Chris Nauroth commented on HDFS-4670:
-------------------------------------
I took the new UI for a test drive. It looks great! A couple of higher-level
questions:
# Is there a specific set of browsers/versions that we intend to support? The
old UI was so basic that pretty much any browser could handle it to some
degree. Bootstrap itself claims wide cross-browser support all the way back to
IE7, though I don't know if that's only for a specific subset of its
functionality. I did some non-exhaustive testing with Chrome, Firefox and
Safari on Mac, and IE8 on Windows, and they all looked fine. I don't have
access to anything older than IE8. I haven't tried any mobile browsers.
# Does it degrade gracefully if Javascript is disabled? I have seen
deployments that place the Hadoop cluster behind a firewall with users only
having access to the UI through a browser that by policy disables Javascript.
# Considering that it's common to screen-scrape the old pages, do we need to
mark this change backwards-incompatible, or at least put a warning in the
release notes?
I haven't checked all of the code, but I did spot this typo:
{code}
" <td>Compilcation Information</td>" +
{code}
Thanks, Elliott!
