Hi, i have moved (x) in it's own issue :
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1370
Unfortunatelly i again was not able to reproduce (c). The resulting html
from so called file viewer(actually browseBlock.jsp) does not contain
any directives to refresh the page, may be you are not using the latest
version of hadoop? Arkady, can you please send me the html of the page
so that i can check again? normally for html documents contain
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="600"> or some javascript to refresh
the page, but as far as i can tell, browseBlock.jsp does not.
Coming to (d), the text from the file is wrapped in a html <textarea> .
The number of rows and columns are required attributes to be given to
this tag. The html looks like :
<textarea cols="100" rows="25" wrap="virtual" READONLY>
//text of the file
</textarea>
we cannot make cols stretch as wide as the window width(because we don't
know!). We can either increase it to say 120 or make it a parameter, but
the latter will seem ugly i think.
Another option like you suggested is to delete the textarea tag, but IMO
it clearly seperates the file's content from the rest of the page, and
also it allows for more compact display of long content.
long story short, I suggest we increase cols to 120 to attack (d).

(x) While here: it would be so nice to add the CURRENT TIME to all
the pages.
For naive users like myself, understanding universal time is very
difficult. So knowing what the cluster thinks about current time
makes it so much easier to understand when a job has actually
started or ended....
I concur - I work with clusters located in wildly different
timezones, and it would be of tremendous help to see in the UI the
machine's notion of the current time (which sometimes differs even
from the current time in that timezone ;) ).
I think we can move (x) to a seperate issue, since it is a general
requirement not only for dfs.
For (c) and (d), i will check again the code to see what can be done.
