Hue installation HDP 2.4 and RHEL7

[#1]

HDP 2.4 installed using Ambari 2.2.2.0.

I followed the steps in the documentation, however I have hit the follow error :

[root@l4377t ~]# cd /usr/lib/hue
[root@l4377t hue]#
[root@l4377t hue]#
[root@l4377t hue]# source build/env/bin/activate
(env)[root@l4377t hue]# pip install psycopg2
python2.6: error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.6.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

As mentioned in this thread, Hue was NOT supported on RHEL/CentOS 7 - is this still valid ? If yes, how shall I proceed with the Hue installation ? Are there any alternatives in HDP for Hue ?

Oozie workflow mgt. isn't required right away but the Ambari views for Hive etc. would be. I have the following questions :

• All the views can be accessed AFTER logging in Ambari - what approach should be taken to make these views available to end-users registered in some corporate LDAP groups ?

• I can see the Hive but NOT the Pig view. Is it that it needs to be configured manually to be visible ?

• Nothing happens when I click on the Files view ? Does this need to be configured separately ? If this view exists, what is the use of the NN UI -> Utilities -> Browse file system ?

You will typically need to do some configuration on the views to make them work properly. In a secured cluster, you have to specify all of the parameters for connecting to the particular service instead of using the "Local Cluster" configuration drop down. The Ambari Views Documentation contains instructions for configuring all of the various views.
