Important Announcements

  • The Dataproc v1beta2 APIs are deprecated. Use the Dataproc v1 APIs.
  • CentOS 8 has reached its end of life, and packages can no longer be installed from the CentOS 8 mirrors (see the CentOS website the for more information).. This CentOS deprecation affects Dataproc image versions 2.0-centos8 and 1.5-centos8. Note: Attempts to install packages using yum, for example, during cluster creation, will fail. As a short-term mitigation, you can change the yum repository from http://mirror.centos.org to http://vault.centos.org.

When you submit a Dataproc Serverless Batch with a CMEK key:

  • In addition to encrypting disk and Cloud Storage data, Dataproc Serverless will use your CMEK to also encrypt batch job arguments. This change will require you to do the following:
  • batches.list will return an unreachable field that lists any batches with job arguments that couldn't be decrypted. You can issue a batches.get request to obtain more information on an unreachable batch.
  • Multi-regional and cross-regional CMEKs will no longer be permitted. The key (CMEK) must be located in the same location as the encrypted resource. For example, the CMEK used to encrypt a batch that runs in the us-central1 region must also be located in the us-central1 region.

Beginning March 31, 2024, when you submit a Dataproc Serverless Batch with a CMEK key:

  • In addition to encrypting disk and Cloud Storage data, Dataproc Serverless will use your CMEK to also encrypt batch job arguments. This change will require that you assign the Cloud KMS CryptoKey Encrypter/Decrypter and the Service Usage Consumer role to the Dataproc Service Agent service account.
  • batches.list will return an unreachable field that lists any batches with job arguments that couldn't be decrypted. You can issue a batches.get request to obtain more information on an unreachable batch.
  • Multi-regional and cross-regional CMEKs will no longer be permitted. The key (CMEK) must be located in the same location as the encrypted resource. For example, the CMEK used to encrypt a batch that runs in the us-central1 region must also be located in the us-central1 region.

October 21, 2022

New sub-minor versions of Dataproc images:

1.5.75-debian10, 1.5.75-rocky8, 1.5.75-ubuntu18

2.0.49-debian10, 2.0.49-rocky8, 2.0.49-ubuntu18

Announcing the General Availability (GA) release of Dataproc Serverless for Spark runtime 2.0.

Dataproc Serverless for Spark now uses runtime version 1.0.20 and 2.0.0.

Upgraded Cloud Storage connector version to 2.2.8 in the latest 2.0 images.

Upgraded the Conscrypt library to 2.5.2 in the latest 1.5 and 2.0 images.

Dataproc Serverless for Spark runtime version 2.0.0 upgrades the following components:

  • Conda to 22.9
  • Jetty to 9.4.49.v20220914
  • ORC to 1.8.0
  • Protobuf to 3.21.7
  • RoaringBitmap to 0.9.32

Disabled auto deletion of files under /tmp in the latest Rocky images. Previous Rocky images have files in the /tmp folder deleted every 10 days due to default OS system setting in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/tmp.conf.

Changed Hive TokenStoreDelegationTokenSecretManager in the latest 1.5 and 2.0 images so that it updates the base class's current key ID after generating a new master key. This is important for users of DBTokenStore, which generates key IDs based on a monotonically increasing sequence from the database. Prior to this fix, there was a race condition during master key rollover that could cause it to attempt updating the prior master key using an incorrect ID value. This would fail and then quickly retry, sometimes multiple times, causing too many rows in the database.

Set yarn:spark.yarn.shuffle.stop_on_failure to true by default in the latest 1.5 and 2.0 images. This change causes YARN node manager startup to fail if the Spark external shuffle service startup fails. On VM boot, Dataproc will continuously restart the YARN node manager until it is able to start. This change reduces Spark executor errors, such as: org.apache.spark.SparkException: Unable to register with external shuffle server due to : Failed to connect to <worker host>:7337, particularly when starting a stopped cluster. See Spark external shuffle service documentation for details.

Backported the patch for HADOOP-18316 in the latest 2.0 images, addressing CVE-2022-25168.

Backported the patch for HIVE-25468 in the latest 1.5 and 2.0 images, addressing CVE-2021-34538.

Addressing CVE-2022-23305, CVE-2022-23302, CVE-2021-4104, CVE-2019-17571, migrated log4j 1.2 to reload4j for Hadoop, Spark in the latest 1.5 images and Hadoop, Spark, ZooKeeper, Oozie, Knox in the latest 2.0 images.

Enabled Spark authentication and encryption for Kerberos enabled clusters created with the latest 1.5 and 2.0 images.

Set HDFS /user/<name> directory permission with owner=<name> and mode=700 for Kerberos enabled clusters created with the latest 1.5 and 2.0 images.

Backported the patch for SPARK-36383 in the latest 2.0 images.

Backported the patch for HIVE-19310 in the latest 1.5 images.

Backported the patch for HIVE-20004 in the latest 2.0 images.

Fixed an issue in which Presto queries might fail when submitted to HA clusters in the latest 1.5 and 2.0 images.

Fixed a bug where metrics created based on the yarn:yarn.resourcemanager.metrics.runtime.buckets property were not exported to Cloud Monitoring, even though listed in --metric-overrides during cluster creation.

Fixed a "gsutil not found" issue in the latest 1.5 and 2.0 Ubuntu images.

Backported the patch for HIVE-26447 in the latest 2.0 images.

Backported the patch for HIVE-20607 in the latest 2.0 images.

  • 1.5.59-debian10, 1.5.59-ubuntu18, 1.5.59-rocky8

If your cluster uses one of these image versions, there is a small chance that the cluster might enter an ERROR_DUE_TO_UPDATE state while being updated, either manually or as a result of autoscaling. If that happens, contact support. You can avoid future occurrences by creating new clusters with a newer image version.

November 01, 2021

Added the following new Apache Spark properties to control Cloud Storage flush behavior for event logs for 1.4 and later images:

  • spark.history.fs.gs.outputstream.type (default: BASIC)
  • spark.history.fs.gs.outputstream.sync.min.interval.ms (default: 5000ms).

Note: The default configuration of these properties enables the display of running jobs in the Spark History Server UI for clusters using Cloud Storage to store spark event logs.

Added support in 1.5 and 2.0 images to filter Spark Applications on the Spark History Server Web UI based on Cloud Storage path. Filtering is accomplished using the eventLogDirFilter parameter, which accepts any Cloud Storage path substring and will return applications that match the Cloud Storage path.

New sub-minor versions of Dataproc images:

1.4.75-debian10, 1.4.75-ubuntu18,

1.5.50-centos8, 1.5.50-debian10, 1.5.50-ubuntu18,

Removed Apache Iceberg and Delta Lake libraries in 2.0 images because they are not compatible with Spark 3.1.

