New in This Release

  • Improved Drill integration, see Integrate Hue with Drill.
  • Improvements in scripts used to manage the Hue Database.
  • Hue uses /opt/mapr/conf/ssl_truststore.pem file to verify SSL connections with other services on MapR cluster and /opt/mapr/conf/ssl_keystore.pem as its certificate.
  • For Livy upgrades, from Livy 0.3 and above, user configuration files are saved during upgrade.
  • Starting with EEP 6.0, MapR SASL authentication, encryption, and impersonation for Livy is enabled by default on secure clusters. For more information, see Configure Livy with Security.
  • Support for integrating Hue with ADLS. For more information, see Browsing ADLS data, querying it with SQL and exporting the results back in Hue 4.2.

Known Issues and Limitations

  • MapR does not support the integration between Hue 4.2.0 and the following components:
    • Solr Search
    • ZooKeeper
  • Integration between Hue 4.2.0 and Sentry 1.7 is supported on secure clusters that use Kerberos authentication, but it is not supported on secure clusters that use MapR-SASL authentication.
  • MAPR-2561: DB Query in Hue cannot execute more than one query.
  • MAPR-28087: Livy cannot use the Hive Interpreter. To work around this issue, use the cluster mode. Set livy.spark.deployMode=cluster in the {LIVY_CONF}/livy.conf file. This issue is caused by Spark 11851: "Unable to start spark thrift server against secured hive metastore(GSS initiate failed)".
  • MHUE-141 Example maprdb tables are not downloaded on MAPR-SASL cluster.
  • MHUE-158 Error when change timezone in oozie coordinator.
  • HUE-7712 Livy-batch not available in HUE 4.1.
  • MHUE-187 R session for R Editor in Hue cannot start.
  • MHUE-192 Error, when create Impala table via Table Browser.
  • MHUE-206 ERROR "Failed to extract json message" when try to export Hive query result to ADLS.
  • MHUE-209 Hue cannot create a table from *.csv file via importer from ADLS.
NOTE Hue uses python parquet lib to read parquet files. This library does not support all possible parquet formats.
  • LIVY-42: Livy UI is not accessible on Kerberos.
  • MHUE-302: Broken link to Table Browser in table description in left assistant panel.
  • MHUE-303: Integration of Table Browser with Drill is not supported.
    NOTE When the [notebook] section of the hue.ini contains a Drill entry that precedes the Hive entry, the Table Browser uses the Drill back end. This can be turned off by setting force_hs2_metadata=true in the [metastore] section of the hue.ini.

Resolved Issues

  • HUE-6074: [notebook] Execute snippets as Oozie batch.
