Hadoop fuse allows you to mount HDFS as a virtual unix file system (see the =
FUSE libraries (filesystem in userspace)) so that normal unix commands can b=
e used to navigate and edit the files and directories. But this is not neede=
d and not suggested (ESP for production); use the hdfs CLI or API instead.

I believe it was orig created to have a simple way in development to browse h=
dfs, or for apps that had to use a Linux filesystem for input/output.=20

With Cloudera's Hue utility, you can now more easily browse hdfs.

Thanks,
