Chang Li commented on HDFS-6407: -------------------------------- bq.This change is unacceptable as it will hinder readability as the numbers can be as large as couple terabytes [~wheat9] sorry about if there is misunderstanding, but it seems you are not understanding my work right. Though I disable the fmt in dust template, I let dataTable to do the work to render the table and display it with right unit. I attach the sorting table.png for you to see the effect. bq. Approaches that really separate the controls and the views are definitely the way to go I think my .5 patch actually separate the control and views. Actually it's dataTable enables me to do that with its property of orthogonal data: sorting, display taking different input. It will help for you to understand my work if you can read about the orthogonal data property of dataTable https://www.datatables.net/manual/orthogonal-data. > new namenode UI, lost ability to sort columns in datanode tab > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-6407 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6407 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: namenode > Affects Versions: 2.4.0 > Reporter: Nathan Roberts > Assignee: Benoy Antony > Priority: Critical > Labels: BB2015-05-TBR > Attachments: 002-datanodes-sorted-capacityUsed.png, > 002-datanodes.png, 002-filebrowser.png, 002-snapshots.png, > HDFS-6407-002.patch, HDFS-6407-003.patch, HDFS-6407.4.patch, > HDFS-6407.5.patch, HDFS-6407.patch, browse_directory.png, datanodes.png, > snapshots.png, sorting table.png > > > old ui supported clicking on column header to sort on that column.
