How to run Python script in Hue through oozie

ebeb — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:45:27 GMT

Hi, can someone give me a few basic steps on how to go about running a simple python script in Hue using Oozie such as reading a hive table and write the data to a csv file. Some steps like where I enter the python code and how to run it through HUE interface to help me get started. An example python script will also be very helpful. Thanks.

The following link:

from Hue website is about how to setup script shell in Hue Oozie interface. Python script will be similar. I suggest you go through the documentation on Hue for more detailed info.

The solution was to put the python script in Hue->Query->Editor->Spark in the Libs field with the full path of the python script example: Libs: /user/userxyz/myscript.py and run the query. Clicking the job_xxxxx link will show if the script ran successfully or not.
