4.7.2 release notes

The following release notes include information for Amazon EMR 4.7.2.

Release date: July 15, 2016

Features
  • Upgraded to Mahout 0.12.2

  • Upgraded to Presto 0.148

  • Upgraded to Spark 1.6.2

  • You can now create an AWSCredentialsProvider for use with EMRFS using a URI as a parameter. For more information, see Create an AWSCredentialsProvider for EMRFS.

  • EMRFS now allows users to configure a custom DynamoDB endpoint for their Consistent View metadata using the fs.s3.consistent.dynamodb.endpoint property in emrfs-site.xml.

  • Added a script in /usr/bin called spark-example, which wraps /usr/lib/spark/spark/bin/run-example so you can run examples directly. For instance, to run the SparkPi example that comes with the Spark distribution, you can run spark-example SparkPi 100 from the command line or using command-runner.jar as a step in the API.

Known issues resolved from previous releases
  • Fixed an issue where Oozie had the spark-assembly.jar was not in the correct location when Spark was also installed, which resulted in failure to launch Spark applications with Oozie.

  • Fixed an issue with Spark Log4j-based logging in YARN containers.

4.7.2 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.
