Hive Configure Hue as a proxy user

Question

I want Hue to be able to submit a request on behalf of other users and for this I want to set Hue as a Proxy user. How can I do this?

Answer 1

On your node, go to the hadoop properties directory and open then file named core-site.xml. Then add the below lines in that file:

<!-- Hue WebHDFS proxy user setting -->
<property>
  <name>hadoop.proxyuser.hue.hosts</name>
  <value>*</value>
</property>
<property>
  <name>hadoop.proxyuser.hue.groups</name>
  <value>*</value>
</property>

That's it.
