10.0 New and Noteworthy

Open Data Format

The 'External Systems Plug-in' provides the functionality to synchronize workbooks in Hive. Data duplication from Datameer X to Hive is avoided and Hive creates external tables, that point back to the workbooks, which are managed and synchronized by Datameer. This reduces the amount of cluster resources used to just what is required for the workbook and import jobs to run.

Support Engineer Plugin - System & Usage Report

The 'System & Usage Report' now contains the customer`s meta data information which is needed in support cases and provides a higher level overview. Therefore all technical environment information can be reported. Only the administrator can view the system report as well as download the report files individually.

Support for Hortonworks HDP 3.1.0

Datameer X now supports Hortonworks HDP 3.1.0 for Datameer X versions 7.4 and higher.

Improved UI for Admin Variables

Datameer X improved the UI for the Admin Variables.

Configuring Network Proxy for S3 Native

S3 proxy settings now apply for S3 native connections.

Import Storage Format

Datameer X now uses Parquet as its default storage format. So all import gets converted into the Parquet file format.

Improved Workbook Saving

When creating a workbook from anywhere in Datameer X it gets saved in your home folder with a default name.

You can rename and move an existing workbook within your file browser. The content remains the same while only the name and saving location changes.

You can duplicate a workbook within your file browser. The content of the original workbook remains the same while you can save and edit the content of the duplicate.

Closing New Workbook with Content

Closing an opened workbook with content, which has not been renamed or moved for the first time, opens the 'Rename and Move' dialog to save the workbook. Otherwise the workbook is named 'Workbook' as default.

Closing an open workbook with content, being in 'File Browser' or another workbook, the 'Rename and Move' dialog appears.

Closing New Workbook without Content

Closing an empty workbook, which is saved under default name and location, the workbook is deleted automatically.

Closing an empty workbook, which is saved under default name and location, being in 'File Browser' or another workbook, the empty workbook is deleted automatically.

Workbook Inspector

The workbook information is now in the Sheet Inspector, providing the import job path as well as the reference workbook.

You can now navigate to an external workbook or external data source from the current workbook which contains the external sheet type. Clicking on the external sheet tab opens the external workbook with the correct preselected sheet or the external data source. Furthermore clicking on the external data source link opens the external workbook with the correct preselected sheet.

Clicking on external sheets or import jobs within the sheet dependencies graph, the target workbook will not open if there's only full data access. The workbook opens in another tab. The target sheet is the one that's in the target workbook tab. If the reference is an import job, it is opened.
