Known Issues and Limitations

  • Airflow is not supported with 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.​
  • Starting with EEP 8.1.1, Apache PySpark is removed from the default Airflow dependencies. To use the Spark JDBC operator/hook from Apache, install PySpark as follows:
    1. Run <airflow_home>/build/env/bin/activate.
    2. Run pip install pyspark==<spark_version>.
    3. Run deactivate.
    4. NOTE
      This process does not affect the Ezmeral Spark provider.

Resolved Issues

  • None.
