Hi, Here is my stand. Hive provides a dsl to easily explore data contained in hadoop with limited experience with java and MapReduce. And Hive Web Interface provides an easy exposition : users need only a browser and the hadoop cluster can be well 'fire-walled' because the communication is only through http.
I saw the work of HIVE-2910. Of course, it could still be improved. But it was needed and it is a great first step. I don't see it as a minor improvement. That is a great way for promoting the HWI. As such, I think it is a shame the patch was only applied for the 0.10 version and not for the 0.9.1. Is there any reason for that? Is there any change that it could be added to the 0.9.0? Do you have any estimate for the release date of the 0.9.1 version? Of course, there is at least an alternative : Beeswax within Hue but CDH is a big dependency that can not just be added because the end user requires a decent interface. Thanks in advance for all feedback Bertrand
