Jeff Hammerbacher commented on HIVE-1668:
-----------------------------------------
bq. Anyone who has hive can build and run the web interface.
Empirically, they don't. The value of the web interface to users is not nearly
as high as the pain it causes the developers for maintenance.
Moving it to Github will help determine if there's demand for the interface. It
should also help mature the product for eventual inclusion in trunk.
> Move HWI out to Github

> Reporter: Jeff Hammerbacher

> 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.
