Known limitations in Hue

Review the known limitations in Hue.

Hue has the following limitations:
  • Node depth for graphing Oozie workflows because of performance issues. See Improved Oozie Workflow display of large Graphs.
  • You must use the Cloudera-provided Apache Load balancer to serve static content, because:
    • It serves static JavaScript, CSS, and Webpack files for client requests and reduces the load from the backend Python web server.
    • The Hue load balancer uses a sticky cookie session to route requests to the same backend as the Python web server, which talks to the same coordinator.
  • Hue can only show logs from either Spark1 or Spark2, not both at a time.
  • Spark notebook is not supported.
  • External RDBMS in the query editor is not supported out of the box by default. Cloudera support will assist on a best-effort basis. Cloudera recommends that you raise issues in the open-source github community.
  • Impala queries stay in the “executing” state so that Hue can display results when users are ready
  • We need to limit the amount of data available to download from Hive/Impala because massive downloads cause performance degradation. Multiple simultaneous downloads of result sets could also degrade performance.
  • Upstream features and connectors may not function properly in CDP. Cloudera recommends that you raise issues in the open-source github community.
