HDFS Browser
The HDFS browser enables you to browse, select, and filter the files to which you have access in the Hadoop cluster to which Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta Enterprise Edition is connected.
The HDFS browser appears when you create a dataset in HDFS or in the HDFS tab when you import a dataset. SeeImport Data Page.
Note
Interactions with HDFS are determined by user permissions and features enabled in the Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta platform. For more information, see Using HDFS.