Upgraded Cloud Storage connector to version 2.2.3 on 2.0 Images.

The previous Dataproc on GKE beta documentation has been replaced with a Dataproc on GKE private preview sign up form. Existing beta customers can continue using the beta release, but note that the beta release is planned to be deprecated and removed.

Patched Hive in 2.0 images with HIVE-20187, which fixes a bug where Hive returned incorrect query results when hive.convert.join.bucket.mapjoin.tez is set to true.

Backported SPARK-31946 in 2.0 images.

Backported SPARK-23182 in 1.4 and 1.5 images. This prevents long-running Spark shuffle servers from leaking connections when they are not cleanly terminated.

Fixed stdout and stderr links in the Spark History Server Web UI in 2.0 images.

October 22, 2021

The dataproc:dataproc.cluster-ttl.consider-yarn-activity cluster property is now set to true by default for image versions 1.4.64+, 1.5.39+, and 2.0.13+. With this change, with clusters created with these image versions, Dataproc Cluster Scheduled Deletion by default will consider YARN activity, in addition to Dataproc Jobs API activity, when determining cluster idle time . This change does not affect clusters with images with lower version numbers: cluster idle time for those clusters will continue to be computed based on Dataproc Jobs API activity only. When using image versions 1.4.64+, 1.5.39+, and 2.0.13+, you can opt out of this changed behavior by setting this property to false when you create the cluster.

October 08, 2021

In a future announcement (on approximately October 22, 2021), Dataproc will announce that Cluster Scheduled Deletion by default will consider YARN activity, in addition to Dataproc Jobs API activity, when determining cluster idle time. This change will affect image versions 1.4.64+, 1.5.39+, and 2.0.13+. To test this feature now, create a cluster with a recent image, setting the dataproc:dataproc.cluster-ttl.consider-yarn-activity cluster property to true. Note: After this behavior becomes the default, you can opt out when you create a cluster by setting the property to false.

August 19, 2021

Added support for Dataproc Metastore in three recently turned up regions: .europe-west1, northamerica-northeast1, and asia-southeast1.

Users can now help assure the successful creation of a cluster by automatically deleting any failed primary workers (the master(s) and at least two primary workers must be successfully provisioned for cluster creation to succeed). To delete any failed primary workers when you create a cluster:

  1. Using gcloud: Set the gcloud dataproc clusters create --action-on-failed-primary-workers flag to "DELETE".

  2. Using the Dataproc clusters.create API: Set the actionOnFailedPrimaryWorkers field to "DELETE".

Announcing the General Availability (GA) release of Dataproc 2.0 images. This image will become the default Dataproc image version on February 22, 2021.

2.0 image clusters:

You can no longer pass the dataproc:dataproc.worker.custom.init.actions.mode property when creating a 2.0 image cluster. For 2.0+ image clusters, dataproc:dataproc.worker.custom.init.actions.mode is set to RUN_BEFORE_SERVICES. For more information, see Important considerations and guidelines—Initialization processing.

2.0 image clusters:

In 2.0 clusters, yarn.nm.liveness-monitor.expiry-interval-ms is set to 15000 (15 seconds). If the resource manager does not receive a heartbeat from a NodeManager during this period, it marks the NodeManager as LOST. This setting is important for clusters that use preemptible VMs. Usually, NodeManagers unregister with the resource manager when their VMs shut down, but in rare cases when they are be shut down ungracefully, it is important for the resource manager to notice this quickly.

New sub-minor versions of Dataproc images: 1.3.82-debian10, 1.3.82-ubuntu18, 1.4.53-debian10, 1.4.53-ubuntu18, 1.5.28-centos8, 1.5.28-debian10, 1.5.28-ubuntu18, 2.0.0-debian10, and 2.0.0-ubuntu18.

Dataproc now uses Shielded VMs for Debian 10 and Ubuntu 18.04 clusters by default.

The Proxy-Authorization header is accepted in place of Authorization to authenticate to Component Gateway to the backend for programmatic API calls. If Proxy-Authorization is set to a bearer token, Component Gateway will forward the Authorization header if it does not contain a bearer token.

For example, this allows setting both Proxy-Authorization: Bearer <google-access-token> as well as setting Authorization: Basic ... to authenticate to HiveServer2 with HTTP basic auth.

Added support for Zeppelin Spark and shell interpreters in Kerberized clusters by default.

New sub-minor versions of Dataproc images: 1.3.63-debian10, 1.3.63-ubuntu18, 1.4.34-debian10, 1.4.34-ubuntu18, 1.5.9-debian10, 1.5.9-ubuntu18, 2.0.0-RC5-debian10, and 2.0.0-RC5-ubuntu18.

Druid's Historical's and Broker's JVM and runtime properties are now calculated using server resources. Previously, only the Historical's and MiddleManager's MaxHeapSize property was calculated using server resources. This change modifies how new values for MaxHeapSize and MaxDirectMemorySize properties are calculated for Broker and Historical processes. Also, new runtime properties druid.processing.numThreads and druid.processing.numMergeBuffers are calculated using server resources.

If the project-level staging bucket is manually deleted, it will be recreated when a cluster is created.

Dataproc Job container logging now supports Dataproc Kerberized clusters.

You can now set core:fs.defaultFS to a location in Cloud Storage (for example, gs://bucket) when creating a cluster to set Cloud Storage as the default filesystem. This also sets core:fs.gs.reported.permissions, the reported permission returned by the Cloud Storage connector for all files, to 777. If Cloud Storage is not set as the default filesystem, this property will continue to return 700, the default value.

Image 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5

  • Restrict Jupyter, Zeppelin, and Knox to only accept connections from localhost when Component Gateway is enabled. This restriction reduces the risk of remote code execution over unsecured notebook server APIs. To override this change, when you create the cluster, set the Jupyter, Zeppelin, and Knox cluster properties, respectively, as follows: dataproc:jupyter.listen.all.interfaces=true, zeppelin:zeppelin.server.addr=0.0.0.0, and knox:gateway.host=0.0.0.0.

  • Upgrade Hive to version 2.3.7.

March 03, 2020

Added a dataproc:yarn.log-aggregation.enabled cluster property that allows turning on YARN log aggregation to a Dataproc temporary bucket (default: true for image versions 1.5+). Users can also set the location of aggregated YARN logs by overwriting the yarn.nodemanager.remote-app-log-dir YARN property.

