  • QUOTE: The Hue server requires an SQL database to store small amounts of data, including user account information as well as history of job submissions and Hive queries. The Hue server supports a lightweight embedded database and several types of external databases. If you elect to configure Hue to use an external database, upgrades may require more manual steps.

    By default, Hue is configured to use the embedded database SQLite for this purpose, and should require no configuration or management by the administrator.

    The default SQLite database used by Hue is located in /usr/share/hue/desktop/desktop.db. You can inspect this database from the command line using the sqlite3 program. For example:
