For scientific purposes we have to build a UI for a Hadoop Data Lake.

I found out that Hadoop offers a REST API for the WebHDFS. Unfortunately, the standard WebHDFS is not usable for the enduser.

I would like to use the Hadoop REST API to program a dynamic web file browser as well as Hue.

Unfortunately, I can not take this to Hue because we only need the file browser from Hue and not the whole system.

Would this be possible?

If you want Hue, then just use it and update the html to hide everything but the file browser

For example https://github.com/big-data-europe/docker-hdfs-filebrowser

Otherwise, yes, it's possible to rewrite all the WebHDFS calls into your own application
