Edward Capriolo commented on HIVE-1668:
---------------------------------------
Jeff,
I disagree. The build and test errors are not insurmountable. In fact some if
not most of the "ERRORS" were cascading changes that were not tested properly.
For example:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1183 was a fix I had to do because
someone broke it here. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-978 because
someone wanted all jars to be named whatever.${version} and did not bother to
look across all the shell script files that startup hive.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1294 again someone changed some
shell scripts and only tested the cli.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-752 again someone broke hwi without
testing it.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1615, not really anyone's fault but
no API stability across hive. I do not see why one method went away and another
similar method took its place.
I have been of course talking about moving HWI to wikit for a while moving from
JSP to Servlet/ Java code will fix errors, but the little time I do have I
usually have to spend detecting and cleaning up other breakages.
HUE and Beeswax I honestly do not know, but sounds like you need extra magical
stuff to make this work, and HWI works with hive on its own (onless people
break it)
> Move HWI out to Github

> I have seen HWI cause a number of build and test errors, and it's now going
> to cost us some extra work for integration with security. We've worked on
> hundreds of clusters at Cloudera and I've never seen anyone use HWI. With the
> Beeswax UI available in Hue, it's unlikely that anyone would prefer to stick
> with HWI. I think it's time to move it out to Github.
