(c) -- the file browsing page should NOT automatically refresh
it is kind of strange that you cannot reproduce it. I see it all the
time (the file viewer page gets updated at some interval. As the
content of the file is in a text box, the position is reset to the
top of block. Which is annoying). Not that this is FILE VIEWER
page. The original description say "file browser" which may be
confusing.
(d) -- in FILE VIEWER page, display the content in the page, rather
than in a text box.
may be this can be provided as an option? E.g. setting a checkbox in
the directory viewing page?
Or maybe it is possible to make sure that the text box is as wide as
the window? This would provide the similar functionality. Although
it would be nice to turn wrapping off.
In so many cases, the narrow text window makes it impossible to look
at the data, and one has to "fds -cat | less" instead, which kind of
defeats the purpose of the UI.
(x) While here: it would be so nice to add the CURRENT TIME to all
the pages.
For naive users like myself, understanding universal time is very
difficult. So knowing what the cluster thinks about current time
makes it so much easier to understand when a job has actually started
or ended....

Enis Soztutar updated HADOOP-800:
---------------------------------
Attachment: improvementsToDFSBrowsing_v1.0.patch
<improvementsToDFSBrowsing_v1.0.patch>
This patch addresses the issues listed above. However only (a) and
(b) is fixed. I could not regenerate (c), and i did not understand
(d) so i will not submit a patch for them.
(a), now the title for directory and file browsing is HDFS:
<directory name> or HDFS: <file_name>
But the long names(more than 50) are trimmed from the left, so that
the name of the file or current directory is displayed.
(b) Browsing works similar to nautilus, so that each directory in
the path can be clicked. I have not changed goto parent directory
option for backwards compatibility.
(c) cannot reproduce
(d) i will not fix
(e) i have added a text input and a button for direct navigation.
A path can be entered here so that we can go directly to this path.
More improvements to DFS browsing WI

Key: HADOOP-800
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-800
Project: Hadoop
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: dfs
Reporter: arkady borkovsky

Attachments: improvementsToDFSBrowsing_v1.0.patch
(a) the TITLE of web pages is
HDFS: <directory name>
or
HDFS: <file_name>
for directories and files, correspondingly.
trimmed from the right, if too long.
(This helps finding browser windows, tabs, navigating history, and
creating bookmarks)
(b) instead of or in addition to "go to parent directory" link,
each element of the path displayed at the top of the page should
link to the corresponding directory.
This also saves a line in display.
(c) the file browsing page should not automatically refresh.
(d) it would be nice to use the whole window rather than the text
box for viewing.
Wrapping is often harmful.
