Jing Zhao commented on HDFS-5066:
---------------------------------

bq. What do you mean by "make the tool continue the visualization based on the 
last time result"? 

Here I mean after visualizing the first 500 nodes, we can continue the 
visualization for the remaining nodes (maybe starting from some specific node 
that has been visualized). But this is a very hard-to-define functionality and 
also difficult to implement. 

So for now maybe we can first move the visualization functionality to 
SnapshotTestHelper, so that developers can use it for their unit test debugging 
(just like we use the dumpTree method before)? We can think more about how to 
expose this feature to outside as the next step.

> It would be nice to be able to visualize snapshot information, in order to 
> ease the understanding of related data structures. We can generate graph from 
> in memory inode links.
