@jss shouldn't that be mentioned in one of the two docs then? Eg, http://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/Ambari-2.4.0.1/bk_ambari-views/content/configuring_your_cluster_for_files_view.html That doc specifically says "4. Save the configuration change and restart the required components as indicated by Ambari." It should say "and HiveServer2 in order to use Hive View". ... View more

Thanks for pointing to more information. I'm going to accept vperiasamy's answer. ... View more
