Hue is a Web interface for analyzing data with Apache Hadoop. You can install it in any pc with any hadoop version.

Hue is a suite of applications that provide web-based access to CDH components and a platform for building custom applications.

The following figure illustrates how Hue works. Hue Server is a "container" web application that sits in between your CDH installation and the browser. It hosts the Hue applications and communicates with various servers that interface with CDH components.
