HUE upgrade

[#1]

I am running HUE 2.6 on HDP 2.3. Need to upgrade HUE to 3.8. Where can I find the instructions. How to perform in-place upgrade.

Hi Prakash,

Hue 3.8 is not supported on HDP platforms but you can install it. To upgrade you should just follow the normal upgrade instructions (Hortonworks do not have these as I said earlier - this is not supported) however please ensure you backup the Hue database first.

Thanks

Dave