New sub-minor versions of Dataproc images: 1.2.92-debian9, 1.3.52-debian9, 1.4.23-debian9, 1.5.0-RC8-debian10, 1.3.52-ubuntu18, 1.4.23-ubuntu18, 1.5.0-RC8-ubuntu18

1.5 preview image:

Upgraded the Cloud Storage connector to version 2.0.1.

In addition to the staging bucket, Dataproc now creates a temporary bucket for storing feature-related data with a 90-day retention period per project per region. The bucket name will be of the following form: dataproc-temp-<REGION>-<PROJECT_NUMBER>-<RANDOM_STRING>.

Changed the staging bucket naming scheme for new buckets from dataproc-<UUID>-<REGION> to dataproc-staging-<REGION>-<PROJECT_NUMBER>-<RANDOM_STRING>.

1.3, 1.4, and 1.5 preview images:

Fixed a bug where Component Gateway pages added an additional banner on each page load in some browsers.

February 25, 2020

Added support for attaching GPUs to preemptible workers.

Component Gateway now supports VPC Service Controls.

The Compute Engine API call from the Dataproc backend to check the API-specific quota limit is now enforced. The default Compute Engine API quota limit should be sufficient for most projects. If your project is experiencing Compute Engine API throttling, you can request a higher quota. If your project requires QPS that is higher than the upper quota limit, consider splitting your project into smaller projects.

New sub-minor versions of Dataproc images: 1.2.91-debian9, 1.3.51-debian9, 1.4.22-debian9, 1.5.0-RC7-debian10, 1.3.51-ubuntu18, 1.4.22-ubuntu18, 1.5.0-RC7-ubuntu18

  • Upgraded Presto SQL to 326 version
  • Upgraded Apache Oozie to 5.2.0 version
  • Added Apache Atlas 1.2.0
  • Set spark.ui.port property to 0 to run Spark UI on random port - removes limit on max number of concurrent Spark jobs (16 by default). Previous behavior can be restored by setting spark.ui.port=4040 property
  • Set yarn.nodemanager.address property to 0.0.0.0:8026 to run YARN Node Manager on the same port - if a Node Manager process restarts (e.g. when a VM is preempted), it shows up as the same node in YARN. Otherwise, you would see both a LOST node for the old port, as well as a new RUNNING node with the new port
  • Set hive.fetch.task.conversion property to none to disable execution of the SELECT * WHERE conditions LIMIT x queries in the job driver
  • Set mapreduce.jobhistory.always-scan-user-dir property to true to enable better support of history files stored on Cloud Storage.
  • Set mapreduce.jobhistory.recovery.store.class property to org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.v2.hs.HistoryServerLeveldbStateStoreService to reduce HDFS usage
  • Configured default Spark fair scheduling pool in the /etc/spark/conf/fairscheduler.xml configuration file
  • Added R kernel to Jupyter Optional Component

Breaking Change: Modified gcloud beta clusters create command, replacing --reservation-label with --reservation, which accepts the name of the reservation when --reservation-affinity is specific, matching gcloud compute instances create.

Breaking Change: gcloud command-line tool dataproc commands now require the --region flag on each invocation or dataproc/region config property to be set. Set your default Dataproc region via the gcloud config set dataproc/region us-central1 command.

Breaking Change: Reduced default spark.executor.memory by 1MB from 9310 to 9309 on n1-highmem-4 workers to improve YARN bin packing.

New sub-minor versions of Dataproc images: 1.2.88-debian9, 1.3.48-debian9, 1.4.19-debian9, 1.5.0-RC4-debian10, 1.3.48-ubuntu18, 1.4.19-ubuntu18, 1.5.0-RC4-ubuntu18.

Component Gateway UIs now include a banner showing the project and cluster name being accessed and a button to sign out of Component Gateway for the cluster.

December 20, 2019

Fixed a bug in UpdateCluster quota validation logic impacting the use of zonal reservations where the resource requirements of new instances being added in an update failed to consider the capacity of unused zonal reservations, and thus would incorrectly return an "insufficient quota" error if the new instances could not fit in the unused quota outside of zonal reservations.

Added additional information into Autoscaler recommendations in Stackdriver logging. In particular each recommendation now includes 1) the minimum and maximum worker counts configured in the autoscaling policy, 2) the graceful decommission timeout (for SCALE_DOWN operations), and 3) additional context into why the autoscaler couldn't add or remove more nodes. For example, it will indicate if it could not scale up further due to available regional or global quotas in the project (SCALING_CAPPED_DUE_TO_LACK_OF_QUOTA).

New sub-minor versions of Cloud Dataproc images:: 1.2.87-debian9, 1.3.47-debian9, 1.4.18-debian9, 1.5.0-RC3-debian10, 1.3.47-ubuntu18, 1.4.18-ubuntu18, 1.5.0-RC3-ubuntu18

1.3 image update - Upgraded Hive to version 2.3.6

1.4 image update - Fixed a bug in the Jupyter component that prevented creating text files using the Jupyter and JupyterLab UIs

1.5 preview image update:

November 26, 2019

1.3 and 1.4 images:

  • Cloud Dataproc images in the 1.3 and 1.4 minor version tracks are affected by an issue that causes the YARN Timeline Server to excessively log without proper rotation. This can specifically impact longer running Clusters and Clusters with high traffic of YARN applications (Dataproc Jobs).

  • There is a script that can be run as an initialization action or on live Master Nodes to mitigate this issue on new and running Clusters.

November 15, 2019

  • Allow creation of Dataproc master and worker VMs with Intel Optane DC Persistent memory using dataproc:dataproc.alpha.master.nvdimm.size.gb and dataproc:dataproc.alpha.master.nvdimm.size.gb properties. Note: Optane VMs can only be created in zones with only n1-highmem-96-aep machine type (such as us-central1-f).

  • Support updating Cloud Storage connector version by setting the GCS_CONNECTOR_VERSION metadata key. For example, --metadata GCS_CONNECTOR_VERSION=2.0.0.

  • New Dataproc image versions: 1.2.85-debian9, 1.3.45-debian9, 1.4.16-debian9, 1.3.45-ubuntu18, 1.4.16-ubuntu18, and Preview.

    • Note that Dataproc 1.1 will have no further releases.

  • Update Conscrypt library to 1.4.2

  • Failed Jobs error messages now include a link to the logs in the Cloud Console rather than to the Google Cloud Storage directory containing them.

  • 1.3 image

    • Upgrade Spark to 2.3.4.

