Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-3452:
----------------------------------------

-Error codes could be something added as an option. They are reliable, except 
that proxy servers like to interfere.

-moving to constants should be easy.

It would be extra impressive if the result was hidden in a <span> with a 
specific name, so you could XPATH/regexp on the response and look for <span 
class="status" >SUCCESS</span> through some Xpath like

/[EMAIL PROTECTED]"status"]


>Do you have another mechanism in mind (other than using a servlet) to run fsck?

Possibly. In SVN we have the code to bring up any of the 
name/data/tracker/jobtracker nodes and execute operations on the filesystem,  
though many more tests are needed. adding an FSCK check component would round 
things off. Right now, I'd consider generating an httpclient request with all 
the parameters and do a regexp search on the result. 

> fsck exit code would be better if non-zero when FS corrupt

> fsck exit code would be better if behaved like other sys admin tools and exit 
> code indicated healthy/corrupt or other  errors.
