Using Amazon S3 with Hue

Hue can read to and write to an Amazon S3 bucket.

note

You can use the S3 browser to store and retrieve data from Amazon S3 buckets into Hue and vice versa. If your CDP cluster is secured using Knox, then the Hue users will be able to access the S3 folders as per the access rules set on the individual folders. The access permissions are governed by IDBroker.

Only Hue superusers can view and access the S3 browser.

Enabling S3 browser for Hue configured with IDBroker
You can access the S3 buckets from Hue to upload files and tables to S3 and import CSV files as tables directly in Hue by enabling the S3 browser on the Hue user interface.
Enabling S3 browser for Hue configured without IDBroker
You can access the S3 buckets from Hue to upload files and tables to S3 and import CSV files as tables directly in Hue by enabling the S3 browser. You must specify the AWS access key and secret access key information along with the AWS region in the Hue Server Advanced Configuration Snippet if you have not set up authentication using Knox IDBroker.