  • 1.4 image

    • Upgrade Hive to 2.3.6.
    • Apply SPARK-28921 to prevent Spark jobs from failing on newer versions of Kubernetes (1.15.3, 1.14.6, 1,13.10, 1.12.10, 1.11.10)

  • Preview image

    • Hadoop 2.10
    • Spark 2.4.4
    • Hive 2.3.6
    • Pig 0.17.0
    • Tez 0.9.2
    • Cloud Storage Connector 2.0.0
    • Python 3.7
    • Scala 2.12.0
    • Anaconda3 5.3.0
    • Druid 0.16
    • Hive Webhcat 2.3.2
    • Jupyter 4.5.0
    • Kerberos 1.15.1
    • Presto 324 (prestosql)
    • Zeppelin 0.9.0-SNAPSHOT
    • Zookeeper 3.4.13

Breaking Changes:

  • Dataproc will no longer accept requests to create new clusters using Debian 8 images. Existing clusters that are using Debian 8 can still be used and scaled.

  • The alpha version of the Kerberos optional component option has been removed from the v1beta2 API. To use Kerberos, please configure it via the SecurityConfig message instead.

  • Disallow setting or overriding goog-dataproc-* labels when creating or updating clusters. All attempts to set goog-dataproc-* labels on creation will be ignored. Any existing custom goog-dataproc-* labels on running clusters will be removed if cluster labels are updated, and attempts to add new custom goog-dataproc-* labels to existing clusters will be ignored.

  • Reset autoscaling if the same or a new autoscaling policy is attached to a cluster. E.g. through gcloud dataproc clusters update --autoscaling-policy=<policy-name>. Note that resetting autoscaling does not change the cluster's status. Autoscaling will only run while the cluster's status is RUNNING or UPDATING, and does not work if the cluster is in ERROR. In addition, if the cluster was previously resizing (UPDATING), the autoscaler will not be able to scale the cluster until the previous update operation has completed.

    • Also fixes an issue where autoscaling would not reset correctly if autoscaling was disabled then re-enabled with the same within 30 seconds. Running gcloud dataproc clusters update --disable-autoscaling and then gcloud dataproc clusters update --autoscaling-policy=<same-policy> should now correctly reset autoscaling regardless of how long autoscaling was disabled.

  • Fixed race condition where deleting a cluster shortly after updating it would not delete all of the cluster's VMs

  • Allow compute resource names with an Alpha API version. For example: https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/alpha/projects/my-project/global/networks/my-network.

    • This allows gcloud alpha dataproc clusters create <cluster-name> --network=my-network to succeed, since gcloud sets the compute API version to the same as the gcloud command track.

  • Image 1.4:
    • The property dataproc:jupyter.hub.enabled can now be used to enable jupyterhub-singleuser (version 1.0.0) when using the JUPYTER optional component. This is intended to be used with DataprocSpawner. Properties dataproc:jupyter.hub.env and dataproc:jupyter.hub.args are populated by the spawner.
  • New sub-minor versions of Cloud Dataproc images: 1.1.119-debian9, 1.2.82-debian9, 1.3.42-debian9, 1.4.13-debian9, 1.3.42-ubuntu18, 1.4.13-ubuntu18.
  • Image 1.4
    • Upgraded Zeppelin to 0.8.1 with fix for compatibility issue with Spark 2.4.
  • Fixed autoscaling issue where autoscaler rounded down the number of nodes to add if scaleUpFactor * pendingMemory was a fractional value. Now, the autoscaler correctly rounds up to ensure that the cluster is large enough to allocate the required percentage of pending memory. For example, previously, with scaleUpFactor = 1.0 and enough pending memory for half a node, the autoscaler did not allocate a new node. Now, the autoscaler will correctly allocate a new node so that the cluster is sufficiently large to allocate all pending YARN containers.
  • Fixed autoscaling Stackdriver logging that reported the wrong jsonPayload type.
  • Fixed an issue where creations of High Availability clusters with Kerberos enabled using Ubuntu images failed.
  • Image 1.4

June 20, 2019

  • New major and sub-minor versions of Cloud Dataproc images: 1.1.115-debian9, 1.2.78-debian9, 1.3.38-debian9, 1.4.9-debian9, 1.3.38-ubuntu18, 1.4.9-ubuntu18
  • Image 1.1:
    • Upgraded Hadoop to 2.7.7
  • Fixed an issue in which a cluster entered an ERROR state if Cloud Dataproc failed during validation of HDFS capacity when scaling down primary workers.
  • Fixed issue in which Spark jobs failed if fs.defaultFS was passed at job submission and the directory /user/spark/eventlog did not exist in the specified FileSystem. The spark event log directory now defaults to hdfs:///user/spark/eventlog without regard to the default FileSystem. Users can override this behavior by setting the properties spark.eventLog.dir and spark.history.fs.logDirectory when creating a cluster or submitting a job.
  • Fixed an issue in which fsck fails on Kerberized clusters, which can defeat cluster downscaling.
  • YARN node labels are now disallowed on autoscaling clusters (yarn:yarn.node-labels.enabled). Non-exclusive node labels are not compatible with autoscaling since they cause YARN to incorrectly report cluster utilization metrics (including pending memory). See YARN-9088
  • Fixed a rare deadlock in agent that stops sending HDFS/YARN metrics to Stackdriver.

June 18, 2019

  • New major and sub-minor versions of Cloud Dataproc images: 1.1.114-debian9, 1.2.77-debian9, 1.3.37-debian9, 1.4.8-debian9, 1.3.37-ubuntu18, 1.4.8-ubuntu18
  • Added a warning when using the alpha version of Kerberos configuration. Kerberos is now configured on a Dataproc cluster via the KerberosConfig message instead of Dataproc properties and optional components. Create cluster requests that use the Component+Properties mechanism in the clusters API to configure Kerberos will now generate a warning to use KerberosConfig instead.
  • Clusters created with small PD Standard disks will no longer trigger a warning during creation if they also have local SSDs specified on the disk configuration.
  • Audit requests and responses for the Cloud Dataproc Autoscaling Policies API. Previously, API methods were audited, but not the actual request and response bodies.
  • Image 1.3 and 1.4:
    • Cloud Storage connector upgraded to 1.9.17

June 11, 2019

  • New major and sub-minor versions of Cloud Dataproc images: 1.1.113-debian9, 1.2.76-debian9, 1.3.36-debian9, 1.4.7-debian9, 1.3.36-ubuntu18, 1.4.7-ubuntu18
  • Failed autoscaling operations now appear with error messages in logs. Previously, log included only the failing operation ID, which user was expected to use to lookup the error message.
  • Image 1.4:
    • Upgraded Tez to 0.9.2.
  • Image 1.3:
    • The zstandard codec is now supported in Hadoop.

June 2019 Release Note Bulletin

This bulletin applies if you override the defaultFS at job-submission time for Spark jobs.

