getting files in hdfs

[Garri Santos <ga...@phpugph.com>]

Good Day,

I successfully installed and copy a test file to HDFS. I was wondering if is
it possible to directly access the file without getting it out first from
the HDFS.


Regards,
Garri

Thanks Ted for the clarification. That's a great approach.

That isn't (I don't think) what I was referring to.

I meant http://namenode:port/data/path-name

This gives you the entire file at a time.

Thanks Thomas and Ted,

when I use:

${PATH_TO_HADOOP_INSTALL}/bin/hadoop dfs -ls

it list:

/user/hadoop/sample.txt

I was wondering if how can I access that file from let's say a web interface
to direct on that file.

<!-- Like it was just mounted -->
<a href="/user/hadoop/sample.txt">Sample Text</a>

AFAIK the given example above will not work he he he

In order for me to access the file I have to -get sample.txt
/path/to/webroot/ the file and put it to my webroot and creating a the link
that will point to the file retrieve. I was thinking of other ways or
possibilities to bypass that process.

@Ted

yeah I explored that Browse file system and I think I can use that.

Is it possible to mount the /user/hadoop?


Thank you very much,
Garri

You can also get to the file via HTTP.

What do you mean by 'directly access the file'? HDFS provides several 
file operations. Type '${PATH_TO_HADOOP_INSTALL}/bin/hadoop fs' to see 
an appropriate usage message.
