What Is the HDFS Content Explorer?

The HDFS content explorer is used to navigate through HDFS folders and to manage prepared data that is stored in HDFS. It provides a tree-based view of the HDFS folder structure and a table-based view of the details for the prepared data. The HDFS content explorer is available for deployments that use SAS Visual Analytics Hadoop as the co-located data provider only.
The HDFS content explorer is shown in the following display:

The following sections provide more information about using the HDFS content explorer. It is launched from the data preparation interface by clicking HDFS from the toolbar.
Note: If the HDFS content explorer does not work and does not permit navigating HDFS, then contact your system administrator to make sure the SAS LASR Analytic Server Monitor is running.
