6.9.0 release notes

The following release notes include information for Amazon EMR release 6.9.0. Changes are relative to Amazon EMR release 6.8.0. For information on the release timeline, see the change log.

New Features

  • Amazon EMR release 6.9.0 supports Apache Spark RAPIDS 22.08.0, Apache Hudi 0.12.1, Apache Iceberg 0.14.1, Trino 398, and Tez 0.10.2.

  • Amazon EMR release 6.9.0 includes a new open-source application, Delta Lake 2.1.0.

  • The Amazon Redshift integration for Apache Spark is included in Amazon EMR releases 6.9.0 and later. Previously an open-source tool, the native integration is a Spark connector that you can use to build Apache Spark applications that read from and write to data in Amazon Redshift and Amazon Redshift Serverless. For more information, see Using Amazon Redshift integration for Apache Spark with Amazon EMR .

  • Amazon EMR release 6.9.0 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.

  • To support long running queries, Trino now includes a fault-tolerant execution mechanism. Fault-tolerant execution mitigates query failures by retrying failed queries or their component tasks. For more information, see Fault-tolerant execution in Trino.

  • You can use Apache Flink on Amazon EMR for unified BATCH and STREAM processing of Apache Hive Tables or metadata of any Flink tablesource such as Iceberg, Kinesis or Kafka. You can specify the AWS Glue Data Catalog as the metastore for Flink using the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or Amazon EMR API. For more information, see Configuring Flink in Amazon EMR.

  • You can now specify AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) runtime roles and AWS Lake Formation-based access control for Apache Spark, Apache Hive, and Presto queries on Amazon EMR on EC2 clusters with Amazon SageMaker Studio. For more information, see Configure runtime roles for Amazon EMR steps.

Known Issues

  • For Amazon EMR release 6.9.0, Trino does not work on clusters enabled for Apache Ranger. If you need to use Trino with Ranger, contact AWS Support.

  • If you use the the Amazon Redshift integration for Apache Spark and have a time, timetz, timestamp, or timestamptz with microsecond precision in Parquet format, the connector rounds the time values to the nearest millisecond value. As a workaround, use the text unload format unload_s3_format parameter.

  • When you use Spark with Hive partition location formatting to read data in Amazon S3, and you run Spark on Amazon EMR releases 5.30.0 to 5.36.0, and 6.2.0 to 6.9.0, you might encounter an issue that prevents your cluster from reading data correctly. This can happen if your partitions have all of the following characteristics:

    • Two or more partitions are scanned from the same table.

    • At least one partition directory path is a prefix of at least one other partition directory path, for example, s3://bucket/table/p=a is a prefix of s3://bucket/table/p=a b.

    • The first character that follows the prefix in the other partition directory has a UTF-8 value that’s less than than the / character (U+002F). For example, the space character (U+0020) that occurs between a and b in s3://bucket/table/p=a b falls into this category. Note that there are 14 other non-control characters: !"#$%&‘()*+,-. For more information, see UTF-8 encoding table and Unicode characters.

    As a workaround to this issue, set the spark.sql.sources.fastS3PartitionDiscovery.enabled configuration to false in the spark-defaults classification.

  • Connections to Amazon EMR clusters from Amazon SageMaker Studio may intermittently fail with a 403 Forbidden response code. This error happens when setup of the IAM role on the cluster takes longer than 60 seconds. As a workaround, you can install an Amazon EMR patch to enable retries and increase the timeout to a minimum of 300 seconds. Use the following steps to apply the bootstrap action when you launch your cluster.

    1. Download the bootstrap script and RPM files from the following Amazon S3 URIs.

      s3://emr-data-access-control-us-east-1/customer-bootstrap-actions/gcsc/replace-rpms.sh
s3://emr-data-access-control-us-east-1/customer-bootstrap-actions/gcsc/emr-secret-agent-1.18.0-SNAPSHOT20221121212949.noarch.rpm

    2. Upload the files from the previous step to an Amazon S3 bucket that you own. The bucket must be in the same AWS Region where you plan to launch the cluster.

    3. Include the following bootstrap action when you launch your EMR cluster. Replace bootstrap_URI and RPM_URI with the corresponding URIs from Amazon S3. 

