New in This Release
This is the first release of the Airflow component. Starting from EEP 8.1.0, the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric supports Apache Airflow in core releases 7.0.0 and 6.2.0. You can use Airflow to:
- Define, schedule, and monitor workflows.
- Orchestrate third-party systems to execute tasks.
- Analyze and manage workflows using the Airflow web interface.
A variety of operators and sensors are provided to integrate Airflow with the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database. In addition, release 7.0.0 includes operators, sensors, and transfers that enable Airflow to create and interact with S3 buckets. For more information, see Airflow Providers.
Fixes
None.
Known Issues and Limitations
- Airflow is not supported on FIPS-enabled nodes.
- The Installer can install Airflow, but cannot set up MySQL as the backend database for Airflow. The default Airflow database is SQLite.
- S3 operators can be used with Airflow in release 7.0.0 but not in release 6.2.0 because native S3 support is not implemented in release 6.2.0.
- Airflow Amazon S3 providers might work with Minio S3 API, but HPE does not guarantee this functionality.
- Airflow requires a patch to operate in a release 6.2.0 cluster with security enabled.
Resolved Issues
- None.
