Web Interface

Tachyon has a user-friendly web interface allowing users to watch and manage the system. Below we describe its homepage, browsing page, and file page.

The home page gives an overview of the system’s status.

To browse the list of file, click “Browse File System” button. In browsing page, files in the current folder are listed, with the file name, file size, size for each block, the percentage of in-memory data, and the creation time. To view the content of a file in detail, click on that file.

File content page

File page displays file’s content and its block information. When the size of the file is large, the page only shows the first 5KB from a specified start position. To change the start position, enter the position in the input bar beside “Go” button and click “Go”.
