Newbie question: How to get to HDP tool bar?

fkoconis — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:55:16 GMT

This is an extreme "newbie" question, but I am trying to do the HCatalog / Hive / Pig tutorial

http://hortonworks.com/hadoop-tutorial/how-to-use-hcatalog-basic-pig-hive-commands/

and I can't figure out how to get to the HDP toolbar! I can browse HDFS fine (using http:<ip_addr>:50070/explorer.html#/) but I don't see the toolbar there.

Thanks!

I think you are looking for Hue web UI. Once sandbox VM is started open the below in your browser (user/pass is hue/1111)

http://<ipaddress>:8000

Ambair Webui is available at below address (user/pass is admin/admin)

http://<ipaddress>:8080

You may also look at using Ambari Views (example is in the 2.3.2 sandbox). There are views for both Pig and Hive.

Hi there! There is currently an updated version of this tutorial which does not use the HUE web UI, but rather the Ambari UI instead. You can find the tutorial here: https://github.com/ZacBlanco/hwx-tutorials/blob/master/2-3/tutorials/hcatalog-basic-pig-and-hive-commands/hcatalog-basic-pig-and-hive-commands.md

I would love to hear any feedback. The new version should be posted soon!

Thanks- this is exactly what I needed.

I had worked with Hive before on other Hadoop implementations, but only from the command prompt.
