Fixed Issues in Hue

Review the list of Hue issues that are resolved in Cloudera Runtime 7.1.7 SP2.

CDPD-14904: Hue audit logs are no longer being collected

Cloudera Navigator service was decommissioned in CDP, and you could no longer obtain Hue audit logs. This issue has been fixed. You can now collect the Hue audit logs from the /var/log/hue/audit.log file.

OPSAPS-65913: False stale configuration alerts in Cloudera Manager when Hue uses multiple HS2 instances

If you had added more than one HiveServer 2 (HS2) roles in your Hue service without configuring a load balancer, then the hue.ini configuration file was generated inappropriately, leading to false stale-configuration alerts in Cloudera Manager. This issue has been fixed.

CDPD-30285: Unable to view all tables in the left assist pane in Hue

If you had more than 5000 tables in a database, then the Hue web interface did not display all the tables in the left assist panel. This issue has been resolved by introducing a new property called MAX_CATALOG_SQL_ENTRIES. You can configure this property to increase the number of objects (including databases, tables, and columns) displayed in the left assist panel, auto-complete drop-down list, and on the Hue Table Browser page. The default value of this property is 5000. For more information, see Configuring the number of objects displayed in Hue

CDPD-41658: Unable to submit Oozie workflow from HDFS file browser

This issue has been fixed.

OPSAPS-64325: Hue Load Balancer issues

Earlier, the users were routed to a new Hue server only after they logged out. This resulted in less than optimal utilization of the newly added Hue servers. This issue has been resolved by adding a new configuration called Hue Load Balancer Cookie Refresh in Cloudera Manager. When you select this option, the Hue Load Balancer is configured to generate a new ROUTEID cookie value when you restart the Hue Load Balancer instance. This enables the Load Balancer to redistribute users across the Hue servers upon restart. For more information, see Configuring high availability for Hue.

CDPD-18959: Downloading Impala query results containing special characters in CSV format fails with ASCII codec error

This issue has been fixed.

CDPD-17465: LDAPTest fails with whoami_s

Earlier, LDAPTest potentially failed when the extended operation “whoami_s” was not available. This issue has been resolved.
