5.26.0 release notes

The following release notes include information for Amazon EMR release 5.26.0. Changes are relative to 5.25.0.

Initial release date: Aug 8, 2019

Last updated date: Aug 19, 2019

Upgrades

  • Amazon SDK for Java 1.11.595

  • HBase 1.4.10

  • Phoenix 4.14.2

  • Connectors and drivers:

    • DynamoDB Connector 4.11.0

    • MariaDB Connector 2.4.2

    • Amazon Redshift JDBC Driver 1.2.32.1056

New features

  • (Beta) With Amazon EMR 5.26.0, you can launch a cluster that integrates with Lake Formation. This integration provides fine-grained, column-level access to databases and tables in the Amazon Glue Data Catalog. It also enables federated single sign-on to EMR Notebooks or Apache Zeppelin from an enterprise identity system. For more information, see Integrating Amazon EMR with Amazon Lake Formation (Beta).

  • (Aug 19, 2019) Amazon EMR block public access is now available with all Amazon EMR releases that support security groups. Block public access is an account-wide setting applied to each Amazon Region. Block public access prevents a cluster from launching when any security group associated with the cluster has a rule that allows inbound traffic from IPv4 0.0.0.0/0 or IPv6 ::/0 (public access) on a port, unless a port is specified as an exception. Port 22 is an exception by default. For more information, see Using Amazon EMR Block Public Access in the Amazon EMR Management Guide.

Changes, enhancements, and resolved issues

  • EMR Notebooks

    • With EMR 5.26.0 and later, EMR Notebooks supports notebook-scoped Python libraries in addition to the default Python libraries. You can install notebook-scoped libraries from within the notebook editor without having to re-create a cluster or re-attach a notebook to a cluster. Notebook-scoped libraries are created in a Python virtual environment, so they apply only to the current notebook session. This allows you to isolate notebook dependencies. For more information, see Using Notebook Scoped Libraries in the Amazon EMR Management Guide.

  • EMRFS

    • You can enable an ETag verification feature (Beta) by setting fs.s3.consistent.metadata.etag.verification.enabled to true. With this feature, EMRFS uses Amazon S3 ETags to verify that objects being read are the latest available version. This feature is helpful for read-after-update use cases in which files on Amazon S3 are overwritten while retaining the same name. This ETag verification capability currently does not work with S3 Select. For more information, see Configure Consistent View.

  • Spark

    • The following optimizations are now enabled by default: dynamic partition pruning, DISTINCT before INTERSECT, improvements in SQL plan statistics inference for JOIN followed by DISTINCT queries, flattening scalar subqueries, optimized join reorder, and bloom filter join. For more information, see Optimizing Spark Performance.

    • Improved whole stage code generation for Sort Merge Join.

    • Improved query fragment and subquery reuse.

    • Improvements to pre-allocate executors on Spark start up.

    • Bloom filter joins are no longer applied when the smaller side of the join includes a broadcast hint.

  • Tez

    • Resolved an issue with Tez. Tez UI now works on an Amazon EMR cluster with multiple primary nodes.

Known issues

  • The improved whole stage code generation capabilities for Sort Merge Join can increase memory pressure when enabled. This optimization improves performance, but may result in job retries or failures if the spark.yarn.executor.memoryOverheadFactor is not tuned to provide enough memory. To disable this feature, set spark.sql.sortMergeJoinExec.extendedCodegen.enabled to false.

  • Known issue in clusters with multiple primary nodes and Kerberos authentication

    If you run clusters with multiple primary nodes and Kerberos authentication in Amazon EMR releases 5.20.0 and later, you may encounter problems with cluster operations such as scale down or step submission, after the cluster has been running for some time. The time period depends on the Kerberos ticket validity period that you defined. The scale-down problem impacts both automatic scale-down and explicit scale down requests that you submitted. Additional cluster operations can also be impacted.

    Workaround:

    • SSH as hadoop user to the lead primary node of the EMR cluster with multiple primary nodes.

    • Run the following command to renew Kerberos ticket for hadoop user. 

      kinit -kt <keytab_file> <principal>

      Typically, the keytab file is located at /etc/hadoop.keytab and the principal is in the form of hadoop/<hostname>@<REALM>.

    Note

    This workaround will be effective for the time period the Kerberos ticket is valid. This duration is 10 hours by default, but can configured by your Kerberos settings. You must re-run the above command once the Kerberos ticket expires.

5.26.0 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.
