Haohui Mai commented on HDFS-6407:
----------------------------------
bq. It will be a good idea to standardize on one sort/pagination plugin across
hdfs and yarn UIs.
Just to reiterate, I don't see a way to do it correctly by simply sorting rows
in the HTML tables. What are the expected results of the following case?
{code}
|| DN || DFS Usage ||
| dn1 | 92 GB |
| dn2 | 110 GB |
| dn3 | 4 MB |
{code}
If you sort them by DFS Usage alphabetically (which is what the plugin does),
you'll get:
{code}
|| DN || DFS Usage ||
| dn2 | 110 GB |
| dn3 | 4 MB |
| dn1 | 92 GB |
{code}
The results do not make sense to me. What it implies is that the sorting should
be done at the JSON data, and it should be done at the same time when
pagination is done.

> old ui supported clicking on column header to sort on that column. The new ui
> seems to have dropped this very useful feature.
> There are a few tables in the Namenode UI to display datanodes information,
> directory listings and snapshots.
> When there are many items in the tables, it is useful to have ability to sort
> on the different columns.