An inadvertent change in behavior has been identified for determining the location of the Spark eventlog directory when setting spark.hadoop.fs.defaultFS to any setting other than HDFS at Spark job-submission time in the following Cloud Dataproc June 2019 image versions:

1.1.113-debian9, 1.2.76-debian9, 1.3.36-debian9, 1.4.7-debian9, 1.3.36-ubuntu18, 1.4.7-ubuntu18 1.1.114-debian9, 1.2.77-debian9, 1.3.37-debian9, 1.4.8-debian9, 1.3.37-ubuntu18, 1.4.8-ubuntu18

Although the /user/spark/eventlog directory normally stays in HDFS, it began referring to the specified filesystem from spark.hadoop.fs.defaultFS in these image versions, and can result in the failure of Spark jobs with an error similar to "java.io.FileNotFoundException: File not found : /user/spark/eventlog".

Use any of the following strategies as a workaround:

  1. Run the following command manually before submitting jobs:

    hdfs dfs -mkdir -p <filesystem base/bucket>/user/spark/eventlog

  2. Add the following Spark properties to Spark jobs to override defaultFS:

    spark.eventLog.dir=hdfs:///user/spark/eventlog,spark.history.fs.logDirectory=hdfs:///user/spark/eventlog

  3. Temporarily pin to the immediately prior image version numbers until image versions newer than those listed above are available.

May 06, 2019

  • New major and sub-minor versions of Cloud Dataproc images: 1.0.118-debian9, 1.1.109-debian9, 1.2.72-debian9, 1.3.32-debian9, 1.4.3-debian9, 1.3.32-ubuntu18, 1.4.3-ubuntu18
  • Image 1.3:
    • Upgraded Spark to 2.3.3.
  • Image 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4:
  • Image 1.3 and 1.4:

April 29, 2019

  • New major and sub-minor versions of Cloud Dataproc images: 1.0.117-debian9, 1.1.108-debian9, 1.2.71-debian9, 1.3.31-debian9, 1.4.2-debian9, 1.3.31-ubuntu18, 1.4.2-ubuntu18
  • Image 1.2:
    • Parallelized the Hive.copyFiles method in Spark's fork of Hive.
  • Image 1.4:
    • Upgraded Spark to 2.4.1.
    • Included S3 and Azure Storage connectors in Spark 2.4 libraries.
  • Changed compute root API URL from www.googleapis.com to https://compute.googleapis.com due to a change in compute client.
  • Allowed updating clusters after the expiration of its custom image. Previously, after the expiration of a cluster's custom image, the cluster could not be resized manually or through autoscaling. Now, clusters created with valid custom images can be resized indefinitely.
  • Disallowed using the dataproc:am.primary_only cluster property with autoscaling since this property, which restricts the scheduling of app masters to primary workers, uses YARN Node Labels. Non-exclusive node labels are not compatible with autoscaling since they cause YARN to incorrectly report cluster utilization metrics (including pending memory). See YARN-9088 Note: Hadoop MapReduce and Spark jobs in client mode, which is the Cloud Dataproc default, are resilient to app master failures (scheduling app masters on primary workers is not necessary in client mode).
  • Fixed issue where the dataproc.googleapis.com/cluster/job/running_count metric was not consistent with the active running jobs count on the Cloud Dataproc Job page in Google Cloud Platform console.
  • Fixed an issue in which the HDFS Datanode blocks and MapReduce and Spark local directories on clusters with local SSDs were stored on both the cluster's boot disk and on the local SSDs. They are now stored only on the local SSDs.

April 26, 2019

  • Announcing the Beta release of Cloud Dataproc Job Logs in Stackdriver. Enable this feature to view, search, filter, and archive job driver and YARN container logs in Stackdriver Logging.
    • The dataproc:dataproc.logging.stackdriver.job.driver.enable=true service property can now be used to enable sending Job driver logs to Stackdriver. Logs will be sent to the Stackdriver "Cloud Dataproc Job" resource under the dataproc.job.driver log.
    • The dataproc:dataproc.logging.stackdriver.job.yarn.container.enable service property can now be used to enable sending YARN container logs to Stackdriver. Logs will be sent to the Stackdriver "Cloud Dataproc Job" resource under the dataproc.job.yarn.container log (instead of the "Cloud Dataproc Cluster" resource under the yarn-userlogs log).
  • New sub-minor versions of Cloud Dataproc images - 1.0.116-debian9, 1.1.107-debian9, 1.2.70-debian9, 1.3.30-debian9, 1.4.1-debian9, 1.3.30-ubuntu18, 1.4.1-ubuntu18
  • Removed limit on concurrent number of running workflow templates per project.
  • Put Zookeeper Server in secure (Kerberos) mode if Kerberos is enabled on HA clusters.
  • The dataproc:jobs.file-backed-output.enable service property now configures Cloud Dataproc jobs to pipe their output to temporary files in the /var/log/google-dataproc-job directory.
  • Added cluster UUID in the description of Compute Engine instance groups created by Cloud Dataproc to be used as secondary identifier to classify whether a Google Compute Engine instance group manager is created by Cloud Dataproc.
  • Image 1.3 only:
    • Parallelized Hive.copyFiles method in the Spark fork of Hive.

Clicking on a link opens the web interface of the component running on the master node of the cluster in a local browser.

April 04, 2019

  • Initial Alpha release of Cloud Dataproc Enhanced Flexibility Mode. Enhanced Flexibility Mode can provide stability and scalability benefits by preserving stateful node data, such as mapreduce shuffle data, in HDFS. Enhanced Flexibility Mode can be used with clusters created with image version 1.4.x and later.

March 26, 2019

February 26, 2019

  • Due to the issue announced on February 22, 2019, Cloud Dataproc image versions announced on February 14, 2019 (1.0.111-deb9, 1.1.102-deb9, 1.2.65-deb9, 1.3.25-deb9, 1.4.0-RC9-deb9) and the changes and fixes associated with those image versions are currently not available. The latest images versions available for cluster creation, and the changes and fixes associated with those image versions, are those announced on February 11, 2019 (1.0.110-deb9, 1.1.101-deb9, 1.2.64-deb9, 1.3.24-deb9, 1.4.0-RC8-deb9).

February 22, 2019

  • Cloud Dataproc images 1.3.25-deb9 and 1.4.0-RC9-deb9 contain Cloud Storage connector 1.9.13 that has a bug that could lead to a spike in Cloud Storage list requests. You can mitigate this issue by pinning the Dataproc image version to one of the previous releases (1.3.24-deb9, 1.4.0-RC8-deb9).

