Release 2.1.1 Available

Release Notes
Apache Ozone 2.1.1 is a patch release that addresses critical bugs and security issues discovered in Ozone 2.1.0. Upgrade is strongly recommended for all 2.1.0 users.
Critical Bug Fixes (Upgrade Strongly Recommended)
HDDS-14858 — OM requests fail on JDK 11 with ClassNotFoundException: java.lang.constant.Constable
OM request fails with ClassNotFoundException: java.lang.constant.Constable.
Impact: If you run Ozone 2.1.0 on JDK 11 or lower, OM operations such as ozone sh key put can fail with:
RemoteException: java/lang/constant/Constable
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: java.lang.constant.Constable
Who is affected: Anyone on 2.1.0 + JDK ≤ 11. This is a regression from AspectJ bytecode generation referencing JDK 12+ APIs.
Action: Upgrade to 2.1.1 if you cannot move to JDK 17+.
HDDS-14778 — ozone-filesystem-shaded protobuf corruption breaks ofs:// clients
ozone-filesystem-shaded relocates/corrupts protobuf descriptor binary.
Impact: With TRACE logging enabled, Ozone filesystem client operations via ofs:// can fail at class load time:
ExceptionInInitializerError at OzoneManagerProtocolProtos.
Caused by: InvalidProtocolBufferException: Protocol message tag had invalid wire type
Root cause: Over-broad Maven shade relocation rules (io, kotlin, info, etc.) corrupted protobuf descriptor bytes inside the shaded JAR. The bug is latent and can reappear after proto changes.
Who is affected: Users of ozone-filesystem-shaded (Hadoop/OFS integration), especially with debug/trace logging.
Action: Upgrade to 2.1.1 and rebuild/redeploy shaded client JARs.
Security / Authorization Behavior Changes
HDDS-14898 & HDDS-14894 — Missing ACL checks on S3 multipart APIs
Impact: Behavior change (tightening). ListParts and ListMultipartUploads previously had no ACL checks. They now enforce authorization like other S3 APIs.
Who is affected:
- STS users with narrowly scoped tokens (e.g., PutObject-only) that previously could call these APIs
- Any workflow that relied on implicit access via multipart upload ownership
Action: After upgrade, verify multipart upload workflows and STS session policies. Previously "working" calls may now return 403 Access Denied.
HDDS-15064 — Ranger/STS S3 action–aware authorization
Impact: API/authorization model change for STS + Apache Ranger integration.
- Adds
s3ActiontoRequestContextso Ranger can restrict permissions by specific S3 action (e.g., distinguishs3:PutObjectTaggingfroms3:DeleteObjectTagging) OzoneGrantnow carries aSetof allowed S3 actions for inline policies
Who is affected: Clusters using STS temporary credentials with Ranger. Authorization becomes more granular; tokens may grant less access than before when S3 actions are explicitly scoped.
Action: Coordinate with your Ranger/Ozone plugin team. This was backported specifically so Ranger can consume it upstream in 2.1.1.
HDDS-14366 — Log4j2 bump to 2.25.3 (CVE-2025-68161)
Impact: Fixes TLS hostname verification bypass in Log4j2 Socket Appender (MITM risk for remote log shipping).
Who is affected: Only if you use Log4j2 Socket Appender over TLS with hostname verification enabled. Most clusters are unaffected unless they ship logs this way.
Notable Operational Fixes
HDDS-14368 — Recon shows wrong pipelines per container
Impact: Recon UI/API incorrectly showed all pipelines for every container instead of the container's actual WRITE pipeline.
Action: Upgrade if you rely on Recon for container/pipeline troubleshooting.
HDDS-13069 — S3 Gateway shutdown error
Impact: S3 Gateway logged an IllegalStateException from Weld/Jetty during admin webserver shutdown. Shutdown could appear to fail even though the process was stopping.
Action: Cosmetic/operational fix; shutdown now completes cleanly (error is caught and logged).
