Isilon

Question

Hi

I am trying to build a file explorer in my web application. The idea is to display the explorer and allow users to navigate the tree and select directories or individual files.

So i am looking for an Isilon API that would return me a complete tree listing.

Is this possible and if so, please point me to examples/documentation for the rest api? Is this very expensive (in terms of time/resources) to do?

In the API Reference Guide for your OneFS version, check out the section "File Access API" and have a look a the "Query" operation for objects. The query recursively traverses a subtree and returns objects that match given criteria; just pass criteria that would always match (such as size >=0; or most likely an empty criteria list will already do).
