Improvements have +been made, including retry logic, to withstand a few failed port choices. The changes made by [ACCUMULO-3233][12] +and the related issues should eliminate sporadic failures users of `MiniAccumuloCluster` might have observed. + +### Tracer doesn't handle trace table state transition + +The Tracer is an optional Accumulo server process that serializes Spans, elements of a distributed trace, +to the trace table for later inspection and correlation with other Spans. By default, the Tracer writes +to a "trace" table. In earlier versions of Accumulo, if this table was put offline, the Tracer would fail +to write new Spans to the table when it came back online. [ACCUMULO-3351][13] ensures that the Tracer process +will resume writing Spans to the trace table when it transitions to online after being offline. + +### Tablet not major compacting + +It was noticed that a system performing many bulk imports, there was a tablet with hundreds of files which +was not major compacting nor was scheduled to be major compacted. [ACCUMULO-3462][14] identified as fix +server-side which would prevent this from happening in the future. + +### YARN job submission fails with Hadoop-2.6.0 + +Hadoop 2.6.0 introduced a new component, the TimelineServer, which is a centralized metrics service designed +for other Hadoop components to leverage. MapReduce jobs submitted via `accumulo` and `tool.sh` failed to +run the job because it attempted to contact the TimelineServer and Accumulo was missing a dependency on +the classpath to communicate with the TimelineServer. [ACCUMULO-3230][15] updates the classpath in the example +configuration files to include the necessary dependencies for the TimelineServer to ensure that YARN job +submission operates as previously. ## Performance Improvements @@ -150,4 +179,8 @@ and, in HDFS High-Availability instances [8]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3301 [9]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3217 [10]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3372 -[11]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3385 \ No newline at end of file +[11]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3385 +[12]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3233 +[13]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3351 +[14]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3462 +[15]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3230 \ No newline at end of file
