Enabling cache-control HTTP headers when using Hue

You can enable Hue to use HTTP headers such as Cache-Control, Pragma, and Expires to ensure that your broswer always uses the fresh version of the resource. You must set the value of the custom_cache_control property to true in Hue's Advanced Configuration Snippet.

  1. Log in to Cloudera Manager as an Administrator.
  2. Go to Clusters > Hue > Configuration and add the following line in the Hue Service Advanced Configuration Snippet (Safety Valve) for hue_safety_valve.ini field:
    [desktop]
    custom_cache_control=true
  3. Click Save Changes.
  4. Restart the Hue service.
