[Hue 2.3][2] comes only two months after [2.2][3] but contains more than 100 improvements and fixes. In particular, two new apps were added (including an Apache Pig editor) and the query editors are now easier to use. Here’s a video demoing the major changes: Here’s the new features list: * Pig Editor: new application for editing and running [Apache Pig][4] scripts with UDFs and parameters * Table Browser: new application for managing [Apache Hive][5] databases, viewing table schemas and sample of content * [Apache Oozie][6] Bundles are now supported * SQL highlighting and auto-completion for Hive/Impala apps * Multi-query and highlight/run a portion of a query * Job Designer was totally restyled and now supports all Oozie actions * Oracle databases (11.2 and later) are now supported We would like to thank everybody who worked on this release. New features and [feedback][7] are continuously being integrated!
