2023.1 Series Release Notes

17.0.0

Upgrade Notes

  • Python 3.6 & 3.7 support has been dropped. The minimum version of Python now supported is Python 3.8.

16.0.0.0rc1

New Features

  • Now healthcheck middleware is enabled by default. Applications like loadbalancer or monitoring tools can use /healthcheck path to monitor health of each API endpoints. Remove entries for healthcheck from api-paste.ini to disable this functionality.

15.0.0

Upgrade Notes

  • The default value of [oslo_policy] policy_file config option has been changed from policy.json to policy.yaml. Operators who are utilizing customized or previously generated static policy JSON files (which are not needed by default), should generate new policy files or convert them in YAML format. Use the oslopolicy-convert-json-to-yaml tool to convert a JSON to YAML formatted policy file in backward compatible way.

Deprecation Notes

  • Use of JSON policy files was deprecated by the oslo.policy library during the Victoria development cycle. As a result, this deprecation is being noted in the Xena cycle with an anticipated future removal of support by oslo.policy. As such operators will need to convert to YAML policy files. Please see the upgrade notes for details on migration of any custom policy files.

12.0.0.0rc1

Upgrade Notes

  • Python 2.7 support has been dropped. Last release of sahara to support python 2.7 is OpenStack Train. The minimum version of Python now supported by sahara is Python 3.6.

10.0.0

Prelude

Added new tool sahara-status upgrade check.

  • Sahara’s APIv2 is now considered stable, and no longer experimental.

New Features

  • New framework for sahara-status upgrade check command is added. This framework allows adding various checks which can be run before a Sahara upgrade to ensure if the upgrade can be performed safely.

  • Adding the ability to change default timeout parameter for ambari agent package installation

  • Users of Sahara’s APIv2 may request a microversion of that API, with “OpenStack-API-Version: data-processing [version]” in the request headers.

  • In Sahara APIv2, the type, availability zone, and locality of boot volumes may be expressed explicitly through the boot_volume_type, boot_volume_availability_zone, and boot_volume_local_to_instance parameters.

  • In an effort to improve Sahara’s usuability and manutenability we are splitting the plugins from Sahara core into their own repositories.

Upgrade Notes

  • Operator can now use new CLI tool sahara-status upgrade check to check if Sahara deployment can be safely upgraded from N-1 to N release.

  • The default proxy role for Swift is now member instead of Member. Keystone now creates the former by default, even if the latter is recognized to be the same (case preserving).

Bug Fixes

  • With APIv2 we detected some inconsistencies on the policies. This patch updates the policy to fix those incosistencies.

  • The command hdfs fs has been deprecated in favor of hdfs fs. This fixes will allow the use of Hbase service.

  • This fixes the issue with NTP configuration where a prefered server provided by the user is added to the end of the file and the defaults are not deleted. Here we add the prefered server to the top of the file.

Other Notes

  • As part of the APIv2 work we changed all tenant_id references to project_id on the return payload of REST calls.

  • All APIv2 policy names have been changed to the recommended format: specifically, changes to resource names (now _singular_, whereas previously they may have been _plural_, or otherwise inconsistent), action verbs (now fully independent of HTTP semantics) and overall formatting (hyphens replace underscores). Eventually, the remaining non-conforming policy names will be deprecated too.

  • Some polishings to APIv2 have been made in an effort to bring it from experimental (and therefore, evolving and unpredictable) to stable. More instances of tenant_id have been changed to project_id, in the cluster and job template APIs. job_id was changed to job_template_id in the job API. The newly-minted query string validation feature has been fixed to allow show_progress as a parameter on cluster GET; on a similar note some APIv2 endpoints which previously could be filtered by hadoop_version are now filtered by plugin_version instead. Also, the schema for cluster PATCH in APIv1.1 now no longer includes the key update_keypair; its prior inclusion was a mistake.

  • In APIv2 there is now strict checking of parameters in the query string. This means that unexpected values in the query string will give a 400 error (as opposed to previously being ignored, or causing a 500 error).

9.0.0.0rc1

Other Notes

  • The URL of an S3 data source may have s3:// or s3a://, equivalently.

9.0.0.0b3

Prelude

  • Sahara APIv2 is reaching a point of maturity. Therefore, new deployments should include an unversioned endpoint in the service catalog for the “data-processing” service, for the purposes of more intuitive version discovery. Eventually existing deployments should switch to an unversioned endpoint, too, but only after time is given for the use of older clients to be less likely.

Every new release of Sahara we update our plugins list. Some new versions are added and some removed and other marked as deprecated. For Rocky we are deprecating CDH 5.7.0, Spark 1.6.0 and 2.1 as well as Storm 1.0.1. We are also removing CDH 5.5.0, MapR 5.1.0, Spark 1.3.1 and Storm 0.9.2.

