Hey, its been awhile since I've typed anything out on this blog.
This will be short and sweet. Basically, my configuration is this:
node0 contains all user-based applications:
-pig
-hive
-hue
-sqoop
upgrading everything BUT hue was as easy as can be. I already had the proper nodes added to my hdfs-site.xml, core-site.xml, and mapred-site.xml files, including port numbers, etc. but I would still see the dreaded "localhost:8003" error on the web page whenever I loaded it up.
The secret ended up being in the /var/log/hue/beeswax*.out file, indicating a missing com.mysql.jdbc jar file in the classpath, so I simply copied "mysql-connector-java-5.1.11-bin.jar" to "/usr/share/hue/apps/beeswax/hive/lib/" and restarted the hue service. Beeswax now runs without issue. That was the only thing holding me back for 6 hours :( I feel so dumb, but hopefully this will help others in their quest to get beeswax working properly.
Oh, and the "hive.aux.jars.path" property in hive-site.xml doesn't do a damn thing to help. Don't even bother with that property, it doesn't work. This is as of 1.2.0.
