Next release (3.9) will mostly focus on Spark & Search and bring general improvements/feature completeness in [all the apps][39].
In parallel, the design & development of Hue 4 is kicking in with the goal of becoming the equivalent of “Excel for Big Data”. A fresh new look, a unification of all the apps, wizards for ingesting data... will let you use the full platform in a single UI for fast Big Data querying and prototyping!
Onwards!!
