Hue 3.11 how to enable new indexer when there is no such option in cloudera manager?

Hello Hue Team!
I want to try new indexer using Hue 3.11 on top of CDH-5.10(parcels).
The thing is that I can’t enable ‘enable_new_indexer=true’ in cloudera manager because there is no such option available:

I've tried to manually adjust configuration files but after each hue's restart CDH regenerates the configuration from a template and my changes are overwritten:

$ sudo find /var/run/cloudera-scm-agent -name ‘hue.ini’
/var/run/cloudera-scm-agent/process/116-hue-HUE_SERVER/hue.ini
/var/run/cloudera-scm-agent/process/115-hue-HUE_SERVER/hue.ini
/var/run/cloudera-scm-agent/process/114-hue-HUE_SERVER/hue.ini

Could you guide me how to enable it or where the template is located?

I've asked about it on gethue.com as well.

Thanks,

Piotr

New indexer is not officially supported yet in CDH.

You would need to add the config

in Hue safety valve in CM:

*Note:* To override a value in Cloudera Manager, you need to enter verbatim
each mini section from below into the Hue Safety Valve
:
Hue Service → Configuration → Service-Wide → Advanced → Hue Service
Advanced Configuration Snippet (Safety Valve) for hue_safety_valve.ini
