Re: Hadoop 2.5.0 - HDFS browser-based file view

For normal use, yes.  For development, it's useful to start small and be 
able to quickly see the output.


It's certainly not a major issue.  I just didn't know if there was a 
config option to change the behavior.


Thanks,
Brian

All,

I noticed that that on Hadoop 2.5.0, when browsing the HDFS
filesystem on port 50070, you can't view a file in the browser.
Clicking a file gives a little popup with metadata and a download
link. Can HDFS be configured to show plaintext file contents in
the browser?

Thanks,
Brian

Normally files in HDFS are intended to be quite big, it's not very easy to
be shown in the browser.
