New in This Release
- The Hue package no longer includes the Simba Drill JDBC driver and instead includes the Drill JDBC driver from the mapr-drill-internal package (MHUE-383). To connect to Drill using the Drill JDBC Interpreter you need to have the mapr-drill-internal package installed on the node with the Hue server.
- The Drill ODBC interpreter is optionally available in Hue through the SQLAlchemy interface. It requires the Simba Drill ODBC drivers installed on the system and available only on RedHat/CentOS (MHUE-327).
- Environment configuration files for Hue server should now be configured in the
${HUE_HOME}/desktop/conf/env.ddirectory instead of${HUE_HOME}/bin/env.d. - Hue now has the following HTTP security headers configured by default
(MAPR-CORE-307):
- X-Content-Type-Options
- X-XSS-Protection
- Strict-Transport-Security
- Content-Security-Policy
- TLSv1 and TLSv1.1 were disabled (MHUE-328)
- In kerberized environments, the Hue kt_renewer process is started
automatically with Hue server (MHUE-387).NOTE In Hue 4.3.0-1912, support for the integration of Drill with the Table Browser in Hue was added as an experimental feature.

Known Issues and Limitations
- MapR does not support the integration between Hue 4.6.0 and the following
components:
- Solr Search
- ZooKeeper
- Integration between Hue 4.6.0 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.
- 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.
- When the
[notebook]section of thehue.inicontains a Drill entry that precedes the Hive entry, the Table Browser uses the Drill back end. This can be turned off by changing theforce_hs2_metadata=truesetting in the[metastore]section of thehue.inifile.
