Arcadia Enterprise upgrades to Release 5.0.0.0 from the baseline of Release 4.2.X and Release 4.3.X. If you have earlier versions of the product, you must perform a two-step upgrade: to Release 4.2.1.1, and then to Release 5.0.0.0.
In this release, we introduce Natural Language Search. This feature lets all users access data and create valuable visualizations naturally, without a deep understanding of query language and data modelling.
To open the Search interface, click the Search button that appears on the top menu of the Arcadia Enterprise interface, and enter the search phrase directly. See Using Global Search UI for detailed information.
For embedded use cases, add a Search visual to your dashboards, as described in Search Visuals.
To add the dataset to the search domain, you must enable it for search, as described in Enable the Dataset for NLS. You can specify what columns are visible to search, group datasets that should be searched together, and set the default aggregation column. You can also define search phrases, synonyms, and word expansions.
Time Modeling makes all datasets work more smoothly with Natural Language Search by specifying the date/time column, its format, and the default time interval.
This visual provides the Natural Language Search functionality in embedded dashboards.
See Search Visuals.
The dataset Delete Confirmation modal window now shows unlinked visuals, in addition to all the dashboards and linked visuals displayed earlier.
See Removing Datasets.
In this release, we added a new option, Year-to-Quarter under Date/Time Functions.
While the visual is streaming, if you manually move or change the zoom level in the map, even after auto-refresh of the visual, this option enables you to stay at the same location in the map.
Starting this release, if you download a CSV, Excel, PNG, or a PDF file in visuals and dashboards, the filename has a timestamp specifying the date and time when the file is created.
See Downloading Visual Data to CSV Files, Downloading Visual Data to Excel Files, Downloading Visuals as PNG Files, Downloading Current Sheet as a PDF File.
If you download a CSV file and open in Excel, leading zeros in a numeric string are truncated. To see the leading zeros, Arcadia Enterprise enables you to add quotes in a numeric string.
We can now deploy Arcadia Enterprise on an Amazon EMR Cluster. For details, see the following topics:
You can create fully managed Spark clusters on Amazon AWS Databricks or Microsoft Azure Databricks.
Starting this release, Arcadia Enterprise provides SSL support in
Confluent KSQL connections. You can use both http://
and
https://
IP addresses.
Starting with Release 4.5.0.2, if you upgrade from HDP 2.X to HDP 3.X, you must create external tables.
For instructions, see Upgrading from HDP 2.X to 3.X.
