Description

When constructing the URLs of the files to be consumed for the processing dr-elephant makes the assumption that the namenodes specified in the config file are the root for said URLs. In some cases these events may live in external storage such as S3 or WASB, both of which support the HDFS interface but are not necessarily accessible with a webhdfs:// prefix.

Research direction

Locate the code that constructs URLs for files consumed during processing, then trace how configured namenodes are used. Confirm how external HDFS-compatible storage such as S3 or WASB is represented, and consider the issue done when those event locations are supported without requiring a webhdfs:// prefix.
