Hey Edward, The UI mentioned in those slides leverages many internal display libraries from Facebook. If you wanted to make a UI that leverages the metastore's thrift interface but only uses open source display libraries, I think it would definitely be appreciated by Hive users.
Thanks, Jeff ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Edward Capriolo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Fri, Oct 10, 2008 at 10:13 AM Subject: Hive Web-UI To: core-user@hadoop.apache.org I was checking out this slide show. http://www.slideshare.net/jhammerb/2008-ur-tech-talk-zshao-presentation/ in the diagram a Web-UI exists. This was the first I have heard of this. Is this part of or planned to be a part of contrib/hive? I think a web interface for showing table schema and executing jobs would be very interesting. Is anyone working on something like this? If not, I have a few ideas.
