Hue Hue is a general purpose web interface built for the Hadoop ecosystem. Use Hue if you want to easily run and schedule Pig and Hive jobs. Navigate to to http://hue.analytics.wikimedia.org/. You'll need a Hue login account. Otto should have created one for you and given you a password if you also asked him for a shell account earlier. (This will soon be hooked into LDAP, and you will be able to use your usual WMF password). http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Analytics/Kraken/Access#Hue
