I installed HDP2.2 using ambari 1.7 and manually installed and configuredd hue as instructed on this page.
http://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HDP2/HDP-2.2.0/HDP_Man_Install_v22/index.html#Item1.14
The hue is up and running, but I noticed several degradation from previous version. (I was using HDp2.1 and hue 2.3)
The Hive editor (beeswax) log is not working well. In a lot of cases, the command execution doesn’t show logs at all, like the create table (and other ddl). For example,when I create a table from a query, during the execution the log tab is blank while the query is running.
I did some preliminary search on google, it seems this version of hue is connecting to hive server2, while hiveserver2 didn’t provide a getLog api .
I also see some posts saying one can manually complile&build a latest hue 3.7 version and installed it against HDP2.2, but I am not sure whether that will solve my problem.
Below is the component version displayed on my hue home page.
