Limitations

This topic describes some of the limitations of using Exchange 3.x.

Environment

Exchange 3.x supports the following operating systems:

  • CentOS 7
  • macOS

Software dependencies

To ensure the healthy operation of Exchange, ensure that the following software has been installed on the machine:

  • Java version 1.8
  • Scala version 2.10.7, 2.11.12, or 2.12.10

  • Apache Spark. The requirements for Spark versions when using Exchange to export data from data sources are as follows. In the following table, Y means that the corresponding Spark version is supported, and N means not supported.

    Note

    Use the correct Exchange JAR file based on the Spark version. For example, for Spark version 2.4, use nebula-exchange_spark_2.4-3.0.0.jar.
