             Project: Hadoop
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: dfs

            Priority: Minor


The dfshealth.jsp displays the number of seconds that have elapse since the 
namenode got a heartbeat from a datanode. When the number of nodes in the 
cluster are huge, may of these values are seen to be negative numbers.

The FSNamesystem returns the timestamp when the namenode had last-heard from a 
datanode. The dfshealth.jsp gets the current system time and then subtracts the 
timestamp returned by the Namenode. This ordering of retrieving timestamps 
cause this problem.
