Steve Loughran commented on HDFS-453:
-------------------------------------

The NN JSP helper is chucking out HTML from some of its methods, not 
well-formed XML. There's a risk that the content pushed out here is not valid 
XML.

#the tests that have been left out need to take the XML and try and parse it. 
This isn't that hard, you could do it in Ant using <get> then <xmlvalidate>, 
ideally against a schema that comes with the patch.
#All content that goes out as XML has to be passed through XMLenc. I actually 
think this is a good opportunity to knock up a successor to xmlenc, one that is 
namespace aware, and so can be used to push XHTML in the right namespace.

> In HADOOP-4559, a general REST API for reporting metrics was proposed but 
> work seems to have stalled. In the interim, we have a simple XML translation 
> of the existing NameNode status page which provides the same metrics as the 
> human-readable page. This is a relatively lightweight addition to provide 
> some machine-understandable metrics reporting.
