Cloudera Manager 7.7.1 and the KNOX issues with HA

[#1]

After updating from CM 7.6.1 to CM 7.7.1, we are unable to connect the multiple PQS with the KNOX using the ODBC, Always getting the 500 error. But there is no issues when we are using the JDBC.

The cause of the issue is due to the topology change after the CM upgrade, for services such as HIVE and AVATICA.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
from:

<value>enabled=true;maxFailoverAttempts=3;failoverSleep=1000;maxRetryAttempts=300;retrySleep=1000;</value>

to:

<value>enableStickySession=true;noFallback=true;enableLoadBalancing=true</value>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is in order to support the Knox load balancer feature.

And we followed the below steps to revert the changes for existing cluster.

Knox --> Configuration --> Knox Gateway Advanced Configuration Snippet (Safety Valve) for conf/cdp-resources.xml
<name>providerConfigs:pam</name>
<value>role=ha#ha.name=HaProvider#ha.param.HIVE=enabled=true;maxFailoverAttempts=3;failoverSleep=1000;maxRetryAttempts=300;retrySleep=1000;#ha.param.AVATICA=enabled=true;maxFailoverAttempts=3;failoverSleep=1000;maxRetryAttempts=300;retrySleep=1000;</value>

Now the services are working, so far so good.
