We are pleased to announce the general availability of Cloudera Enterprise 5.16, the modern platform for machine learning and analytics optimized for the cloud. This release delivers a number of enhancements focusing on ease of administration, improved stability and performance at increased scale.  

 

The Cloudera Enterprise 5.16 release includes updated versions of many of our platform components, including:

  • CDH
  • Cloudera Manager
  • Apache Impala
  • Cloudera Navigator
  • Apache Kudu
  • Apache Sentry

5.16 adds new capabilities across four key themes:

  • Easier Administration
    • Sentry adds CREATE permission and user-level ownership of tables.   Enables securely sharing a single sandbox database among many users. Eliminates the administrative overhead of creating separate databases, roles and groups to preserve privacy for one person or a small group.
    • Customized upgrade guide puts all the steps needed for your upgrade in one document.

 

  • Scale and Performance
    • Navigator handles larger volumes of data with more select HDFS event and metadata capture.
    • New Kudu tablet rebalancing tool delivers more consistent performance and resource usage (without administrator intervention)

 

  • Enterprise Quality and Stability
    • New Cloudera Manager health checks for Impala, Kafka, Kudu and Navigator
    • Impala metadata handling improvements and REFRESH METADATA permission

 

  • Platform Support
    • Java OpenJDK
    • Oracle Enterprise Linux 7.5

 

Please note: The first release of Cloudera Enterprise 5.16 is numbered 5.16.1.

 

Additional information is available in the documentation and the Release Notes.
