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,

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

    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
