HUE: A nice graphical interface to Hadoop

Hadoop User Experience (HUE) allows you to use a web user interface to perform common tasks like submitting new jobs, monitoring existing ones, execute Hive queries or browsing the HDFS filesystem.

The HUE interface can be accessed through the BD|CESGA WebUI.

You just have to follow the link to HUE and then login using your credentials (the same as for FT supercomputer).

The HUE login page: select LDAP and enter your credentials.

Once inside HUE you can use it to launch Hive queries and display the results in a graphical way.

Using HUE you also have a quick Web UI to explore HDFS.

You can also use HUE to monitor your jobs in YARN:

And from the properties tab you can get the link to the tracking URL of the job:
