                 Key: HADOOP-5171
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5171
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: Test
          Components: fs, mapred
    Affects Versions: 0.21.0
            Reporter: Steve Loughran

            Priority: Minor


Add some basic tests to look for the standard JSP pages on a locally deployed 
MiniMR cluster

1. namenode: check that dfshealth is present
2. datanode: check that all the datanode JSPs load
3. GET the standard servlets.

The initial checks can just use httpclient to GET the pages; no need (yet) for 
HtmlUnit. 

If the tests were designed to take optional URLs  (e.g test.namenode.url and 
test.datanode.url) they could be run against processes brought up 
externally/remotely

They would
* help test that the JSP pages are being compiled down and bundled into the JARS
* verify the classpath is getting set up right
* check that the Jasper engine is working
* check the servlets are all registering

I've effectively had to do this in my own code; having a set of these tests 
inside hadoop would make it easier to point the blame at the classpath setup or 
something else.
