Multi-Python Support for Hue
This release introduces Python 3.11 support for Hue across various operating systems. This enhancement ensures continued cluster stability by offering concurrent support for multiple Python versions, including Python 3.8 and Python 3.9. To access Python 3.11 for Hue, you must upgrade to Cloudera Manager 7.13.1.400 or a higher version.
You can now upgrade to newer Python versions without disrupting ongoing cluster operations, minimizing downtime, and ensuring a smooth transition.
Adopting Python 3.11 gives you access to adopt to the latest features, security patches, and performance improvements.
By default, Hue automatically selects the highest available Python version on the system. To set a specific lower version of Python, see How to configure a specific Python version for Hue.
