Bug fix for bdutil-0.34.0 to allow new deployments with attached PDs

[Hadoop on Google Cloud Platform Team]

Greetings, users of Hadoop on Google Cloud Platform!

If you haven’t downloaded bdutil-0.34.0 yet as of its release on Friday, May 9th, you can stop reading now.

We’ve recently been made aware of a minor typographical error which prevented bdutil-0.34.0 from being able to create new deployments if USE_ATTACHED_PDS was set to true or the flags -d/--use_attached_pds were enabled on the command-line. This bug does not affect any clusters which report having deployed successfully, nor does it affect any older versions of bdutil.

In case of a failed deployment, you can always clean up the partially-failed deployment using bdutil delete, even though it will possibly report that some errors occurred due to some of the expected resources not existing.

Due to the nature of the bug, we’ve pushed a patch to the existing download links; simply re-download bdutil-0.34.0.tar.gz or bdutil-0.34.0.zip from here, from the developer documentation pages, or even from the links in the original release announcement whenever it’s convenient, and you’ll have the bug fix to allow deploying new clusters with attached PDs as normal.

Our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused, and as always, please send any questions or comments to gcp-hadoo...@google.com

All the best,

Your Google Team
