Configure Hue to use Drill on a MapR-SASL-Secured Cluster

You can configure Hue to use Drill on a MapR-SASL cluster.

Procedure

  1. Configure Hue to use Drill:
    1. In the hue.ini, go to the Drill section, and set the parameters. For example:
      [librdbms]
        [[databases]]
          ...
          [[[drill]]]
      
          # Name to show in the UI.
          nice_name="Drill"
      
          # Database backend to use.
          engine=drill
      
          # Connection type. This can be:
          # 1. direct
          # 2. zookeeper
          connection_type=direct
      
          # Drillbit address for direct connection.
          drillbits=<node>:31010
      
          # Security mechanism of authentication none/GSSAPI/MAPR-SECURITY.
          mechanism=MAPR-SECURITY
      
          # Available options:
          # "impersonation" to enable or disable outbound impersonation.
          # "principal" of Drill service. Used when Kerberos authentication is enabled.
          options='{"impersonation": true, "principal": "mapr/<node>@REALM"}'                             
  2. Restart Hue to apply the updated configuration:
    maprcli node services -name hue -action restart -nodes <node>
