dhruba borthakur commented on HDFS-853:
---------------------------------------

 We can calculate the variance of space-usage  by parsing "dfsadmin -report"  
but it will be good to have it in the webUI. It will also be good to expose it 
via a Hadoop Metric.


> The HDFS webUI should show a metric that summarizes whether the cluster is 
> balanced regarding disk space usage

> of space utilization to get a sense of how well a HDFS cluster is balanced.
