Hue v2.5.0, released Monday 15th, July 2013
===========================================

Hue, http://gethue.com, is an open source UI for Hadoop and its satellite projects.
It makes the whole platform (e.g. HDFS, MapReduce, Hive,  Oozie, Pig, Impala, Solr...) easy to use and
accessible from your  browser (e.g. upload files to HDFS, send Hive queries from a Web editor,
build workflows with Drag & Drop... all within a single app).


Notable Features
----------------

- HBase Browser application is tailored for quickly browsing huge tables and accessing any content.
  You can also create new tables, add data, modify existing cells and filter data with the auto-completing search bar.
