Solr Indexer

In the past, indexing data into Solr has been quite difficult. The task involved writing a Solr schema and a morphlines file then submitting a job to YARN to do the indexing. Often times getting this correct for non trivial imports could take a few days of work. Now with Hue’s new feature you can start your YARN indexing job in minutes. This tutorial offers a step by step guide on how to do it.

Next!

Next iteration (Hue 3.12, estimated for end of 2016) will focus on SQL improvements, job monitoring and more Cloud integration.

Hue 4 design will get more real, with the goal of becoming the equivalent of “Gmail for queries for Big Data”. The current apps are being unified into thenew Editor and the whole Hue will become a single app in order to provide a much smoother and faster UX.

 

Onwards!

 

As usual thank you to all the project contributors and for sending feedback and participating on the hue-user list or @gethue!
