  Note:
  1. MySQL 5.5 is supported on CDH 5.1. MySQL 5.6 is supported on CDH 5.1 and higher. The InnoDB storage engine must be enabled in the MySQL server.
  2. Cloudera Manager installation fails if GTID-based replication is enabled in MySQL.
  3. PostgreSQL 9.2 is supported on CDH 5.1 and higher. PostgreSQL 9.3 is supported on CDH 5.2 and higher. PostgreSQL 9.4 is supported on CDH 5.5 and higher.
  4. For purposes of transferring data only, Sqoop 1 supports MySQL 5.0 and above, PostgreSQL 8.4 and above, Oracle 10.2 and above, Teradata 13.10 and above, and Netezza TwinFin 5.0 and above. The Sqoop metastore works only with HSQLDB (1.8.0 and higher 1.x versions; the metastore does not work with any HSQLDB 2.x versions).
  5. Derby is supported as shown in the table, but not always recommended. See the pages for individual components in the Cloudera Installation and Upgrade guide for recommendations.
  6. CDH 5 Hue requires the default MySQL version of the operating system on which it is being installed, which is usually MySQL 5.1, 5.5, or 5.6.

Supported JDK Versions

CDH 5.8.x is supported with the versions shown in the following table:
Minimum Supported Version Recommended Version Exceptions
1.7.0_55 1.7.0_67, 1.7.0_75, 1.7.0_80 None
1.8.0_31 1.8.0_60 Cloudera recommends that you not use JDK 1.8.0_40.

Supported Browsers

Hue

Hue works with the two most recent versions of the following browsers. Cookies and JavaScript must be on.
  • Chrome
  • Firefox
  • Safari (not supported on Windows)
  • Internet Explorer
Hue could display in older versions and even other browsers, but you might not have access to all of its features.

Supported Network Protocols

  • CDH requires IPv4. IPv6 is not supported.

    See also Configuring Network Names.

  • Multihoming CDH or Cloudera Manager is not supported outside specifically certified Cloudera partner appliances. Cloudera finds that current Hadoop architectures combined with modern network infrastructures and security practices remove the need for multihoming. Multihoming, however, is beneficial internally in appliance form factors to take advantage of high-bandwidth InfiniBand interconnects.

    Although some subareas of the product may work with unsupported custom multihoming configurations, there are known issues with multihoming. In addition, unknown issues may arise because multihoming is not covered by our test matrix outside the Cloudera-certified partner appliances.
