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.
- Hue uses python parquet lib to read parquet files. This library does not support all possible parquet formats.
- When the
[notebook]
section of thehue.ini
contains 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=true
setting in the[metastore]
section of thehue.ini
file.
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.
