Prerequisites for accessing Hue tables and databases

Hue is a part of the CDW service. Before you can access Hue from Data Catalog, you must set up the CDW service.

You must have the DWAdmin role to perform these tasks.

  1. An AWS or Azure environment in CDW that has been activated and registered in the CDP Management Console.
    Activating an AWS or Azure environment in CDW enables the CDW service to use the existing Data Lakes that are present in the CDP environment. This also creates a default Database Catalog that is used by a Virtual Warehouse.

    For more information, see Activating AWS environments or Activating Azure environments. Currently, CDW only supports AWS and Azure Cloud environments

  2. A Hive or an Impala Virtual Warehouse created using CDW. Depending on your data set type, create a Hive or an Impala Virtual Warehouse using CDW.
    For more information, see Adding a new Virtual Warehouse.
  3. Select the asset type in the Data Catalog UI.

    The asset type must be either hive_table or hive_db.

    After these conditions are met, Hue links for the selected assets are displayed in the Data Catalog UI.
