Known Limitations

Known Limitations

This section consists of known limitations we are aware of, persisting in this release.

Oozie

Issue description: SSL certificate with multiple SAN entries are not supported on 3.3.6.2-1

Oozie service will fail to start if keystore contains such certificates.

Could not start EmbeddedOozieServer! Error message:
KeyStores with multiple certificates are not supported on the base class
org.eclipse.jetty.util.ssl.SslContextFactory.
(Use org.eclipse.jetty.util.ssl.SslContextFactory$Server or
org.eclipse.jetty.util.ssl.SslContextFactory$Client instead)

Workaround

# Step 1: Take backup of the existing jar
cp /usr/odp/3.3.6.2-1/oozie/embedded-oozie-server/oozie-server-5.2.1.3.3.6.2-1.jar \
 /tmp/oozie-server-5.2.1.3.3.6.2-1.jar.bak

# Step 2: Download the patched jar
curl -o /usr/odp/3.3.6.2-1/oozie/embedded-oozie-server/oozie-server-5.2.1.3.3.6.2-1.jar \
https://ad-odp.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/ODP_Patches/3.3.6.2-1/oozie/oozie-server-5.2.1.3.3.6.2-1.jar

# Step 3: Verify ownership and permissions (optional but recommended)
chown oozie:hadoop /usr/odp/3.3.6.2-1/oozie/embedded-oozie-server/oozie-server-5.2.1.3.3.6.2-1.jar
chmod 644 /usr/odp/3.3.6.2-1/oozie/embedded-oozie-server/oozie-server-5.2.1.3.3.6.2-1.jar

Hive

Issue description: Hive Compaction Failure

Hive compaction jobs fail due to a version conflict with the protobuf-java library.

  • This typically occurs during a minor or major compaction operation on ORC-backed Hive tables.
  • This can be resolved by updating MapReduce Classpath.
  • The issue is identified in ODP versions 3.3.6.0-1 and 3.3.6.1-1.
  • The issue will be fixed in ODP version 3.3.6.2-1.

When executing the compaction command, the jobs fail with the following error message in the logs.

ALTER TABLE employee COMPACT 'minor';

16:06:50.650 [main] ERROR org.apache.hadoop.mapred.YarnChild - Error running child : java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'com.google.protobuf.LazyStringList com.google.protobuf.LazyStringList.getUnmodifiableView()'

This indicates a version mismatch in the protobuf-java library used during MapReduce execution, resulting in a NoSuchMethodError.

Root Cause

The Hive client uses a newer version of the protobuf-java library that includes the getUnmodifiableView() method. However, during compaction, the MapReduce job loads an older version of protobuf-java from the cluster's classpath, which lacks this method, leading to a runtime error.

Workaround

To ensure the correct protobuf-java version is used during MapReduce jobs, you need to explicitly update the MapReduce classpath to include the Hive client’s protobuf-java jar before other entries.

The steps to fix via Ambari are as follows:

Pre-requisites: Ensure that the Tez client is installed on all NodeManagers.

  • Log into the Ambari UI.
  • Navigate to MapReduce2 → Configs → Advanced → Advanced mapred-site.
  • Locate the property mapreduce.application.classpath.
  • Prepend the following path to the existing value (do not overwrite the current classpath):
/usr/odp/current/tez-client/lib/protobuf-java-3.21.1.jar:

Also, ensure to confirm if the same version exists on the cluster, if not, use the available version.

The final value must look similar to the following:

/usr/odp/current/tez-client/lib/protobuf-java-3.21.1.jar:$PWD/mr-framework/hadoop/share... (rest of the classpath)
  • Save the changes.
  • Restart the necessary services (typically MapReduce and Hive components) to apply the new configuration.

Verify

Use the following steps to verify the fix.

  • Re-run the following command.
ALTER TABLE employee COMPACT 'minor';
  • Monitor the YARN application logs for successful completion.
  • Confirm that the error is no longer present and the compaction completes as expected.

HBase

Issue description: Hbase master fails to start with Ranger-HBase plugin enabled and no Tez client on HBase master.

When the Ranger-Hbase plugin is enabled, the HBase master fails to start due to a NoClassDefFoundError for org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils.

  • The issue is identified in ODP versions 3.3.6.0-1 and 3.3.6.1-1.
  • The issue will be fixed in ODP version 3.3.6.2-1. 
ERROR [master/hbase:16000:becomeActiveMaster] coprocessor.CoprocessorHost: The coprocessor org.apache.ranger.authorization.hbase.RangerAuthorizationCoprocessor threw 'java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/lang/StringUtils

Workaround:

Depending on the cluster setup, we can proceed with either of the following workarounds.

  • If the cluster includes Tez components, ensure the Tez client is installed on the HBase Master host.
  • Execute the following command on the HBase Master host to add the required JAR file, this resolves the HBase Master startup issue.
cp /usr/odp/3.3.6.1-1/hadoop/lib/ranger-hdfs-plugin-impl/commons-lang-2.6.jar /usr/odp/3.3.6.1-1/ranger-hbase-plugin/lib/ranger-hbase-plugin-impl/
