    # Database backend to use.
    engine=drill

    # Connection type. This can be:
    # 1. direct
    # 2. zookeeper

    # Drillbit address for direct connection.
    drillbits=<node>:31010

    # Security mechanism of authentication none/GSSAPI/MAPR-SECURITY.
    mechanism=none
  2. Restart Hue to apply the updated configuration: 
    maprcli node services -name hue -action restart -nodes <node>
