Hue 3.11 with HDP 2.5

Struggling with delivery, architecture alignment, or platform stability?

I help teams fix systemic engineering issues: processes, architecture, and clarity.
→ See how I work with teams.


Works fine with CentOS / RHEL, I used 6.8 in that case. Epel has to be available, if not, install the repo.
And I ask me why Hortonworks didn't integrated Hue v3 in their HDP release - I mean, Hue v2 is older as old and lacks dramatically on functionality.
Anyhow, lets get to work.

sudo wget http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/dchen/apache-maven/epel-apache-maven.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/epel-apache-maven.repo

sudo yum install ant gcc krb5-devel mysql mysql-devel openssl-devel cyrus-sasl-devel cyrus-sasl-gssapi sqlite-devel libtidy libxml2-devel libxslt-devel openldap-devel python-devel python-simplejson python-setuptools rsync gcc-c++ saslwrapper-devel libffi-devel gmp-devel apache-maven

sudo mkdir /software; sudo chown hue: /software && cd /software
wget https://github.com/cloudera/hue/archive/master.zip -O hue.zip && unzip hue.zip; cd hue-master; sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/hue && chown -R hue: /usr/local/hue && make install

HDP config changes:

Oozie => Custom oozie-site
oozie.service.ProxyUserService.proxyuser.hue.groups *
oozie.service.ProxyUserService.proxyuser.hue.hosts *

Hive => Custom webhcat-site
webhcat.proxyuser.hue.host *
webhcat.proxyuser.hue.groups *

HDFS => Custom core-site
hadoop.proxyuser.hue.hosts *
hadoop.proxyuser.hue.groups *

At the end, hue.ini needs to be configured to fit the installation, here's an example - I use 8899 as HueUI port:

http_port=8899
app_blacklist=impala,security
hive_server_host=hue3.azure.intern
hbase_clusters=(Cluster|hue3.azure.intern:9090)
solr_url=http://hue3.azure.intern:8983/solr/

At least a new security rule for port 8899 has to be created, as well as the hbase thrift service has to be started per:
nohup hbase thrift start &

Configure Hue:
/usr/local/hue/build/env/bin/hue syncdb
/usr/local/hue/build/env/bin/hue migrate

Start Hue:
/usr/local/hue/build/env/bin/supervisor -d

Login per http://your_hue3_host:8899

I strongly recommend to use MySQL as an backend DB, but for first test the integrated SQLite instance is fine, too.

Building a Model-Agnostic Multi-Agent System with OpenClaw

By
Over one week we rebuilt our AI stack around OpenClaw’s multi-agent architecture to avoid provider lock-in and stop wasting premium tokens. By aligning models to tasks, diversifying fallbacks across providers, enforcing minimal tool access, and switching to memory-first workflows with ephemeral sessions, we reduced token usage per task by about 70% and cut our monthly bill by 77% while improving operational resilience. How We Achieved 77% Cost Reduction and Provider Independence Over the past week, we rebuilt our AI infrastructure around OpenClaw’s multi-agent architecture. The result was a 77% cost reduction , provider independence , and a delegation system that routes work to the most cost-effective model for each job. Below is the technical journey of optimizing a 7-agent squad with OpenClaw. The Challenge: Model Provider Lock-In We started with a simple problem: our entire squad defaulted to a single model provider. This created three issues: Cost inefficiency beca...

BacNet => MQTT in Production: The Real Cost of Bridging BACnet to MQTT at Scale

By
bacnet2mqtt looks simple in a README and expensive in production. Once BACnet polling, reconnection behavior, stale state, and MQTT publishing collide, teams discover they are not deploying a lightweight adapter but operating infrastructure. This article breaks down where bacnet2mqtt works, where it becomes a bottleneck, and which production patterns reduce the operational damage before incidents, backlogs, and silent data loss turn a building integration into a long-running engineering problem. I inherited a building controls integration problem 18 months ago. Three office floors. 217 BACnet sensors covering temperature, occupancy, and HVAC actuators. The data was trapped inside the building automation network while the business wanted analytics, reporting, and compliance visibility in the data platform. The obvious answer looked easy enough: deploy bacnet2mqtt, bridge BACnet into MQTT, and push the stream into the lakehouse stack. The repository made it sound like a w...

Get Apache Flume 1.3.x running on Windows

By Anonymous
Since we found an increasing interest in the flume community to get Apache Flume running on Windows systems again, I spent some time to figure out how we can reach that. Finally, the good news - Apache Flume runs on Windows. You need some tweaks to get them running. Prerequisites Build system: maven 3x, git, jdk1.6.x, WinRAR (or similar program) Apache Flume agent: jdk1.6.x, WinRAR (or similar program), Ultraedit++ or similar texteditor Tweak the Windows build box 1. Download and install JDK 1.6x from Oracle 2. Set the environment variables    => Start - type " env " into the search box, select " E dit system environment variables ", click Environment Variables, Select " New " from the " Systems variables " box, type " JAVA_HOME " into " variable name " and the path to your JDK installation into "Variable value" (Example:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_33 ) 3. Download maven from Apache 4. Set...
