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:
http://www.lornajane.net/posts/2012/unpacking-and-editing-a-chrome-extension
Someday I will unpack this for myself and post the source to GitHub.
