Using Hue

Available in Classic

Hue is a component available on the Core Hadoop, Spark, and Presto cluster types.
This guide explains the features of Hue on a Cloud Hadoop cluster and how to use the Hive editor and Hue browser in Hue.

Hue components

Hue (Hadoop User Experience) is a web-based user interface that works with Apache Hadoop clusters.
Bundled with other Hadoop ecosystems, Hue can be used to run Hive tasks and Spark jobs.

Hue on Cloud Hadoop clusters supports the following components:

• Browser

  • Document: View workflows, queries, and script files saved in Hue.
  • File: View files saved in HDFS.
  • S3: View files saved in the object storage bucket.
  • Table: View tables saved in the Hive warehouse.
  • Job: View the status and logs of executed Oozie Jobs.

• Editor

  • Hive: Run Hive queries.
  • Scala, PySpark: Run interactive commands like spark-shell.
  • Spark Submit Jar, Spark: Enables each jar and py file to be submitted as a Spark Job.
  • Java: Run jars through Oozie workflows.
  • Distcp: Run Distcp tasks through Oozie workflows.
  • Shell: Run .sh files through Oozie workflows.
  • MapReduce: Run the MapReduce application through Oozie workflows.

• Scheduler

  • Workflow: Create Oozie workflows.
  • Reserve: Schedule created workflows.

Access Hue

Hue is installed on the Core Hadoop, Spark, and Presto types, and can be accessed in the following 2 ways:

• Connect via the console's web UI list
• Connect using a domain

Connect via the console's web UI list

You can access the Hue Web UI through View by application on the Cloud Hadoop console. For more information, see View by application

Connect using a domain

To access the Hue Web UI using a domain:

1. From the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to Services > Big Data & Analytics > Cloud Hadoop.
2. Click on the cluster item you want to check and confirm the public domain address in the details interface displayed.
   
3. In your web browser's address bar, enter the public domain address and port number as follows to access the Hue web page:

   http://{Public domain}:8000
   

4. Once the login page is displayed in the browser, enter the admin account and password set upon cluster creation to log in.
   • Resetting the cluster administrator account from the console will not reset Hue account information. You must change your password on the Hue web page.

Run Hive query

To run a Hive query:

1. Click on the [Query], then click Editor > Hive (Hive UI) to launch the editor.
2. In the editing window, select the database on which you want to run the query from the list.
3. Enter the query in the Query Editor window, then click [Run].
   • You can view the results of the query you ran in the Results tab.
   • You can check the list of queries you have run in the Query history tab.
