How to run Hive on the Big Data Cluster

Accessing the Hue UI for Hive

Hive is a database available on the cluster that can be used in conjunction with Spark; Hue is its corresponding Web UI. While Hive should be available to all users on the cluster using the command line, using Hue requires a separate account that the system administrator will set up for you, providing you with a username (usually the same as your UMBC user ID that you use to login to the cluster) and a temporary password. With that in hand, head over to the following URL:  http://worker2.hdp-internal:8889

You will land at a login page similar to the one below:

Use your sysadmin provided ID and password to login, at which point you will see the following page:

On the top right of the page, you will notice your username which leads to a dropdown menu. Select the option My profile and change your password on your profile page before continuing.
