Hive Metastore Integration

We’ve added the ability to create a Hive Metastore connection from the IDE and browse Hive catalogs, tables, and columns.

Apache Flink Monitoring in the IDE

You can now monitor Apache Flink applications right in your IDE with the ability to submit jobs.

Improved AWS EMR Integration

The Amazon EMR integration allows you to monitor clusters and nodes. As of v.2022.2, you can view EMR clusters as a tree view and filter them by the following states: terminated last day/hour/week. We also added the ability to open logs as .txt files.

Enhanced RFS Storages Support

Amazon S3 now supports SSO authentication and can filter by region for S3 connections.


Microsoft Azure now supports multiple containers.


We also added the ability to create SFTP connection with project SSH configuration, and introduced multiple improvements to RFS file editor.

Kafka Monitoring Refinements

Monitoring your Kafka event streaming processes has become even more convenient. Now you can filter topics in the topics lists. Support for SASL_PLAINTEXT authentication has also been added.

Improved Usability of the Big Data Tools Panel

We’ve reworked keyboard interactions inside the Big Data Tools panel and added multiple shortcuts, such as opening Kafka, Hadoop, and Spark Monitoring from the panel by simply clicking Enter, and adding convenient drag-and-drop functionality.
