Enabling cache-control HTTP headers when using Hue

You can enable Hue to use HTTP headers such as Cache-Control, Pragma, and Expires to ensure that your broswer always uses the fresh version of the resource. You must set the value of the custom_cache_control property to true in Hue's Advanced Configuration Snippet.

  1. Log in to the CDP web interface as an Administrator.
  2. Go to Management Console > Environments, select your environment and go to the Data Lake tab.

    custom_cache_control=true
  5. Click Save Changes.
  6. Restart the Hue service.
