Known Issues and Limitations

  • Spark 2.0.1 does not support Spark Structured Streaming.
  • Full support of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams is available only on clusters with MapR 5.2 and later.
  • Spark is not able to submit jobs to YARN when the cluster is in "classic" mode, even if YARN is installed and configured.
  • MAPR-17271: On secure clusters, the MapR Control System (MCS) does not display links for Spark-Master and Spark-HistoryServer.
  • MAPR-25052: Spark Thrift Server does not start on clusters secured by MapR-SASL.
  • MAPR-26039: Spark does not propagate mapr_sec_enabled variable to Driver.
  • Spark versions up to and including 2.3.0 have the following security vulnerability:CVE-2018-1334 Apache Spark local privilege escalation vulnerability
