Known Issues

Number Description Workaround
16701881 When attempting to set the maximum number of CPUs used for Fusion processing tasks, geselectassetroot --numcpus fails to update the value specified. For GEE releases 5.0.0-5.0.2, the maximum number of CPUs can be set using the maxjobs option in /opt/google/etc/systemrc.
  1. Stop Fusion daemons:

    sudo /etc/init.d/gefusion stop

  2. Set maxjobs in /opt/google/etc/systemrc.
  3. Start Fusion daemons:

    sudo /etc/init.d/gefusion start

Resolved Issues

Number Description Resolution
16187780 When attempting to import the GDAL library installed with /opt/google/gepython/Python-2.7.5/bin/python Python 2.7.5, from osgeo import gdal_array, a traceback error occurs: ImportError: No module named _gdal_array. Fixed. The Python numpy library, which is required to load the gdal_array module, is now bundled with GEE Fusion.
11823150 When setting the maximum number of CPUs available for Fusion processes using the geselectassetroot --numcpus command, you cannot increase the value beyond 8. Fixed. You can now set the maximum number of CPUs using the geselectassetroot --numcpus command to a maximum value of 64. You can verify the value you set using getop The default setting for the maximum value is 8. For more information, see Running Fusion on a machine with multiple CPUs.
15391728, 15386589, 15429155 Potential cross-site scripting vulnerabilities have been identified. Fixed. Enhancements have been made to make GEE more secure.
