rest api via knox will get 404 error

[#1]

Hi All,

i want use curl command to access HDFS via Knox, but always response

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found error.

command example:

curl -u admin:admin-password -i -v -k "https://KnoxHostName:8443/gateway/default/webhdfs/v1/user/hdfs&op=GETFILESTATUS"

and i know how to use curl to create/modify folder or file when url host is Name node with 50070 port, just don't know how to via knox,

if any other configs need to setting?

My Knox version is 0.12

Thanks.

Hi @Sen Ke,

Do you have webhdfs defined in your topology file?

If you are using sandbox, open /usr/hdp/current/knox-server/conf/topologies/knox_sample.xml and add

<service>
  <role>WEBHDFS</role>
  http://sandbox.hortonworks.com:50070/webhdfs
</service>

If you are not using a sandbox, go to Knox->Configs->Advanced Config->Advanced topology and add

 <service>
     <role>WEBHDFS</role>
    http://<namenode-host>:<namenode-port>/webhdfs
</service>

Thanks,

Aditya

i'm not using sandbox, and after install knox, ambari has auto create default.xml include

<service>
<role>WEBHDFS</role>
{{webhdfs_service_urls}}
</service>

because not work, i tried modified to

<service>
<role>WEBHDFS</role>
<url>http://My_NameNode:50070</url>
</service>

still not work,

now, i tried modify to

<service>
<role>WEBHDFS</role>
<url>http://My_NameNode:50070/webhdfs</url>
</service>

problem is service url wrong.
