Hue v2.1.0, released October 2nd, 2012

This is the release of Hue 2.1.0. Hue 2.1.0 is compatible with CDH4.1 (Cloudera’s Distribution Including Apache Hadoop 4.1).

1. Notable Features

Hue now provides an Apache Oozie application for creating workflows of Apache MapReduce, Apache Pig, Apache Hive, Apache Sqoop, Java, Shell, Ssh and Streaming jobs and scheduling them repetitively (HUE-755).
Hue is now available in German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Brazilian and simplified Chinese (HUE-758).

2. Notable Fixes

HUE-755 [jobsub] Support Oozie workflows with sequential actions
HUE-612 Show retired jobs in the job browser
HUE-206 Browsing a large directory slow for IE
HUE-811 [core] Notification messages working only on FF

3. Compatibility

Hue 2.1.0 runs on CentOS versions 5 to 6, and Ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04.

Hue 2.1.0 is compatible with CDH4.1. Specifically:

File Browser depends on Hadoop 0.20 (for WebHDFS/HttpFS).
Beeswax is tested against Hive 0.9.0.
Job Browser depends on MR1 (for the JobTracker plugin).
Job Browser does not work with Yarn/MR2.

Uploads with HttpFs in a federated cluster fail (HUE-742).
