Open Hadoop HDFS NameNode WebUI
Determines if TCP port 50070 and 50470 for Hadoop/HDFS NameNode WebUI service is open to the public
While some ports such as HTTP and HTTPS are required to be open to the public to function properly, more sensitive services such as Hadoop/HDFS should be restricted to known IP addresses.
