> It would be useful to have a tool to examine/dump the contents of the fsimage 
> file to human-readable form.  This would allow analysis of the namespace 
> (file usage, block sizes, etc) without impacting the operation of the 
> namenode.  XML would be reasonable output format, as it can be easily viewed, 
> compressed and manipulated via either XSLT or XQuery.  
> I've started work on this and will have an initial version soon.
