Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-1574: ----------------------------------- I think HDFS should be browsable in safe-mode -- perhaps in such a way that we just log a warning that delegation tokens will be non-persistent. > HDFS cannot be browsed from web UI while in safe mode > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-1574 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1574 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: name-node > Affects Versions: 0.22.0 > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Priority: Blocker > Labels: newbie > > As of HDFS-984, the NN does not issue delegation tokens while in safe mode > (since it would require writing to the edit log). But the browsedfscontent > servlet relies on getting a delegation token before redirecting to a random > DN to browse the FS. Thus, the "browse the filesystem" link does not work > while the NN is in safe mode. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
