How |
...
to |
...
add |
...
a |
...
Chrome |
...
Omnibox |
...
extension |
...
to |
...
support |
...
HDFS |
...
browsing. |
...
At
...
the
...
link
...
below
...
is
...
a
...
quick
...
Chrome
...
Omnibox
...
extension
...
to
...
support
...
HDFS
...
browsing.
...
Basically
...
you
...
type
...
in
...
"hdfs"
...
and
...
a
...
space,
...
then
...
the
...
simplified
...
file
...
path,
...
which
...
is
...
the
...
hostname
...
without
...
a
...
port
...
followed
...
by
...
the
...
pathname.
...
...
As
...
an
...
example
...
using
...
a
...
node
...
called
...
"bad-qa-apahad",
...
if
...
you
...
type
...
hdfs
...
then
...
space
...
then
...
enter
...
the
...
following:
...
bad-qa-apahad/user/hive/warehouse/customer
...
You
...
should
...
see
...
something
...
like
...
this:
...
Then when you hit enter it will build and load the browse URL for you:
The current version assumes HTTP (not HTTPS) protocol, a browse port of 50075, and a NameNode info port of 50070. Also, remember to add the hostnames to your hosts file if they are not resolved by your DNS servers.
To install, open a Chrome tab pointing to chrome://chrome/extensions/
...
and
...
drag
...
the
...
CRX
...
file
...
(saved
...
from
...
the
...
above
...
link)
...
onto
...
the
...
page.
...
NOTE:
...
I
...
no
...
longer
...
have
...
access
...
to
...
the
...
source
...
for
...
this
...
extension,
...
but
...
you
...
can
...
alter
...
the
...
unpacked
...
extension
...
(to
...
change
...
ports,
...
etc.)
...
by
...
using
...
the
...
procedure
...
outlined
...
at:

...
Someday I will unpack this for myself and post the source to GitHub.
