Hi Big Data Munchers,

 

The Hue Team is glad to release Hue 3.8 and its improved Oozie Editor and better performances!

A tarball is available as well as documentation and release notes. This release is a big step forwards and comes with more than 1000 commits!

Conferences

It was a pleasure to present at Lucene Solr Revolution in Washington DC and Big Data Spain in Madrid.

 

Next!

 

Next release (3.9) will mostly focus on Spark & Search and bring general improvements/feature completeness in all the apps.

 

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!!
