Oozie decision node support

dna_29a — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:57:50 GMT

Hi all!
I want to use decision nodes in HUE workflows, is it possible? I can't find appropriate button in editor.. (CDH 5.3.6, HUE 3.7.0)

In cloudera archives I'd seen some mentions about it and also seen bug-fixes, etc. Maybe it's obsolete feature?

Found!

You need to drop some action task to an other and HUE creates fork node. Then clicks "edit" button and "convert to decision".

Hi dna_29a,

After "convert to decision", I see "${1 gt 0}" and ''${1 gt 1}'', do you know the meaning of those?

Thanks,

Joey

I think it is a defaults for decision conditions. Substitute your variables in this expression.

How do I create those variables? The help documentation says they are in JSP EL, but I'm unsure how to write in that. How would I make one that returns true if it's the 1st of the month, for example?
