Hi folks, I was wondering if it's possible to develop a custom front end which allows monitoring/management of jobs/tasks and hdfs. From what i can see from the built in webapp, all JSPs retrieve the relevant NameNode/TaskTracker objects from the application instance; which is set during NameNode creation. Was wondering if it's possible to connect to a remote NameNode from an external server and application using Hadoop's API classes.
Thanks.
