Hue OperationalError: no such column: search_collection.owner_id error

snamsi — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:58:45 GMT

Hi,

After upgrading from cdh 5.3.3 to cdh 5.4 using parcels, I couldn't access Hue web ui. I'm getting this error:

OperationalError: no such column: search_collection.owner_id

This is not the first time I do an upgrade using parcels, all the previous upgrade were successfull, but this time I don't know what I did wrong.

Thanks

The solution was replacing /var/lib/hue/desktop.db by /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-5.4.0-1.cdh5.4.0.p0.27/lib/hue/desktop/desktop.db
