> I had problems classifying this, but since it's not an improvement and
> neither a task, I thought I'd put it under "wishes". I like command line, but
> using hadoop fs -X ... leaves my fingers hurt after some time. I though it
> would be great to have a file manager-like front end to DFS. So I modified
> muCommander (Java-based) a little bit and voila -- it works _great_,
> especially for browsing/ uploading and deleting stuff.
> I uploaded the binary and WebStart-launchable version here:
> http://project.carrot2.org/varia/mucommander-hdfs
> Look at screenshots, they will give you a clue about how it works. I had some
> thoughts about publishing the source code -- muCommander is GPLed... so I
> guess it can't reside in Hadoop's repository anyway, no matter what we do. If
> you need sources, let me know.
> Finally, a few thoughts stemming from the coding session:
> * DF utility does not work under Windows. This has been addressed
> recently on the mailing list (HADOOP-33), so it's not a big issue I guess.
> * I support the claim that it would be sensible to introduce a client
> interface to DFS and provide two implementations -- one with intelligent
> spooling on local disk (using DF) and one with some simpler form of spooling
> (in /tmp for example). Note the funky shape of the upload chart above
> resulting from delay between spooling and chunk upload. I don't know if this
> can be worked around in any way.
> * Incompatible protocol version causes exceptions. Since the protocol
> changes quite frequently (isn't it version 20 at the moment?), some way of
> choosing the connection protocol to Hadoop and keeping the most recent
> versions around would be very useful for external clients.
