I recently posted a blog about using my app Mystique to enable you to use HUE (webHDFS) while leveraging Isilon for your HDFS data storage. I had a few questions about the entire system and decided to also approach this from a different angle. This angle is more of "Why would you even use WebHDFS and the HUE File Browser when you have Isilon?" The reality is you really don't need it, because the Isilon platform give you multiple options for working directly with the files that need to be accessed via Hadoop. Isilon HDFS is implemented as just another API, so the data stored in OneFS can be accessed via NFS, SMB, HTTP, FTP, and HDFS. This actually open up a lot of possibilities that make the requirements for some of the traditional tools like WebHDFS, and in some cases Flume go away because I can read and write via something like NFS. For example, one customer is leveraging the NFS functionality to write weblogs dir...
