Chapter 1. HDP 2.4.2 Release Notes
This document provides you with the latest information about Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) 2.4.2 and its product documentation.
Component Versions
The official Apache versions of most HDP 2.4.2 components are unchanged from HDP 2.4.0.0, with the exception of Spark and Kafka. Spark is upgraded from 1.6.0 to 1.6.1; Kafka is upgraded from 0.9.0 to 0.9.0.1. See more details in the New Features section of these notes. All HDP components listed here are official Apache releases of the most recent stable versions available.
The Hortonworks approach is to provide patches only when necessary, to ensure the interoperability of components. Unless you are explicitly directed by Hortonworks Support to take a patch update, each of the HDP components should remain at the following package version levels, to ensure a certified and supported copy of HDP 2.4.2:
