Hue Management Pack for Ambari.

Install Hue with Ambari using this management pack created by DFHz. The original Ambari 2.x Hue Service started by Kyle Joe was upgraded for HDP3 and Hue 4.x by DFHz before starting on this Hue Management Pack. You can see more info on the HDP3 repo: HDP3 Hue Service. Also see https://gethue.com for more information, versions, and official Hue documentation.

Usage Notes

• Your nodes need to be able to install all Hue Dependencies. Epel Repository is helpful here.
• Install time will be lengthy due to compile time for "make install" in the hue directory
• Minimal install requires HDFS, Yarn, & Zookeeper

Management Pack Installaion

• Example Install & Remove commands are:

ambari-server install-mpack --mpack=https://github.com/steven-matison/dfhz_hue_mpack/raw/master/hue_mpack-4.6.0-0.1.tar.gz --verbose
ambari-server restart
ambari-server uninstall-mpack --mpack-name=hue-ambari.mpack

Known Issues

• Additional configuration required post install to configure hue for hive,hbase,hdfs,rdbms, etc.
• Limited testing on multi node cluster
• Not tested SSL or Kerberos
• There could still be conflicts with config params specific to your cluster configuration
• Major Differences between Hue 3 and Hue 4

HDP 2.x Usage Notes

• No Known Issues

HDP 3.x Usage Notes

• There is a current bug in User Group Management for HDP 3.x. The work around is the following python command before installing Hue

python /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/scripts/configs.py -u admin -p admin -n [CLUSTER_NAME] -l [CLUSTER_FQDN] -t 8080 -a set -c cluster-env -k  ignore_groupsusers_create -v true

**** be sure to get the correct [CLUSTER_NAME] and [CLUSTER_FQDN] for command above
