Enabling the ABFS File Browser for Hue in CDW with RAZ

The ABFS File Browser in Hue is enabled by default. However, you must set the path to your ADLS Gen2 container in the hue-safety-valve field to avoid a 403 error when you click on the ABFS File Browser.

  1. Sign in to Cloudera Data Warehouse DWAdmin or DWUser.
  2. Go to the Virtual Warehouse from which you want to access the ADLS Gen2 containers and click .
  3. Go to CONFIGURATIONS > Hue and select hue-safety-valve from the Configuration files drop-down menu.
  4. Add the path to your ADLS Gen2 container under the [filebrowser] section as follows:
    [filebrowser]
    remote_storage_home==abfs://[***CONTAINER-FOR-DATA-ACCESS***]/user
    (Optional) Per-user home directories are created by default. To disable automatic user directory creation, you can add the following lines in the hue-safety-valve as follows:
    [desktop]
    [[raz]]
    autocreate_user_dir=false
  5. Click APPLY.
    You should be able to view the icon for the ABFS File Browser on the left assist panel on the Hue web interface.
