Disable an Application (optional)

About this task

If you want to disable an application (such as Impala), follow these steps:

Procedure

  1. In the [desktop] section of the hue.ini file, uncomment the # app_blacklist= statement and insert the name of the app you want to disable (impala in this example).
    NOTE: Do not remove search from the app_blacklist. The Hue UI will not work if the search application is enabled. 
    # Comma-separated list of apps not to load at server startup.
# Note that rdbms is the name used for dbquery.
app_blacklist=spark,zookeeper,search,impala,sqoop,rdbms
  2. Once all changes are made, restart Hue so the changes will take effect.
    WARNING: You can re-enable a blacklisted application at any time, and then restart Hue.
