HMS analytics for workload clusters migrating from HDP

If your workload cluster was migrated from HDP and the Hue service is not installed, Hue may be missing from the granted permissions in Ranger. To enable HMS analytics, ensure the Hue user has sufficient permissions.

The absence of HMS Analytics in the UI occurs because the Telemetry Publisher uses the hue user for all non-HDFS operations, such as HMS client connections. You can verify this in the Telemetry Publisher configurations under Telemetry Kerberos Principal (default is hue). However, for clusters migrated from HDP where Hue was never installed, the hue user was not configured in Ranger. As a result, the HMS client connection returns zero databases because the hue user lacks access permissions to the databases in Ranger.

If your cluster is secured using Ranger, ensure that appropriate permissions are granted to users through the Ranger web interface. Without the necessary permissions, users may be unable to access specific databases or tables from the Hue editor.