February 14, 2019

  • New sub-minor versions of Cloud Dataproc images - 1.0.111-deb9, 1.1.102-deb9, 1.2.65-deb9, 1.3.25-deb9, 1.4.0-RC9-deb9
  • The yarn-site.xml yarn.resourcemanager.webapp.methods-allowed property now defaults to "GET,HEAD". This change restricts the HTTP methods that can be called on the YARN Resource Manager web UI (default port 8088) and REST APIs to GET and HEAD only, and disables job submission and modifications via the YARN REST API. You can override the default values and enable specific HTTP methods on port 8088 by setting the yarn.resourcemanager.webapp.methods-allowed property to one or more comma-separated HTTP method names when you create a cluster. An ALL value will allow all HTTP methods on the port.
    Example: gcloud dataproc clusters create --properties='yarn:yarn.resourcemanager.webapp.methods allowed=GET,POST,DELETE'
    Recommendation: If you set this property to allow non-default HTTP methods, make sure to configure firewall rules and other security settings to restrict access to port 8088 (see Cluster Web Interfaces→Avoid Security Vulnerabilities).

  • YARN applications that are submitted via the Cloud Dataproc Jobs API now include the Job UUID in the application tags with the format "dataprocuuid${UUID}".
  • Removed upper limit on total number of threads in job drivers.
  • Image 1.3 only:
    • Added a new yarn-site.xml property (yarn.resourcemanager.webapp.methods-allowed) which is set with a comma- separated list of the names of HTTP methods that the YARN Resource Manager will allow to be called in its web UI and REST API (default port 8088). The current default value is "ALL", which allows all HTTP methods (GET,POST,PUT,PATCH,DELETE,HEAD,CONNECT,OPTIONS, TRACE). It is recommended that this property be set to "GET" to disable remote code submission or other modifications via the REST API. This property will default to "GET" for all Cloud Dataproc clusters in a future release (see Important cross-update notes, above).
  • Image 1.4 preview only:
    • Upgraded Kafka to 1.1.1
    • Added a new yarn-site.xml property (yarn.resourcemanager.webapp.methods-allowed) which is set with a comma- separated list of the names of HTTP methods that the YARN Resource Manager will allow to be called in its web UI and REST API (default port 8088). The current default value is "ALL", which allows all HTTP methods (GET,POST,PUT,PATCH,DELETE,HEAD,CONNECT,OPTIONS, TRACE). It is recommended that this property be set to "GET" to disable remote code submission or other modifications via the REST API. This property will default to "GET" for all Cloud Dataproc clusters in a future release (see Important cross-update notes, above).
  • Fixed issue in which graceful decommission was not graceful on HA clusters.

  • Do not throttle scheduling of submitted jobs based on master node CPU load.
  • Set yarn.resourcemanager.nodemanager-graceful-decommission-timeout-secs to 86400 (1 day) on Cloud Dataproc 1.3+ clusters. This fixes the bug where trying to graceful decommission nodes with a timeout on Cloud Dataproc 1.3+ would still terminate at 1 hour.
  • Upgrade the Presto Component to version 0.215.
  • Change property parameter in Kerberos Component "dataproc:kerberos.cross-realm-trust.shared-key.uri" to "dataproc:kerberos.cross-realm-trust.shared-password.uri".
  • Make the Presto Component compatible with the Kerberos Component, so if both Components are enabled, Presto will run in secure mode.
  • Explicitly set the property hadoop.ssl.enabled.protocols to "TLSv1,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2". This change will affect any newly created clusters using a Dataproc image 1.2 and up. This is to help avoid issues caused by incompatibility between SSLv2Hello (enabled by default in Hadoop 2.8.4 and up) and the Conscrypt security provider, the default security provider used by the Cloud Storage connector.
  • Make 1.3 default image version.
  • Image 1.0 only:

    • Patch Spark-25959 GBTClassifier picks wrong impurity stats on loading.
    • Upgrade Hive to 2.3.4.
    • Cloud Storage connector upgrade (for more information, review the change notes in the GitHub repository).
  • Remove the logic in Kerberos optional component to set property hadoop.ssl.enabled.protocols. It will be set by the Dataproc service.
  • Collect Zookeeper logs as part of the diagnose command.
  • Export Zookeeper logs to stackdriver.
  • Run Dataproc Agent process at higher priority.
  • Add parquet (parquet-cli) binary to PATH for debugging convenience.
  • Fix Hive-WebHCat to use effective python profile, and fix issues with logging directory.
  • Publish up-to-date HDFS and YARN metrics from the Dataproc agent. Earlier, there was an up to 30 second delay between collection and publishing.
  • Reduce the minimum autoscaling cooldown period to 2 minutes. The cooldown period still starts after a previous scaling operation completes.

November 12, 2018

  • New sub-minor versions of Cloud Dataproc images - 1.0.101-deb9, 1.1.92-deb9, 1.2.55-deb9, 1.3.15-deb9.
  • Minor image versions now redirect to Debian 9-based images. For example, 1.2 now points to 1.2-deb9. There will be no new Debian 8-based images.
  • Job UUIDs are now exposed to allow job runs to be uniquely identified.
  • The Cloud Storage Connector now sets fadvise to SEQUENTIAL for Hadoop DistCp jobs. This mode is optimized for streaming reads, which are most efficient for these workloads.
  • Removed the ALPN boot jar from Cloud Dataproc versions 1.0 and 1.1 due to incompatibility with the latest OpenJDK 8 distributed with Debian. gRPC users must use a form of netty-tcnative, for example, io.grpc:grpc-netty-shaded. This already applies to 1.2 and 1.3.
  • Reduced the Linux process priority of user jobs.
  • dfs.namenode.datanode.registration.retry-hostname-dns-lookup is now set to true.

For example, changing the default Python to Python 3 previously broke initialization. * Fixed a bug where POST ant PUT requests to the YARN REST API were blocked by anonymous users on Cloud Dataproc 1.3. This was fixed by adding org.apache.hadoop.http.lib.StaticUserWebFilter back to hadoop.http.filter.initializers in core-site.xml * Fixed logging warnings in Hive 2 in Cloud Dataproc 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3.

November 02, 2018

  • As of November 2, 2018, Cloud Dataproc has stopped releasing images based on Debian 8. 1.X releases after November 2, 2018 will use Debian 9 as their base OS. No further updates, patches, or security fixes will be released for Debian 8 after November 2, 2018.
  • On November 9, 2018, the ALPN boot jar will be removed from the classpath of future Cloud Datproc version 1.0 and 1.1 images due to incompatibilites with the latest security patches of the Debian OpenJDK 8 package. Image version 1.2 and 1.3 will be gRPC Java clients, and will need to use netty-tcnative for authentication with Google APIs. Clients, such as Cloud Bigtable, that bundle netty-tcnative can depend on grpc-netty-shaded to avoid collisions with the Hadoop Classpath. See Manage Java and Scala dependencies for Apache Spark for more information.

