Hello, I have installed hdfs to use it with hadoop and hbase. I am wondering if i can use it as a normal file system too that just connects several HDDs ?
For example i can see the files i have stored through the webinterface (browse filesystem) or with the dfs commands. However if I go to the exact location in the hdfs directory there is nothing. Everything is stored in an "hdfs format". Is it possible to go to /app/hadoop/tmp/data/text.txt for example in some way? Can i use it in such way? I just want to avoid to install NFS servers as i already have in place hdfs. Best, PA
