Benoy Antony commented on HDFS-6407:
------------------------------------
Why not use the plugin ?
Its a widely used plugin and used in other Apache projects like Storm. Based on
history, it's quite mature. It has a small size of 30 Kb. It seemed to function
very well during my testing. Instead of re-inventing the wheel, why not use a
standard solution ?
Enabling sorting on a specific table with the plugin is quite straight forward
as I explained in the comment above.
It is desirable to sort any table. Currently , I added sorting on data nodes,
snapshots and filesystem browsing. But if a table doesn't need sorting for
some reason, it can be easily removed.
BTW, pagination was never supported. It is normally required because client
doesn't have all the data which is not the case here.
> new namenode UI, lost ability to sort columns in datanode tab

> old ui supported clicking on column header to sort on that column. The new ui
> seems to have dropped this very useful feature.
> There are a few tables in the Namenode UI to display datanodes information,
> directory listings and snapshots.
> When there are many items in the tables, it is useful to have ability to sort
> on the different columns.
