Resolved Issues
This release resolves the following issues:
- MHUE-480 - Configured to use Zookeeper connection type does not work for Drill
- MHUE-484 - Fix ssl_password_script.sh which breaks Hue on Ubuntu 18.04
- MHUE-477 - Fix Hue compatibility with Ubuntu 20.04
Known Issues and Limitations
- Hue 4.6 is not compatible with FIPS-enabled setup.
- HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric does not support the integration
between Hue 4.6.0 and the following components:
- Solr Search
- ZooKeeper
- MHUE-209 Hue cannot create a table from a
*.csvfile 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.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.
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.
