Our community is now bigger, and better. We’re excited to announce that all legacy Hortonworks Community Connection (HCC) content is now available in our new Cloudera Community!
We hope you’re loving our newly redesigned and unified community, and we can’t wait for you to dive into all our new content.
Important Reminder for Legacy HCC Members
If you’re a legacy HCC member, please remember to activate your account by following the instructions on the activation guide. Once you register your account, take a moment to ensure all your content transferred to the new community. Please note, if you already have a Cloudera Community account under the same email as your HCC account, your HCC will be merged under your existing Cloudera Community profile and avatar.

On the “Topics with Label” page, click subscribe.
Go to your Profile > Settings to find your subscriptions. (Hint: Navigate to the home page or any question page to find your "profile" component).
Find your subscriptions or update your notification (email) preferences. - Upload an Avatar - From most pages you will find the "Profile Component".

Choose “My Profile” - View your profile information

- Click your avatar to access the Profile menu.
- Update Your Notification Preferences - Take a minute to set your preferences and ensure you’re subscribing to posts that match your interests. Click your avatar to get to My Settings > Subscriptions & Notifications > Notification Settings. You’ll receive an immediate email notification for your content subscriptions by default. You can change the frequency to: never, daily, or weekly. For more, see our Profile Tips.

- Ask Questions - Click “Ask a Question” in the main top navigation menu to start a new question from any community page.

To get to advanced search, type your search term and hit “enter”.
From there you can filter community content by labels, date, author, metadata, post type, and contains (text). - Share Your Expertise - Share your knowledge or troubleshooting tips with members using Community Articles and Repos. These are new types of content for the Cloudera Community, but if you’re coming from Hortonworks Community Connection, you’re already familiar with how these work. To share an article or repo, click the Contribute menu.
- Search technical articles. All community members will continue to have access to user-generated Community Articles containing valuable troubleshooting tips submitted by our members. Subscription customers will continue to have access to the official Hortonworks Support Knowledge Base where you can search articles for answers to the most common issues our customers face. Later this fall, customers will also gain access to a greater repository of support content when the official Cloudera Support Knowledge is merged. To learn more about becoming a support customer, visit Cloudera Support.
Our teams worked tirelessly to perform the migration. However, we're still working to optimize the experience, so please be patient with us as we continue to resolve minor issues in the coming days or weeks. Watch for a post about known issues, where you can track progress or report any problems you encounter.