      --bootstrap-actions "Path=bootstrap_URI,Args=[RPM_URI]"

  • With Amazon EMR releases 5.36.0 and 6.6.0 through 6.9.0, SecretAgent and RecordServer service components may experience log data loss due to an incorrect file name pattern configuration in Log4j2 properties. The incorrect configuration causes the components to generate only one log file per day. When the rotation strategy occurs, it overwrites the existing file instead of generating a new log file as expected. As a workaround, use a bootstrap action to generate log files each hour and append an auto-increment integer in the file name to handle the rotation.

    For Amazon EMR 6.6.0 through 6.9.0 releases, use the following bootstrap action when you launch a cluster. 

    ‑‑bootstrap‑actions "Path=s3://emr-data-access-control-us-east-1/customer-bootstrap-actions/log-rotation-emr-6x/replace-puppet.sh,Args=[]"

    For Amazon EMR 5.36.0, use the following bootstrap action when you launch a cluster.

    ‑‑bootstrap‑actions "Path=s3://emr-data-access-control-us-east-1/customer-bootstrap-actions/log-rotation-emr-5x/replace-puppet.sh,Args=[]"

  • Apache Flink provides Native S3 FileSystem and Hadoop FileSystem Connectors, which let applications create a FileSink and write the data into Amazon S3. This FileSink fails with one of the following two exceptions.

    java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Recoverable writers on Hadoop are only supported for HDFS
    Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.hadoop.io.retry.RetryPolicies.retryOtherThanRemoteAndSaslException(Lorg/apache/hadoop/io/retry/RetryPolicy;Ljava/util/Map;)Lorg/apache/hadoop/io/retry/RetryPolicy;
                                        at org.apache.hadoop.yarn.client.RMProxy.createRetryPolicy(RMProxy.java:302) ~[hadoop-yarn-common-3.3.3-amzn-0.jar:?]

    As a workaround, you can install an Amazon EMR patch, which fixes the above issue in Flink. To apply the bootstrap action when you launch your cluster, complete the following steps.

    1. Download the flink-rpm to your Amazon S3 bucket. Your RPM path is s3://DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET/rpms/flink/.

    2. Download the bootstrap script and RPM files from Amazon S3 using the following URI. Replace regionName with the AWS Region where you plan to launch the cluster.

      s3://emr-data-access-control-regionName/customer-bootstrap-actions/gcsc/replace-rpms.sh

    3. 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. In Amazon EMR 6.8.0 and 6.9.0, this approach might also lead to underutilization of resources on clusters with or without managed scaling enabled.

      With Amazon EMR 6.10.0, there's a workaround for this issue to set the value of yarn.resourcemanager.decommissioning-nodes-watcher.wait-for-applications to false in yarn-site.xml. In Amazon EMR releases 6.11.0 and higher as well as 6.8.1, 6.9.1, and 6.10.1, the config is set to false by default to resolve this issue.

Changes, Enhancements, and Resolved Issues

  • For Amazon EMR release 6.9.0 and later, all components installed by Amazon EMR that use Log4j libraries use Log4j version 2.17.1 or later.

  • When you use the DynamoDB connector with Spark on Amazon EMR versions 6.6.0, 6.7.0, and 6.8.0, all reads from your table return an empty result, even though the input split references non-empty data. Amazon EMR release 6.9.0 fixes this issue.

  • Amazon EMR 6.9.0 adds limited support for Lake Formation-based access control with Apache Hudi when reading data using Spark SQL. The support is for SELECT queries using Spark SQL and is limited to column-level access control. For more information, see Hudi and Lake Formation.

  • When you use Amazon EMR 6.9.0 to create a Hadoop cluster with Node Labels enabled, the YARN metrics API returns aggregated information across all partitions, instead of the default partition. For more information, see YARN-11414.

  • With Amazon EMR release 6.9.0, we've updated Trino to version 398, which uses Java 17. The previous supported version of Trino for Amazon EMR 6.8.0 was Trino 388 running on Java 11. For more information about this change, see Trino updates to Java 17 on the Trino blog.

  • 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.

    Note

    This release no longer gets automatic AMI updates since it has been succeeded by 1 more more patch releases. The patch release is denoted by the number after the second decimal point (6.8.1). To see if you're using the latest patch release, check the available releases in the Release Guide, or check the Amazon EMR release dropdown when you create a cluster in the console, or use the ListReleaseLabels API or list-release-labels CLI action.

6.9.0 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.

6.9.0 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.
