---------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Hi Suresh and others,
Yes I agree, we can close this. It is better to go with a filter.
> Provide a way to disable browsing of files from the web UI

> Key: HDFS-3801
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3801
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: namenode
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha
> Reporter: Harsh J

> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: HDFS-3801.patch

>
> A few times we've had requests from users who wish to disable browsing of the
> filesystem in the web UI completely, while keeping other servlet
> functionality enabled (such as fsck, etc.). Right now, the cheap way to do
> this is by blocking out the DN web port (50075) from access by clients, but
> that also hampers HFTP transfers.
> We should instead provide a toggle config for the JSPs to use and disallow
> browsing if the toggle's enabled. The config can be true by default, to not
> change the behavior.