October 26, 2018

  • New sub-minor versions of Cloud Dataproc images - 1.0.100-deb8, 1.1.91-deb8, 1.2.54-deb8, 1.3.14-deb8, 1.0.100-deb9, 1.1.91-deb9, 1.2.54-deb9, 1.3.14-deb9.
  • Fixed a Graceful Decommissioning and Secondary Workers issue. When using graceful decommissioning to remove secondary (preemptible) workers soon after scaling the secondary worker group, an error would occasionally occur with a error message similar to the following: "Secondary worker group cannot be modified outside of Cloud Dataproc. If you recently created or updated this cluster, wait a few minutes before gracefully decommissioning to allow all secondary instances to join or leave the cluster. Expected secondary worker group size: x, actual size: y."
    Related Information:
    • Cloud Dataproc calls listManagedInstances on the Managed Instance Group that manages secondary workers, filters out instances whose current action is DELETING or ABANDONING, and then chooses instances to delete from the resulting set. Cloud Dataproc prefers to delete VMs that are being created, rather than running VMs.
    • When describing a cluster, the secondary worker group will still appear to have instances that are DELETING and ABANDONING. Thus, the group's target size may not match the size of the list of hostnames, even after the scaling operation is complete. The instances will be removed from the list when they have been deleted from the Managed Instance group.
  • Fixed issues that led to an "Internal Server Error" when creating clusters.

  • Cloud Dataproc 1.2 – A new image version for Cloud Dataproc is now generally available: 1.2. It will become the default image version for new clusters starting in 2 weeks. See the Cloud Dataproc version list for more information. Some important changes included in this new image version:
    • Apache Spark has been updated to version 2.2.0.
    • Apache Hadoop has been updated to version 2.8.0.
    • The default security (SSL) provider used by the Cloud Storage connector has been changed to one based on Conscrypt. This change should more efficiently utilize the CPU for SSL operations. In many cases, this change should result in better read and write performance between Cloud Dataproc and Cloud Storage.
    • The reported block size for Cloud Storage is now 128MB.
    • Memory configuration for Hadoop and Spark have both been adjusted to improve performance and stability.
    • HDFS daemons no longer use ephemeral ports in accordance with new port assignments outlined in HDFS-9427. This eliminates certain rare race conditions that could cause occasional daemon startup failures.
    • YARN Capacity Scheduler fair ordering from YARN-3319 is now enabled by default.

Starting with the Cloud Dataproc 1.2 release, the ALPN boot jars are no longer provided on the Cloud Dataproc image. To avoid Spark job breakage, upgrade Cloud Bigtable client versions, and bundle boringssl-static with Cloud Dataproc jobs. Our initialization action repository contains initialization actions to revert to the previous (deprecated) behavior of including the jetty-alpn boot jar. This change should only impact you if you use Cloud Bigtable or other Java gRPC clients from Cloud Dataproc.

October 11, 2016

  • Cloud Storage and BigQuery connector upgrades – The Cloud Storage connector has been upgraded to gcs-connector-1.5.4 and the BigQuery connector has been upgraded to bigquery-connector-0.8.0. For more information, review the Cloud Storage or BigQuerychange notes in the GitHub repository.
  • dataproc.localssd.mount.enable – Added the new property dataproc.localssd.mount.enable that can be set at cluster deployment time to make Cloud Dataproc ignore local SSDs. If set, Cloud Dataproc will use the main persistent disks for HDFS and temporary Hadoop directories so the local SSDs can be used separately for user-defined purposes. This property can be set by using the argument --properties dataproc:dataproc.localssd.mount.enable=false when creating a Cloud Dataproc cluster.
  • Fixed an issue where CPU quota validation for preemptible virtual machines was being performed against the non-preemptible CPU quota even when preemptible CPU quota was set.

October 07, 2016

  • GCP Console
    • Now, up to 8 local SSDs can be added to worker nodes. The previous limit was 4.
    • When looking at a cluster's details, the "Jobs" page now shows Stop and Delete buttons for every job in the list. Previously, the buttons were only visible on the row where the mouse hovered.
  • Optimized the listing of resources by state and cluster UUID. This should reduce several list operations from seconds to milliseconds.

September 29, 2016

  • Hadoop High Availability Mode [BETA] – Cloud Dataproc clusters can be created with high availability mode enabled. This is an optional feature when creating a cluster. In high availability mode, Cloud Dataproc clusters have three master nodes instead of one. This enables both HDFS High Availability and YARN High Availability to allow uninterrupted YARN and HDFS operations despite any single-node failures or reboots.

    Presently, this feature is available when creating clusters with the [gcloud](https://cloud.google.com/dataproc/docs/gcloud-installation) command-line tool or the Cloud Dataproc REST API. A future release will enable support for creating clusters with high availability in the Google Cloud Platform Console.

    See the high availability mode documentation for more information.

  • Cloud Dataproc is now generally available! For more information, see our announcement blog post.

  • Custom compute engine machine types - Cloud Dataproc clusters now support custom Compute Engine machine types for both master and worker nodes. This means you can create clusters with customized amounts of virtual CPUs and memory. For more information, please read the Dataproc documentation for custom machine types.

  • OSS upgrades - We have released Cloud Dataproc version 1.0. This release includes an upgrade to Apache Spark 1.6.0 and Apache Hadoop 2.7.2. This release also includes new versions of the Cloud Storage and Google BigQuery connectors.

  • v1 API - The v1 API for Cloud Dataproc is now live. This API includes support for regionality along with minor fixes and adjustments. The API is available in the APIs Explorer and also has a Maven artifact in Maven Central. For more information, review the REST API documentation.

  • Support for --jars for PySpark - Added support for using the --jars option for PySpark jobs.

  • API auto-enable - Enabling the Cloud Dataproc API now automatically enables required dependent APIs, such as Cloud Storage and Google Compute Engine

  • Resolved several issues that occasionally caused some clusters to hang being scaled down.
  • Improved validation of certain types of malformed URLs, which previously failed during cluster deployment.

  • A new --image-version option has been added: preview
    • Unlike other numerical versions like 0.1 and 0.2, the preview version will contain newer Hadoop/Spark/Pig/Hive components targeted for potential release in the next stable Cloud Dataproc distribution version, and will change over time.
    • As of February 3, 2016, the preview version contains Spark 1.6.0, with the same Hadoop/Pig/Hive versions as Cloud Dataproc 0.2.
    • The preview option is being rolled out to the GCP Console gradually, so may not be visible in your account for another week or so. For all users, the preview option is accessible by deploying clusters with the gcloud command-line tool.
  • Improved reliability of the DeleteJob command.
  • Fixed a bug that caused jobs to remain in a RUNNING state after the job completed successfully.