New Features

  • Adding the ability to create Ambari 2.6 images on sahara-image-pack

  • Adding the ability to boot a Sahara cluster from volumes instead of images.

  • Adding support to CDH 5.13.0 in CDH plugin.

  • The experimental APIv2 supports simultaneous creation of multiple clusters only through POST /v2/clusters (using the count parameter). The POST /v2/clusters/multiple endpoint has been removed.

  • Operators can now update the running configuration of Sahara processes by sending the parent process a “HUP” signal. Note: The configuration option must support mutation.

  • The behavior of force deletion of clusters (APIv2) has changed. Stack-abandon is no longer used. The response from the force-delete API call now includes the name of the stack which had underlain that deleted cluster.

  • Use a new keypair to access to the running cluster when the cluster’s keypair is deleted.

  • An EDP data source may reference a file stored in a S3-like object store.

Upgrade Notes

  • Adding Spark 2.3 to supported plugins list.

  • Adding new versions of Storm, 1.2.0 and 1.2.1. Both will exist under the same tag 1.2.

  • We are removing some plugins versions. Those are CDH 5.5.0, MapR 5.1.0, Spark 1.3.1 and Storm 0.9.2.

Deprecation Notes

  • The sahara-all entry point is now deprecated. Please use the sahara-api and sahara-engine entry points instead.

  • We are deprecating CDH 5.7.0, Spark 1.6.0 and 2.1 and Storm 1.0.1.

Bug Fixes

  • Hadoop is now better configured to use the proper Keystone domain for interaction with Swift; previously the ‘default’ domain may have been incorrectly used.

Other Notes

  • A few responses in the experimental (but nearly-stable) APIv2 have been tweaked. To be specific, the key hadoop_version has been replaced with plugin_version, the key job has been replaced with job_template, the key job_execution has been replaced with job, and the key oozie_job_id has been replaced with engine_job_id. In fact, these changes were all previously partially implemented, and are now completely implemented.

9.0.0.0b2

New Features

  • Support deploy hadoop 2.7.5 with vanilla plugin.

9.0.0.0b1

New Features

  • Implemented support of HDP 2.6 in the Ambari plugin.

Known Issues

  • Remove the step “upload httpclient to oozie/sharelib” in sahara code. User should use latest vanilla-2.8.2 image which is built on SIE “Change-ID: I3a25ee8c282849911089adf6c3593b1bb50fd067”.

8.0.0

New Features

  • Enables the creation and validation of Ambari 2.4 images using the new image generation process where libguestfs replaces the use of DIB.

  • Sahara’s APIv2 is now exposed by default (although its state is still experimental). It has feature parity with Sahara’s APIv1.1, but APIv2 brings better REST semantics, tweaks to some response payloads, and some other improvements. APIv2 will remain labeled experimental until it is stabilized following the addition of new features to it in the coming cycle(s).

  • Enables the creation and validation of CDH 5.11.0 images using the new image generation process where libguestfs replaces the use of DIB.

  • Enables the creation and validation of CDH 5.9.0 images using the new image generation process where libguestfs replaces the use of DIB.

  • The ability to force delete clusters is exposed in Sahara APIv2. The Heat service must support Stack Abandon for force delete to function properly.

  • Adding ability to create and validate MapR 5.2.0 images using the new image gen tool.

  • This feature allows the policy enforcement to be done in code thus facilitating better maintenance of the policy file. In code the default policies are set and the operator only needs to change the policy file if they wish to override the rule or role for a specific policy or operation. Also, a complete policy file can be generated using genconfig tool.

  • Adding Spark version 2.2 to Sahara.

  • An EDP job binary may reference a file stored in a S3-like object store.

  • Support deploy hadoop 2.8.2 with vanilla plugin.

Upgrade Notes

  • Nova network has been fully removed from the OpenStack codebase, remove all instances of switches on use_neutron and the configuration value.

  • Sample configuration files previously installed in share/sahara will now be installed into etc/sahara instead.

Deprecation Notes

  • The use of [keystone_authtoken] credentials for trust creation is now deprecated. Please use the new [trustee] config section. The options username, password, project_name, user_domain_name, project_domain_name, and auth_url (with version) are obligatory within that section.

Other Notes

  • The presence of project ID in Sahara APIv1 paths is now optional.

7.0.0.0rc1

Deprecation Notes

  • Spark version 1.3.1 is deprecated.

  • The custom admin_user_domain_name and admin_project_domain_name configuration options have been removed; they are provided by keystone_authtoken as user_domain_name and project_domain_name respectively.

Other Notes
