The Hadoop on Azure’s Javascript console has basic graphing functions: Bar, Line & Chart. I think this is great becuase it gives an opportunity to visualize data that’s in HDFS directly from the Interactive Javascript Console! Here’s a screenshot:

In the console, I ran the help(“graph”) command to see how I can use this function:
Draw a graph of data
graph.bar(data, options) Bar graph
graph.line(data, options) Line graph
graph.pie(data, options) Pie chart

Parameters
data (array) Array of data objects
options (object) Options object, with
x (string) Property to use for x-axis values
y (string) Property to use for y-axis values
title (string) Graph title
orientation (number) x-axis label orientation in degrees
tickInterval (number) x-axis tick interval
