Hue internal architecture and hive query execution

Question

How does cloudera hue executes hive query as a particular user with SSO implemented. Is there any documentation available for that?

Answer 1

Hue is a Python web application (Django, I believe) and uses a Python Hive client that forwards through the signed in username to Hive user.name impersonation support

There's a docs folder on Github - https://github.com/cloudera/hue/tree/master/docs
