In CDP CLI, a new option --storage-type in the create-database command is introduced that replaces the [--use-hdfs | --no-use-hdfs] and [--disable-ephemeral-storage | --no-disable-ephemeral-storage] options. The --storage-type option supports these values, CLOUD_WITH_EPHEMERAL, CLOUD, and HDFS. Following is a sample command. cdp opdb create-database --environment <environment-name> --database <database-name> --storage-type CLOUD Documentation link: CDP CLI Beta This is available starting in COD v1.35 and you do not need to upgrade to a higher version of COD to benefit from this feature.

COD using HDFS and Object Store without Ephemeral Storage, now supports upgrading the operating system version of the database using the rolling restart mode. This ensures continuous service availability during an upgrade operation. In CDP CLI, you need to use the --os-upgrade-only option along with the --rolling-upgrade option in the upgrade-database command. Following is a sample command. cdp opdb upgrade-database --environment <environment-name> --database <database-name> [--runtime <runtime-version> | --image <imageId>] --os-upgrade-only --rolling-upgrade Documentation link: Performing a Cloudera operating system upgrade This is available starting in COD v1.35 and you do not need to upgrade to a higher version of COD to benefit from this feature.

COD has added a new CLI option, --java-version which can configure a major Java version on your COD cluster. The new CLI option can be used along with the create-database command to specify the Java version. The supported Java versions are JDK8 and JDK11. In case the parameter is not specified, JDK8 is used. Following is a sample command. cdp opdb create-database --environment-name <environment_name> --database-name <database_name> --java-version <value> cdp opdb create-database --environment-name cod7215 --database-name testenv --java-version 11 Useful links: CDP CLI beta This is available starting in COD v1.34 and you do not need to upgrade to a higher version of COD to benefit from this feature.   Try the Cloudera Operational Database for free with Test Drive (no cloud account or setup is needed). ...

COD on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) can now be deployed by using Google Cloud Storage (GCS) easily, similar to what is available for Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 storage and Microsoft Azure blob storage. The use of GCS for such a setup requires the COD_ON_GCS entitlement. COD also now supports a large ephemeral block cache while deploying on GCP. The use of ephemeral storage along with any cloud storage still requires the OPDB_USE_EPHEMERAL_STORAGE entitlement. This is available starting in COD v1.34 and you do not need to upgrade to a higher version of COD to benefit from this feature.   Try the Cloudera Operational Database for free with Test Drive (no cloud account or setup is needed). ...

You can now get a consolidated view of all the COD metrics using the Grafana dashboard. To enable the Grafana dashboard, simply use the --enable-grafana option in the create-database command. This enables the Grafana URL under the GRAFANA DASHBOARD option inside your COD database. When you click on the Grafana URL, it takes you to the Grafana dashboard. Here is a sample command: cdp opdb create-database --environment <environment_name> --database <database_name> --enable-grafana       Important links: COD documentation Release notes   This is available starting in COD v1.33 and you do not need to upgrade to a higher version of COD to benefit from this feature.   Try out CDP Operational Database for free with Test Drive (no cloud account or setup is needed). ...

You can define the --scale-type for both the master and gateway nodes using CDP CLI. The --scale-type option now supports all three options [--scale-type (string) <MICRO, LIGHT, HEAVY>] for both the --master-node-type and --gateway-node-type. --scale-type LIGHT (--master-node-type LITE, --gateway-node-type LITE) --scale-type HEAVY (--master-node-type HEAVY, --gateway-node-type HEAVY) If you do not define the --scale-type, <--scale-type LIGHT> is considered for both the --master-node-type and --gateway-node-type. However, you can overwrite the --scale-type for a --gateway-node-type using the [--gateway-node-type <value>] option.   Important link: CDP CLI beta   This is available starting in COD v1.33 and you do not need to upgrade to a higher version of COD to benefit from this feature.   Try out CDP Operational Database for free with Test Drive (no cloud account or setup is needed). ...

You can now define custom recipes while creating an operational database using the --recipes option in CDP CLI Beta. You can register pre-created recipes during database creation based on the instance groups in your database. The recipes are executed automatically for the specified nodes based on the recipes’ type. Use the following example command to define custom recipes for your operational database.   cdp opdb create-database --environment-name <ENVIRONMENT_NAME> --database-name <DATABASE_NAME> --recipe names=<rec1,rec2>,instanceGroup=<MASTER> names=<rec2>,instanceGroup=WORKER names=<rec3,rec4>,instanceGroup=<GATEWAY>   To know more about the recipes, see Recipes.
