stack commented on HBASE-7171:
------------------------------
bq. but HDFS nav code in servlet running inside NN would be of little value,
since it's showing one 'current' folder at a time
You are right.
I think we need two 'views'. One view would be a table of:
/hbase/data/abc/def/ghi/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Another view would be tables/familes/regions view (though what if the table has
a million regions?).
For the latter view, currently you could do listing of HDFS content but when we
moved over to the new fs layout, this view would be gotten by querying the
master for what are the tables, families, etc., and ultimately what files are
in a Store. It would become a pretty pivotal piece since you won't be able to
get it anymore doing a dfs -lsr /hbase
bq. show some stats, or show output similar to what 'hbase hfile' shows?...
For sure. For a start this would be a million miles ahead of what we have now.
bq. ...so not sure we want to display actual user data from tables in it?
There is that concern, yes. Would have to default not showing anything. Would
be sweet though if could browse... but that could come later.
