Hi everybody,
the Analytics team has packaged a new version of Hue (basically the latest
upstream), 4.7.1, available for testing in
https://hue-next.wikimedia.org
Several improvements:
- Python 3 support
- CAS SSO support
- User auto-creation upon first login (no more sync from LDAP etc..)
Current problems:
- We had to follow up with several patches to upstream (
https://github.com/cloudera/hue) due to py2->py3 porting issues, plus also
JS ones.
- The UI look and feel is very different from what we are used to, and some
viz bugs are still present (see
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T264896)
The plan is to move
hue.wikimedia.org to the new version as soon as
possible, and then fix bugs that are outstanding as we go. With this
upgrade we don't want to state that Hue will be supported forever (on the
contrary, we'd still love to deprecate it), but for the time being (namely
until we find a replacement for Oozie for example) Hue will remain
supported.
Any feedback about bugs etc.. would be really appreciated in
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T264896. Also let us know what you think
about the new version (if you use Hue often).
Thanks in advance,
Luca
