Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-9562:
----------------------------------------
of course, if it is just GET ops, then making dfshealth a valid XHTML page with
id's for every span/div containing data lets you grab this stuff by
GET->parse->xpath operations, such as {{//html/body/div[id="safemode"][0]}}.
You wouldn't need any extra pages, just some tests to verify that the served up
content would parse and the relevant IDs resolve
> 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.
