • This release adds support for archiving logs to Amazon S3 during cluster scale-down. Previously, you could only archive log files to Amazon S3 during cluster termination. The new capability ensures that log files generated on the cluster persist on Amazon S3 even after the node is terminated. For more information, see Configure cluster logging and debugging.

  • This release fixes an issue that occurred when the Amazon S3 URI for a bootstrap action ended with a port number, for example: a.b.c.d:4345. Amazon EMR was incorrectly parsing these URIs, so any associated bootstrap actions would fail.

  • This releases fixes a timing sequence mismatch issue between Apache BigTop and the Amazon EMR on EC2 cluster startup sequence. This timing sequence mismatch occurs when a system attempts to perform two or more operations at the same time instead of doing them in the proper sequence. As a result, certain cluster configurations experienced instance startup timeouts and slower cluster startup times.

  • When you launch a cluster with the latest patch release of Amazon EMR 5.36 or higher, 6.6 or higher, or 7.0 or higher, Amazon EMR uses the latest Amazon Linux 2023 or Amazon Linux 2 release for the default Amazon EMR AMI. For more information, see Using the default Amazon Linux AMI for Amazon EMR.

6.8.1 configuration classifications

Configuration classifications allow you to customize applications. These often correspond to a configuration XML file for the application, such as hive-site.xml. For more information, see Configure applications.

Reconfiguration actions occur when you specify a configuration for instance groups in a running cluster. Amazon EMR only initiates reconfiguration actions for the classifications that you modify. For more information, see Reconfigure an instance group in a running cluster.
