Iam using Apache Hadoop-2.7.1 on Centos 7 Operating System.
To setup HttpFs, this link suggests to install HttpFs. I do not find any binary available for it.
Is there an alternative method to configure HttpFs for Hadoop?
HttpFs is included in the binary tarball of Apache Hadoop itself. You need not download it separately.
The configuration files httpfs-env.sh and httpfs-site.xml are available under $HADOOP_HOME/etc/hadoop/ directory.
The startup script httpfs.sh is under $HADOOP_HOME/sbin/.
To configure the embedded Tomcat of HttpFs, look for the configuration files under $HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/httpfs/tomcat/conf/.
