Hi Big Data Explorers,
The Hue Team is glad to thanks all the contributors and release Hue 4.1! [
][1]
The focus of this release was to keep making progress on the modernization and simplification of the [Hue 4 UI][2] without introducing any major feature. The SQL editor is smarter and the ground for better speed and visualizations was prepared (coming in the next release). This release is more of a "quality/transition" with 900 commits and 250+ bug fixes! Go grab the tarball and give it a spin!
Variables can now have default values
# Query optimization recommendations
[Risk alerts and popular values][5] improvements: suggestions on how to fix the alerts
Auto upload of DDL
Speed, more obvious, top right

# Universal Search
Top search UX
Simplification, follow-up on [Search and Tagging][6]
Listing of Hue documents is enriched with Tables data via Navigator
# Sentry HA
Support for out of the box support of Apache Sentry HA
Sentry is used in:
* [Sentry / Security App][7] (SQL, Solr)
* Applying Table privileges in Navigator searches and NavOpt popular values
* Future showing of DROP/CREATE actions availability in UI
# Mutual Authentication
Kerberos related HUE-7127
When calls from different Threads to services on the same hosts
# Solr Collection Browser
UI/UX revamp
Integrated with [Importer Wizard][8]
Preparing scalable Morphline indexer integration
[
][9]
# Interface
Home can be set as starred app
Easier sharing directly via the Editor or Dashboard
Onwards!
