Access Cloudera Hue to Manage Hadoop Data and Resources

Hue runs in a browser and provides an easy-to-use interface to several applications to support interaction with Hadoop and HDFS. You can use Hue to perform any of the following tasks:

  • Query Hive data stores

  • Create, load, and delete Hive tables

  • Work with HDFS files and directories

  • Create, submit, and monitor MapReduce jobs

  • Monitor MapReduce jobs

  • Create, edit, and submit workflows using the Oozie dashboard

  • Manage users and groups

Hue is automatically installed and configured on Oracle Big Data Cloud Service clusters. Hue runs on port 8888 of the ResourceManager node (node03).

Note:

By default, port 8888 is blocked. To control access to that port, you must configure the network whitelist for the service. That configuration controls whether network requests from specified IP addresses (or ranges of addresses) will be accepted or denied at that port. See Control Network Access to Services.

To use Hue:

  1. Log in to Cloudera Manager and click the hue service on the Home page.

  2. On the hue page under Quick Links, click Hue Web UI.

  3. Bookmark the Hue URL, so that you can open Hue directly in your browser. The following URL is an example:

    https://bda1node03.example.com:8888
  4. Log in with your Hue credentials.

    If Hue accounts haven’t been created yet, you can log into the default Hue administrator account, by using the following credentials:

    • Username: admin

    • Password: cm-admin-password

    where cm-admin-password is the password that was specified when the cluster for the Cloudera Manager admin user was activated. You can then create other user and administrator accounts.
