Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-9562:
----------------------------------------
This would be good.
# must include DFS safe mode status
# assuming federation is supported, what are the implications?
# what about HFDS HA? Allow all NNs to do an enum of all NNs & status?
# are there any security implications? If so, access should be restricted.
# I'd like to have error codes in the pages, so I can do a {{curl -m 60
http://namenode:50020/service/dfslive.jsp}} and expect an error code if dfs is
not up and out out of safemode. The use case would be : let bash scripts (inc
Linux HA scripts) verify FS is live just by looking at the return code of curl
or {{GET}}.
> Create REST interface for HDFS health data

> Key: HADOOP-9562
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9562
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: fs
> Affects Versions: 2.0.4-alpha
> Reporter: Trevor Lorimer
> Priority: Minor
>
> The HDFS health screen (dfshealth.jsp) displays basic Version, Security and
> Health information concerning the NameNode, currently this information is
> accessible from classes in the org.apache.hadoop,hdfs.server.namenode package
> and cannot be accessed outside the NameNode. This becomes prevalent if the
> data is required to be displayed using a new user interface.
> The proposal is to create a REST interface to expose all the information
> displayed on dfshealth.jsp using GET methods. Wrapper classes will be created
> to serve the data to the REST root resource within the hadoop-hdfs project.
> This will enable the HDFS health screen information to be accessed remotely.
