File Manager (uploads, preview, profiling, “create table”)

The File Manager now covers the day-to-day work you do with objects without leaving ILUM. You can browse buckets and folders with clear breadcrumbs, quickly filter or sort by name, size, or modified time, and create new folders where you have write access. Uploads support multiple files at once with visible progress, and downloads work for single files or multi-select from the action bar.
  • Browse & context
    • Clear breadcrumbs for cluster → storage → bucket → folder.
    • Filter & Sort by name/extension, size, or modified time; quick search box.
  • Upload
    • Multi-file upload from the toolbar (Upload).
    • Progress indicator per file, safe server-side size checks.
    • Works in any bucket/folder you have write access to.
  • Create folder
    • Create new folders anywhere you have permissions (Create Folder).
  • Preview (no download needed)
    • Inline Preview badges next to files; opens a modal viewer.
    • View CSV / JSON / XML / Text content directly in the UI. Parquet/Delta support in next release.
    • Streamed, size-limited preview to avoid browser timeouts, shows basic file metadata (size, modified, path).
  • Download
    • Download single files from the list or from the preview modal.
    • Bulk download from the bottom action bar when multiple items are selected.
  • Copy path / name
    • One click to copy the fully qualified object path (for notebooks, SQL, Airflow, NiFi).
    • Copy just the file name when you need it for scripts or configs.
  • Delete
    • Delete single or multiple items via the bottom action bar.
    • Requires write permissions, confirmation dialog to prevent mistakes.
  • Bulk actions bar
    • When you select files, a bottom bar appears with: Download, Preview, Copy Path, Copy Name, Delete.
    • Works across mixed selections (where the action applies).
  • Create Table (from file)
    • From the preview modal, Create Table to register a file or folder in a chosen catalog (Hive or Nessie) and table format (e.g., Iceberg/Delta/Hudi).
    • Useful for quick data onboarding without leaving the File Manager.
  • Permissions & safety
    • All actions honor ILUM RBAC and underlying storage ACLs.
    • Preview is read-only, destructive operations (delete) are gated by permissions and confirmation.
