Using Hue with Cloudera Search

Hue includes a Search application that provides a customizable search UI. When using Hue with Cloudera Search, involves importing collections. After you have imported collections, you can work with the Hue user interface to work with these collections.

Importing Collections

The following screenshot is an example of the collection import feature within Hue.



Generally, only collections should be imported. Importing cores is rarely useful since it enables querying a shard of the index. See A little about SolrCores and Collections for more information.
