One thing that popped into my head when I saw this subject line was "Hadoop node status published as RSS" - for those who spend a lot of time in their feed readers or for easy integration this might be useful. And maybe something you can easily provide since it sounds like you already have XML generation.

Our end goal is an Ajax enabled dashboard. We are using Google Web Toolkit for the dashboard. We are currently working on the dashboard in a separate project space. Our enhancements to hadoop are for a new web context, servlet, supporting classes, and JSPs to serve generic xml in a RESTful fashion (that the GWT consumes and displays). If you're interested in the idea as a contribution, I'd be happy to share all the details of our design. Thank you, James Wilson Asynchrony Solutions, Inc
