--------------------------------------

             Summary: Add INodeAttributeProvider startup progress into HDFS Web 
UI 
                 Key: HDFS-12186
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-12186
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: ui
            Reporter: Wei-Chiu Chuang


For a cluster of substantial size, INodeAttributeProvider may take a long time. 
We saw a large cluster where part of file system ACLs is managed by Apache 
Sentry, and NameNode took a few minutes for the Sentry HDFS NameNode Plugin to 
initialize. I suppose the same issue can arise for Apache Ranger and other 
INodeAttributeProviders implementation.

It would be nice to add an extra row in NameNode Web UI startup progress, in 
addition to "Loading fsimage", "Loading edits", "Saving checkpoint" and "Safe 
mode", to give a better visibility what NameNode is doing.

In addition, there might also be a need to add a similar row into Web UI for 
loading NameNode plugins. So filing this jira to invite more discussion.
