FAQ for shared Hue service

A collection of frequently asked questions about deploying a shared Hue service.

Can I still use Hue, which is deployed at the Virtual Warehouse level?

Yes, you can continue to access and use Hue from a particular Virtual Warehouse even after deploying the shared Hue service at the environment level.

Can I create more than one shared Hue service instance?

Yes, you can create any number of shared Hue service instances. However, Cloudera recommends deploying a single Hue instance unless isolating saved queries is a requirement. When you create multiple shared Hue instances, each instance has its own database. The shared Hue service instances do not share query history or saved queries.

Can I view queries submitted from other BI tools?

Hue superusers and administrators can view all queries submitted from all Virtual Warehouses linked to a Database Catalog. Other logged-in users can view only their queries on the Impala Queries and Hive Queries tabs.

Where can I specify advanced Hue configurations (safety valve) for the shared Hue instance?

On the Shared Hue Service page, click the more options icon > Edit corresponding to the Hue instance that you want to configure, go to the CONFIGURATIONS tab, and select hue-safety-valve from the Configuration files drop-down menu.
