3.3.0

Hue v3.0.0, released Friday 20th, September 2013

Hue, http://gethue.com, is an open source UI for Hadoop and its satellite projects.

It makes the whole platform (e.g. HDFS, MapReduce, Hive, Oozie, Pig, Impala, Solr, Sqoop, ZooKeeper…) easy to use and accessible from your browser (e.g. upload files to HDFS, send Hive queries from a Web editor, build workflows with Drag & Drop… all within a single app).

Notable Features

  • Sqoop With the Sqoop 2 application data from databases can be easily exported or imported into HDFS in a scalable way. The Job Wizard hides the complexity of creating Sqoop jobs and the dashboard offers a live progress and log access.

  • Zookeeper Navigate and browse the Znode hierarchy and content of a Zookeeper cluster. Znodes can be added, deleted and edited. Multi-clusters are supported and their various statistics are available.

  • Shell app is removed and replaced by Pig Editor, HBase Browser and the Sqoop apps.

  • Python 2.6 is required.

  • Beeswax daemon is replaced by HiveServer2.

Notable Fixes

  • HUE-897 [core] Redesign of the overall layout
  • HUE-1521 [core] Improve JT HA
  • HUE-1493 [beeswax] Replace Beeswaxd by HiveServer2
  • HUE-1474 [core] upgrade django from 1.2 to 1.4
