Move http server from FSNamesystem into NameNode.

                 Key: HADOOP-4618
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4618
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.1.0
            Reporter: Konstantin Shvachko
            Assignee: Konstantin Shvachko
             Fix For: 0.20.0


NameNode is responsible now for starting its RPC server. The (web UI) http 
server is started inside FSNamesystem class.
I think it should be the NameNode's responsibility to deal with all issues 
intended for exposing information it holds to the outside world. This should 
include the RCP server as well as the http server.
And FSNamesystem class should be a logical container of internal namespace 
data-structures and in general should not be accessed directly from the outside.
I came to this conclusion trying to implement a standby node. SNN and NN should 
be represented by the same class, since one can turn into another and vice 
versa during their life time. I realized that with current implementation the 
node startup logic will be spread between two classes ({{NameNode}} and 
{{FSNamesystem}}), which is inconvenient, complex, and error prone.
