Limitations of restoring Cloudera Data Engineering service

Limitations of restoring Cloudera Data Engineering provide details on non-persistent data, manual environment requirements, and version-specific credential handling.

  • Airflow job logs from the original cluster are unavailable after a Restore operation.
  • Cloudera Data Engineering service does not support the backup and restore of Airflow Python environment resources after an upgrade. You must create and manually activate a new Airflow Python environment resource after restoring the Cloudera Data Engineering service.
  • In Cloudera Data Services on premises 1.5.5 SP2 and lower versions, the Cloudera Data Engineering backup process excludes credentials. As a result, restoring jobs that rely on these credentials fails.

    However, in Cloudera Data Services on premises 1.5.5 SP2 CHF1 and higher versions, the Cloudera Data Engineering backup process includes credentials.
