Cloudera Operational Database drops support of the Cloudera Runtime versions Cloudera Runtime 7.2.8 and Cloudera Runtime 7.2.9

Cloudera Operational Database has stopped supporting the Cloudera Runtime versions Cloudera Runtime 7.2.8 and Cloudera Runtime 7.2.9 because they have reached the end of life.

Cloudera Operational Database supports faster rolling restarts on Cloudera Operational Database clusters

The default value of Cloudera Manager > HBase > Configuration > Region Mover Threads is changed to 30. This speeds up the rolling restart functionality for HBase.

For more information see Rolling Restart.

Cloudera Operational Database supports rolling runtime upgrades of a Cloudera Operational Database cluster

Cloudera Operational Database now supports upgrading the Cloudera Runtime version of the database using the rolling restart mode. This ensures continuous service availability during an upgrade operation. A new CLI parameter --rolling-upgrade | --no-rolling-upgrade is added to the upgrade-database command. Following is a sample command:

cdp opdb upgrade-database --environment <environment-name> --database <database-name> --runtime <runtime-version> [--rolling-upgrade | --no-rolling-upgrade]

For more information, see PRolling upgrade in Cloudera Operational Database.

Cloudera Operational Database provides enhancements to the --scale-type CDP CLI option in the create-database command

In CDP CLI, the --scale-type option now supports all three options --scale-type (string) <MICRO, LIGHT, HEAVY> for both the --master-node-type and --gateway-node-type.

• --scale-type LIGHT (--master-node-type LITE, --gateway-node-type LITE)
• --scale-type HEAVY (--master-node-type HEAVY, --gateway-node-type HEAVY)

If the --scale-type option is not defined, by default --scale-type LIGHT is considered for both the --master-node-type and --gateway-node-type. However, you can overwrite the --scale-type for a --gateway-node-type using the --gateway-node-type <value> option.

For more information, see CDP CLI Beta.

Cloudera Operational Database supports enabling a consolidated view of Cloudera Operational Database metrics using Grafana dashboards

In CDP CLI, the create-database command now provides a new option --enable-grafana which allows you to enable the Grafana URL under the GRAFANA DASHBOARD option inside your Cloudera Operational Database database. When you click on the Grafana URL, it takes you to the Grafana dashboard which provides a consolidated view of the Cloudera Operational Database metrics.

Following is an example of the create-database command.

cdp opdb create-database --environment <environment_name> --database <database_name> --enable-grafana