  • Two new options have been added to the Cloud Dataproc gcloud command-line tool for adding tags and metadata to virtual machines used in Cloud Dataproc clusters. These tags and metadata will apply to both regular and preemptible instances.
    • The --tags option will add tags to the Google Compute Engine instances in a cluster. For example, using the argument --tags foo,bar,baz will add three tags to the virtual machine instances in the cluster.
    • The --metadata option will add metadata to the compute engine instances. For example, using --metadata 'meta1=value1,key1=value2' will add two key-value pairs of metadata.
  • Support for heterogeneous clusters where the master node and worker nodes have different amounts of memory. Some memory settings were previously based on the master node which caused some problems as described in this Stack Overflow question. Cloud Dataproc now better supports clusters with master and worker nodes which use different machine types.
  • GCP Console
    • The Output tab for a job now includes a Line wrapping option to make it easier to view job output containing very long lines
  • Fixed two issues which would sometimes cause virtual machines to remain active after a cluster deletion request was submitted
  • The Spark maxExecutors setting is now set to 10000 to avoid the AppMaster failing on jobs with many tasks
  • Improved handling for aggressive job submission by making several changes to the Cloud Dataproc agent, including:
    • Limiting the number of concurrent jobs so they are proportional to the memory of the master node
    • Checking free memory before scheduling new jobs
    • Rate limiting how many jobs can be scheduled per cycle
  • Improved how HDFS capacity is calculated before commissioning or decommissioning nodes to prevent excessively long updates

January 21, 2016

  • The dataproc command in the Google Cloud SDK now includes a --properties option for adding or updating properties in some cluster configuration files, such as core-site.xml. Properties are mapped to configuration files by specifying a prefix, such as core:io.serializations. This command makes it possible to modify multiple properties and files when creating a cluster. For more information, see the Cloud Dataproc documentation for the --properties command.
  • GCP Console
    • An option has been added to the "Create Clusters" form to enable the cloud-platform scope for a cluster. This lets you view and manage data across all Google Cloud Platform services from Cloud Dataproc clusters. You can find this option by expanding the Preemptible workers, bucket, network, version, initialization, & access options section at the bottom of the form.
  • SparkR jobs no longer immediately fail with a "permission denied" error (Spark JIRA issue)
  • Configuring logging for Spark jobs with the --driver-logging-levels option no longer interferes with Java driver options
  • GCP Console
    • The error shown for improperly-formatted initialization actions now properly appears with information about the problem
    • Very long error messages now include a scrollbar so the Close button remains on-screen re ## January 7, 2016 #### Bugfixes
  • Fixed issue in Dataproc version 0.1 that caused zero-byte _SUCCESS and _FAILURE files for each job to be continually re-written to Cloud Storage.

December 16, 2015

    • The left-side icons for Clusters and Jobs are now custom icons rather than generic ones
    • An Image version field has been added to the bottom of the create cluster form that allows you to select a specific Cloud Dataproc image version when creating a cluster
    • A VM Instances tab has been added on the cluster detail page, which you can use to display a list of all VMs in a cluster and easily SSH into the master node
    • An Initialization Actions field has been added to the bottom of the create cluster form, which allows you to specify initialization actions when creating a cluster
    • Paths to Cloud Storage buckets that are displayed in error messages are now clickable links.
  • Forced distcp settings to match mapred-site.xml settings to provide additional fixes for the distcp command (see this related JIRA)
  • Ensured that workers created during an update do not join the cluster until after custom initialization actions are complete
  • Ensured that workers always disconnect from a cluster when the Cloud Dataproc agent is shutdown
  • Fixed a race condition in the API frontend that occurred when validating a request and marking cluster as updating
  • Enhanced validation checks for quota, Cloud Dataproc image, and initialization actions when updating clusters
  • Improved handling of jobs when the Cloud Dataproc agent is restarted
  • GCP Console
    • Allowed duplicate arguments when submitting a job
    • Replaced generic Failed to load message with details about the cause of an error when an error occurs that is not related to Cloud Dataproc
    • When a single jar file for a job is submitted, allowed it to be listed only in the Main class or jar field on the Submit a Job form, and no longer required it to also be listed in the Jar files field

  • Version selection - With the release of Cloud Dataproc version 0.2, you can now select among different versions of Cloud Dataproc (see Cloud Dataproc Versioning for information on support for previous versions and Cloud Dataproc Version List a list of the software components supported in each version). You can select a Cloud Dataproc version when creating a cluster through the Cloud Dataproc API, Cloud SDK (using the gcloud beta dataproc clusters create --image-version command) or through the https://console.cloud.google.com/. Note that within four days of the release of a new version in a region, the new version will become the default version used to create new clusters in the region.

  • OSS upgrades - We have released Cloud Dataproc version 0.2. The new Spark component includes a number of bug fixes. The new Hive component enables use of the hive command, contains performance improvements, and has a new metastore.

  • Connector updates - We released updates to our BigQuery and Google Cloud Storage connectors (0.7.3 and 1.4.3, respectively.) These connectors fix a number of bugs and the new versions are now included in Cloud Dataproc version 0.2.

  • Hive Metastore - We introduced a MySQL-based per-cluster persistent metastore, which is shared between Hive and SparkSQL. This also fixes the hive command.

  • More Native Libraries - Cloud Dataproc now includes native Snappy libraries. It also includes native BLAS, LAPACK and ARPACK libraries for Spark's MLlib.

  • Clusters --diagnose command - The Cloud SDK now includes a --diagnose command for gathering logging and diagnostic information about your cluster. More details about this command are available in the Cloud Dataproc support documentation.

  • Fixed the ability to delete jobs that fast-failed before some cluster and staging directories were created
  • Fixed some remaining errors with vmem settings when using the distcp command
  • Fixed a rare bug in which underlying Compute Engine issues could lead to VM instances failing to be deleted after the Cloud Dataproc cluster had been successfully deleted
  • Hive command has been fixed

    • Fields that were missing from the PySpark and Hive job configuration tab (Additional Python Files and Jar Files) have been added
    • The option to add preemptible nodes when creating a cluster is now in the "expander" at the bottom of the form
    • Machine types with insufficient memory (less than 3.5 GB) are no longer displayed in the list of machine types (previously, selecting one of these small machine types would lead to an error from the backend
    • The placeholder text in the Arguments field of the submit-job form has been corrected

Core service improvements
