HDFS interface

HDFS Storage
One of Hadoop’s key features is its implementation of a
distributed file system. A distributed file system offers
a logical file system that is implemented over a cluster
of machines rather than on a single machine.

Hadoop offers access to HDFS through a command line


interface.
The Syncfusion Big Data Studio offers Windows Explorer-
like access to HDFS. It allows for common tasks such as
folder and file management to be performed
interactively.
