Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE updated HDFS-3518:
-----------------------------------------

    Attachment: h3518_20120611.patch

I still think that isHealthy and isInSafeMode are different:
- SafeMode is one of the conditions to determine healthy.
- isInSafeMode may throw exception but isHealthy won't.  When there is an 
exception, isHealthy simply returns false.
- If retry is set in conf or in a cached DistributedFileSystem, isInSafeMode 
may retry for a long time.  isHealthy disable cache and retry.

isHealthy is a high level utility method that makes use of isInSafeMode, which 
is a low level method, so that isHealthy could hide the details of handling 
cache, retry and exceptions.

h3518_20120611.patch: adds HdfsUtils.isHealthy(URI).
