Hi Big Data Surfers,
The Hue Team is glad to release Hue 3.7 and its new Sentry App and improved Search App!
A tarball is available as well as documentation and release notes. Packages will be released during Hadoop World next week. Despite shipping a brand new app, this release is particularly feature-packed. This might be due to all the good feedback and requests that we are receiving (and maybe an additional amazing team retreat).
Here is a list of the main improvements:
Security
- New Sentry App
- Bulk edit roles and privileges
- Visualize/edit roles and privileges on a database tree
- WITH GRANT OPTION support
- Impersonate a user to see which databases and table he can see

Search
- Three new widgets
- Heatmap
- Tree
- Marker Map
- Field Analysis
- Exclude Facets
- More details here…
Oozie

- More details here…
Job Browser
Kill application button for YARN
File Browser

HBase
Kerberos support. Next step will be impersonation!
Indexer
Pickup the configured Zookeeper and give a hint if pointing to the wrong Solr. Useful for installing examples in one click.
Hive / Impala
- LDAP passthrough
- SSL encryption with HiveServer2
- New graphs
- Automatic query timeout
SDK
We are also trying to make the Hue project easier to develop:
- Code reviews
- Run tests
- Ubuntu 14.04 support
- Configure with any Hadoop
What’s next?
Next planned features will bring a new and elegant Oozie Workflow Editor, faster performances and High Availability (HA), a surprise app, a simpler Spark App, more integration with Sentry and Search, and tons of polishing and ironing.
As usual, feel free to comment and send feedback on the hue-user list or @gethue!
