Release 1.11.2:

  • Pod Security Context: Added securityContext settings to all pods, ensuring that all resources are running as non-root users.
    • Note that Spark images requires root user only if using default hostPath volumes, which can be adjusted from Volume Settings in the IOMETE Console by choosing Dynamic PVC.
    • Currently, only Apache Ranger requires root user permissions, which will be addressed in a future release.
  • Eliminated Assets Bucket: We have eliminated additional bucket created/used for assets, which was previously required for storing assets like 'sql query results', 'spark history data', etc. Now, assets are stored in the same bucket as the data lake.
  • Role/Permissions Settings: Redesigned and improved role/permissions settings for better user management and access control.
    • Updated permissions page desing for better user experience.
    • IAM Settings now controlled by two permissions: View and Manage. Previously each component of IAM settings (Users / Groups / Roles) managed by separate permissions.
    • Data Security / Data Catalog: List and View actions combined into a single View permission. Create and Manage actions combined into a single Manage permission.
    • Added new permission for Spark Settings.
    • Added new permission for Data Plane Settings.
  • Logging Source: Users now have the flexibility to choose their logging source. Previously, only Loki was supported. Now, users can choose between Kubernetes, Loki, and Elasticsearch.
    • Kubernetes: Displays logs only for active/current resources and does not include historical data (e.g., logs for terminated resources are not available).
    • Elasticsearch: Requires an SSL connection and an API key for authentication.
  • Iceberg upgraded to 1.5.
  • Ranger now operates as non-root with securityContext configuration.
  • Added Requests and Limits to all IOMETE Kubernetes resources.
  • Iceberg: Fixed the issue with reading parquet time_micros fields defined as bigint in the schema by adding BigIntVector allocation in VectorizedArrowReader.

Release 1.9.0:

  • LDAP Configuration: The IOMETE Console now supports LDAP configuration, offering a more streamlined and secure way to manage user access and authentication.
  • Advanced Spark Catalog Options: Additional configuration capabilities have been introduced for Spark Catalog registration, providing more flexibility and control to users.
  • Custom Node Pool Configuration: Users can now tailor node pool settings to their specific needs, allowing for optimized resource allocation and usage.
  • Resource Tagging: The ability to add tags to various resources within the IOMETE Console improves resource management, making it easier to categorize and track Lakehouse, Spark Connect, Spark Jobs, etc.
  • Spark Connect Clusters - Connection Stability: Issues affecting Spark Connect Cluster connections, particularly from Jupyter notebooks and Windows environments, have been addressed.
  • Spark Operator Webhook Configuration: This can now be deployed separately. This also enabled removing ClusterRole requirements from the base Helm chart.
  • Removed Cluster Role: The Cluster Role previously required (to control MutatingAdmissionWebhookConfiguration) for the spark-operator is removed from the base Helm chart.
  • User Permissions: Spark clusters previously running under root user permissions are now configured to operate under non-root user permissions.
  • Grafana Metrics: The hardcoded namespace issue in the Grafana monitoring dashboard has been resolved.
  • Bug Fixes: Various minor issues from the last release, including Spark URL problems, have been resolved.
  • Volume Settings: Users can now adjust volume settings directly from the IOMETE Console. This includes selecting volume configurations for each Spark resource, with options for hostpath, dynamic PVC, and size specifications on a per-resource basis.
