Rodrigo Schmidt commented on HDFS-1111:
---------------------------------------

André, here is my take on your points:

1) Agree!
2) Don't think we need a new Jira just to sort the output. It could be done 
inside this one or some other JIRA we might create (it's just a sort call 
anyway).
3) Definitely a new Jira
4) Done!
5) I wouldn't like to create yet another class that will be used only by this 
method. If we could do it in some simple and intuitive way, it would be better.

> getCorruptFiles() should give some hint that the list is not complete

> If the list of corruptfiles returned by the namenode doesn't say anything if 
> the number of corrupted files is larger than the call output limit (which 
> means the list is not complete). There should be a way to hint incompleteness 
> to clients.
> A simple hack would be to add an extra entry to the array returned with the 
> value null. Clients could interpret this as a sign that there are other 
> corrupt files in the system.
> We should also do some rephrasing of the fsck output to make it more 
> confident when the list is not complete and less confident when the list is 
> known to be incomplete.
