How to enable WebHDFS in the Datanodes

Question

I have setup a Hadoop cluster with 1 Namenode and 2 Datanodes. The WebHDFS is enabled in the Namenode and I want to enable it in the Datanodes. What changes should I make to enable this?

Answer 1

In the datanodes, open the hdfs-site.xml file and add the following properties. It will be enabled:

<property>
  <name>dfs.webhdfs.enabled</name>
  <value>true</value>
</property>
