Hue 2.3.0 is the version I am using. I tried to scan the list of fixes in Hue 2.4.0 but no luck.
I am trying create an oozie coordinator which has date as output. I see a list of datasets I previously created when in "Step 4: output - SHOWING EXISTING". So I added one like
name:dateYYYYMMDD dataset: DT which should uri as ${YEAR}${MONTH}${DAY}
and saved coordinator.
Strange thing is that although I see "dateYYYYMMDD -> DT" as output. I DON'T see PATH for it. I still seesthe message "There are currently no defined outputs.".
If I try to submit now, a box popup asking me to fill in "dateYYYYMMDD". But that is DT and is defined.
If I went off to another tab say: work flow editor and come back to this coordinator, Step 4: output shows empty. It seems the output was never added in the first place.
Another problem which is minor is that in SHOW EXISTING DATASET, the delete does not work for me. I can delete some datasets and save coordinator, go to another tab (Workflows), come back to list existing datasets, they are still there.
To sum up, I have faced with 3 problems:
1 adding/deleting input/output dataset does not stick. It seems "save coordinator" did not update the databse properly.
2. input/output datasets don't have PATH shown (The sample output REDUCER_SLEEP_TIME) shows PATH. So I think the PATH is expected to show.
3. "delete" action on show existing datasets does not stick. The deletion can't be saved.
Anyone experiencing these problems? I am bit suprised that I would not find much hits when googling these problems. Is this because Hue 2.3.0 or not enough people adapted to Hue for oozie scheduling? Is there better GUI alternatives?
Please let me know if these problems do have fixes in Hue 2.4.0. GUI is nice to use and easy for other to see, but I am starting to thinking I am only one of a few who is using this. Perhaps I should wait for a future release.
Thanks.
