points to the new backend, but for some reason the
users are not recognized (so nobody can log in). Still unsure about what's
happening, everything worked fine up before the migration, I'll update the
list when I find a solution.
For the moment hue is not available, apologies!

Hi everybody,
we are going to make
hue-next.wikimedia.org (freshly updated to 4.9,
latest upstream) the new
hue.wikimedia.org. This will mean that:
1) We'll finally remove the last dependency for the Cloudera CDH packages
that we still have on our APT repositories (not good after
https://www.cloudera.com/downloads/paywall-expansion.html). The
hue.wikimedia.org's backend is still running a very old version of Hue
with Python 2..
2) We'll move Hue's user management to be fully automated via CAS, so no
more requests to the Analytics team to create a new user etc.. Every new
user should be able to use Hue straight away without any extra ping (beside
the usual ones for wmf/nda LDAP membership of course).
The main downside is that there are some bugs (github issues already
opened to upstream) that may cause some bad UX experience, see
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T264896. Due to 1) we'll need to
proceed asap, but if anybody is interested in following up on those github
issues feel free to :)
If nobody opposes I'll make the switch tomorrow Apr 15th during the EU
morning (there will be a little downtime but hopefully limited to one hour).
For any questions or follow up, please ping me on IRC or add a note in
the aforementioned task!
