I'm attempting to set the share_jobs setting described HERE to false.
The documentation HERE says to visit http://myserver:port/dump_config to find the location of the HUE config. For me it gives /var/run/cloudera-scm-agent/process/73-hue-HUE_SERVER/.
As you may guess from it being in /var/run/ the directory is recreated every time on boot so changes to the hue.ini are not saved and do not seem to affect the config listed at http://myserver:port/dump_config.
I ran find / -name hue.ini to see if there was another hue.ini to change. It returned:
/var/run/cloudera-scm-agent/process/73-hue-HUE_SERVER/hue.ini
/var/run/cloudera-scm-agent/process/69-hue-BEESWAX_SERVER/hue.ini
/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-4.7.0-1.cdh4.7.0.p0.40/share/hue/desktop/conf/hue.ini
/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-4.7.0-1.cdh4.7.0.p0.40/etc/hue/hue.ini
I've changed the config in each of these files to no avail. Where exactly is the hue.ini that I need to change?
I've also been looking around the Cloudera Manager for the jobbrowser section in the configuration but I have not been able to find it.
hue.ini file inside the server configuration directory (/var/run/cloudera-scm-agent/process/73-hue-HUE_SERVER/) should be modified that too not directly, should use CM instead. Location of the configuration directory will be changed during restart or applying new configurations.
Usually important service configurations will be listed in the cloudera manager configuration section. Configuration properties which are unimportant or new may not be listed, in that case these properties are supplied in the safety_val sections.
Go to CM Hue service configuration section search for hue_safety_valve_server.ini, then add the following
[jobbrowser]
share_jobs=false
Save and restart. Now if you go and check the /var/run/cloudera-scm-agent/process/XXX-hue-HUE_SERVER/hue.ini file you can see the change. What ever contents you are giving in safety_val will get appended to hue.ini file.
