For use with [StartJobRun](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/emr-on-eks/latest/APIReference/API_StartJobRun.html) and [ CreateManagedEndpoint](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/emr-on-eks/latest/APIReference/API_CreateManagedEndpoint.html) APIs:

[\[See the AWS documentation website for more details\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/emr/latest/EMR-on-EKS-DevelopmentGuide/emr-eks-6.10.0.html)
Configuration classifications allow you to customize applications. These often correspond to a configuration XML file for the application, such as `spark-hive-site.xml`. For more information, see [Configure Applications](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/emr/latest/ReleaseGuide/emr-configure-apps.html).
**Notable features**
+ **Spark operator** - With Amazon EMR on EKS 6.10.0 and higher, you can use the Kubernetes operator for Apache Spark, or *the Spark operator*, to deploy and manage Spark applications with the Amazon EMR release runtime on your own Amazon EKS clusters. For more information, see [Running Spark jobs with the Spark operator](spark-operator.md).
+ **Java 11** - With Amazon EMR on EKS 6.10 and higher, you can launch Spark with Java 11 runtime. To do this, pass `emr-6.10.0-java11-latest` as a release label. We recommend that you validate and run performance tests before you move your production workloads from the Java 8 image to the Java 11 image.
+ For the Amazon Redshift integration for Apache Spark, Amazon EMR on EKS 6.10.0 removes the dependency on `minimal-json.jar`, and automatically adds the required `spark-redshift` related jars to the executor class path for Spark: `spark-redshift.jar`, `spark-avro.jar`, and `RedshiftJDBC.jar`.
**Changes**
+ EMRFS S3-optimized committer is now enabled by default for parquet, ORC, and text-based formats (including CSV and JSON).
