Hue 3.8.1 throws an error when running SQL against Howrtonworks 2.2.4

MC — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:56:51 GMT

When running SQL statements through Hue against one of our Hadoop clusters running Hortonworks 2.2.4.2-2, we keep getting the following error:

Fetching results ran into the following error(s):

Couldn't find log associated with operation handle: OperationHandle [opType=EXECUTE_STATEMENT, getHandleIdentifier()=40fad20f-8413-4bd1-b6c8-9f0e858e3262]

The query log shows the following:

Bad status for request TFetchResultsReq(fetchType=1, operationHandle=TOperationHandle(hasResultSet=True, modifiedRowCount=None,
operationType=0, operationId=THandleIdentifier(secret='\xdf\xb6\xb0\xdeM\xdfH~\x88bu]w\x96Q\xae', guid='@\xfa\xd2\x0f\x84\x13K\xd1\xb6\xc8\x9f\x0e\x85\x8e2b')),

It's interesting to notice that the same SELECT statements run fine when the tables are browsed using the Metastore Manager. I also want to point out that our cluster is using transport mode for Hive set to HTTP (instead of BINARY). That was one of the resons why we switched from Hue 3.7.1 to 3.8.1 as we found some info that stated support for HTTP transport mode was not available at 3.7.1.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Solved. According to this link, the temporary workaround is to specify use_get_log_api=true in the beeswax section of the hue.ini configuration file. The “Server does not support GetLog()” error will still show, but the SQL statement will be executed.

Set use_get_log_api=true in the beeswax section of the hue.ini configuration file.

After change the hue.ini file run below commands to restart the hive server, I will not work otherwise.

sudo service hive-server2 stop
sudo service hue stop
sudo service hive-server2 start
sudo service hue start
