Chris Douglas commented on MAPREDUCE-679:
-----------------------------------------

bq. I'm not sure if Aaron could use Xmlenc here, as it is biased towards 
writing whole XML docs (with the XML header) rather than fragments.

I don't see what you mean. 
[XMLOutputter|http://xmlenc.sourceforge.net/javadoc/0.52/org/znerd/xmlenc/XMLOutputter.html]
 doesn't appear to require the declaration.

bq. Given that XMLenc is no longer an active project, there is value in having 
our own classes to chuck out well-formed XML and XHTML

It's a fast, simple XML writer; I'm pleased that it's not getting new features. 
That said, escaping user strings displayed in the web UI is an excellent idea.

> 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 JobTracker status page which provides the same metrics 
> (including the tables of running/completed/failed jobs) as the human-readable 
> page. This is a relatively lightweight addition to provide some 
> machine-understandable metrics reporting.
