Enabling the S3 File Browser for Cloudera Data Explorer (Hue) in Cloudera Data Warehouse with RAZ

The S3 File Browser in Data Explorer is enabled by default. However, you must set the path to your S3 directory in the hue-safety-valve field to avoid a 403 error when you click on the S3 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 S3 buckets and click .
  3. Go to CONFIGURATIONS > Data Explorer (Hue) and select hue-safety-valve from the Configuration files drop-down menu.
  4. Add the path to your S3 bucket under the [filebrowser] section as follows:
    [filebrowser]
    remote_storage_home=s3a://[***S3-BUCKET-NAME***]/user
    (Optional) If you prefer to disable the new storage connector, you must set use_storage_connectors to false as follow:
    [desktop]
    use_storage_connector= true
    [[raz]]
    is_enabled=true
    api_url=[***fs.s3a.ext.raz.rest.host.url***]
    [aws]
    has_iam_detection=false
    [[aws_accounts]]
    [[[default]]]
    region=[***AWS-REGION***]
    host=s3.[***AWS-REGION***].amazonaws.com
    allow_environment_credentials=false
    [filebrowser]
    remote_storage_home=s3a://[***S3-BUCKET-NAME***]/user
    
  5. Click APPLY.
    You should be able to view the icon for the S3 File Browser on the left assist panel on the Data Explorer web interface.
