As i see here and here it should be possible to access HdInsight HDFS with something like
hdfs://<namenodehost>/<path>
but i'm not sure it's possible outside Azure, not sure of the port to use neither.
I'm actually trying with something like :
hdfs://hdinsightscopit.azurehdinsight.net:9000
Without success.
I need to access hdfs, i've no problem to connect with wasb[s]://<containername>@<accountname>.blob.core.windows.net/<path>
but it's not what i need.
Any idea ?
Regards,
HDInsight uses WASB instead of HDFS. This is an abstraction over Azure Blob Storage, so from outside the cluster you can just read/write directly to the blob to access the data.
For example, https://github.com/Blackmist/hdinsight-tools is a PowerShell script I created that allows you to enter WASB style addresses, but it just uses the standard Azure Storage Cmdlets to talk to storage.
