Allen Wittenauer commented on HDFS-8678:
----------------------------------------
When I attempt to use this, I only get a link to view the tail of the file. A
few thoughts:
* It's good that viewing the file requires another action on the part of the
user.
* I wonder if it's possible to craft a payload that could take over the browser.
* Why do I only get to see the tail and not the head? If I'm using something
like CSV, the head of the file could be extremely important.
> Bring back the feature to view chunks of files in the HDFS file browser

> The legacy file browser displayed small chunks of a file in the browser
> itself. This was useful to users because they can quickly verify that their
> input or output is in the format they expect. We should bring back this
> functionality.
