README.rst

Welcome to the repository for Hue
=================================

.. note::
This is the development-oriented readme. If you want to write notes for
end users, please put them in ``dist/README``.

Hue is both a web UI for Hadoop and a framework to create interactive web
applications. It features a FileBrowser for accessing HDFS, JobSub and
JobBrowser applications for submitting and viewing MapReduce jobs, a Beeswax
application for interacting with Hive. On top of that, the web frontend
is mostly built from declarative widgets that require no JavaScript and are
easy to learn.


File Layout
===========
The "core" stuff is in ``desktop/core/``, whereas installable apps live in
``apps/``. Please place third-party dependencies in the app's ext-py/
directory.

The typical directory structure for inside an application includes:

src/
for Python code

conf/
for configuration (``.ini``) files to be installed

static/
for static HTML and js resources

templates/
for data to be put through a template engine

docs/
for helpful notes

The python code is structured simply as
``module/package.py``,
where module may be "filebrowser" or "jobsub". Because it is unlikely that
there are going to be huge conflicts, we're going without a deep nested
hierarchy.


URL Layout
==========
``core/src/desktop/urls.py`` contains the current layout for top-level URLs.
For the URLs within your application, you should make your own ``urls.py``
which will be automatically rooted at ``/yourappname/`` in the global
namespace. See ``apps/hello/src/hello/urls.py`` for an example.


Development Prerequisites
===========================
1. On your host system, you need to have the python "virtualenv" package
installed.

2. Also, you'll need these library development packages installed on your
system:

Debian:
* gcc
* libmysqlclient-dev
* libsqlite3-dev
* libxml2-dev
* libxslt-dev
* python-dev
* python-setuptools

CentOS:
* gcc
* libxml2-devel
* libxslt-devel
* mysql
* mysql-devel
* python-devel
* python-setuptools
* python-simplejson (for the crepo tool)
* sqlite-devel

MacOS (mac port):
* liblxml
* libxml2
* libxslt
* mysql5-devel
* simplejson (easy_install)
* sqlite3

3. You need to have crepo installed, and preferably on your path. If it is not
on your path, set the environment variable ``CREPO`` to point to ``crepo.py``
from that distribution. You can clone crepo from
http://github.com/cloudera/crepo.git somewhere else on your system.


Getting Started
===============
To build and get the core server running::

$ export HADOOP_HOME=
$ git clone http://github.com/cloudera/hue.git
$ cd hue
$ make apps
$ build/env/bin/hue runserver_plus

To start the helper daemons::

$ build/env/bin/hue beeswax_server
$ build/env/bin/hue jobsubd

Now Hue should be running on http://localhost:8000.


Setting up Hadoop
=================
In order to start up a pseudodistributed cluster with the plugins enabled,
run::

$ ./tools/scripts/configure-hadoop.sh all

After doing so, running ``jps`` should show all the daemons running (NN, JT,
TT, DN) and you should be able to see the web UI on http://localhost:50030/ and
http://localhost:50070/.


FAQ
===
1: What does "Exception: no app!" mean?
Your template has an error in it. Check for messages from the server that
look like::

INFO:root:Processing exception: Unclosed tag 'if'. Looking for one of: else, endif

2: What do I do if I get "There was an error launching ..."?
Turn on debugging by issuing ``dbug.cookie()`` in a Firebug console.


Django Conventions
==================
If you need to name your urls
(http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/urls/#naming-url-patterns)
because there's ambiguity in the view, be sure to prefix the name
with the application name. The url name namespace is global. So
``jobsub.list`` is fine, but ``list`` is not.

Hue is using Django 1.1, which supports the notion of URL namespaces:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/urls/#url-namespaces.
We have yet to move over our URLs to this construct. Brownie points for the
developer who takes this on.


Using and Installing Thrift
===========================
Right now, we check in the generated thrift code.
To generate the code, you'll need the thrift binary.
Compile it like so::

$ git clone http://github.com/dreiss/thrift.git
$ cd thrift
$ ./bootstrap.sh
$ ./configure --with-py=no --with-java=no --with-perl=no --prefix=$HOME/pub

We exclude python, java, and perl because they don't like
to install in prefix. If you look around at configure's --help,
there are environment variables that determine where those
runtime bindings are installed.
::

$ make && make install

When preparing ``.thrift`` files, you can use she-bangs to generate
the python bindings like so::

#!/usr/bin/env thrift -r --gen py:new_style -o ../../../
