-----------------------------
Summary: Provide a way to disable browsing of the files from the
web UI
Key: HDFS-3801
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3801
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: name-node
Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha
Reporter: Harsh J
Priority: Minor
A few times we've had requests from users who wish to disable browsing of the
filesystem in the web UI completely, while keeping other servlet functionality
enabled (such as fsck, etc.). Right now, the cheap way to do this is by
blocking out the DN web port (50075) from access by clients, but that also
hampers HFTP transfers.
We should instead provide a toggle config for the JSPs to use and disallow
browsing if the toggle's enabled. The config can be true by default, to not
change the behavior.
