What a Great Year for Hue Users! by Eva Andreasson.
From the post:
With the recent release of CDH 4.3, which contains Hue 2.3, I’d like to report on the fantastic progress of Hue in the past year.
For those who are unfamiliar with it, Hue is a very popular, end-user focused, fully open source Web UI designed for interaction with Apache Hadoop and its ecosystem components. Founded by Cloudera employees, Hue has been around for quite some time, but only in the last 12 months has it evolved into the great ramp-up and interaction tool it is today. It’s fair to say that Hue is the most popular open source GUI for the Hadoop ecosystem among beginners — as well as a valuable tool for seasoned Hadoop users (and users generally in an enterprise environment) – and it is the only end-user tool that ships with Hadoop distributions today. In fact, Hue is even redistributed and marketed as part of other user-experience and ramp-up-on-Hadoop VMs in the market.
We have reached where we are today – 1,000+ commits later – thanks to the talented Cloudera Hue team (special kudos needed to Romain, Enrico, and Abe) and our customers and users in the community. Therefore it is time to celebrate with a classy new logo and community website at gethue.com!
See Eva’s post for her reflections but I have to say, I do like the new logo:
If Hue has the capability to document the semantics of structures or data, I have overlooked it.
Seems like a golden area for a topic map contribution.
Hue is a “view” on top of Hadoop which provides a nice UI for avoiding the command line and improving the accessibility and productivity of Hadoop.
In your case, it might be too generic but Hue can be seen as a tool for making Hadoop easier to use in your research.
