> New method for obtaining report of NameNode and JobTracker internals
> --------------------------------------------------------------------
>
>          Key: HADOOP-215
>          URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-215
>      Project: Hadoop
>         Type: New Feature

>   Components: mapred, dfs
>     Reporter: alan wootton
>     Priority: Minor

>
> Many weeks ago we (at shopping.com research) decided we wanted to be able to 
> get reports from the internals of JobTracker and NameNode. The hadoop web 
> server provides some of this, but we wanted a more structured output, and 
> easier extensibility.
> So, we decided to use xml, and I wrote it.
> There is a very thin interface to ClientProtocol, and JobSubmissionProtocol 
> like this:
> public XmlReporter getXmlReport(String classname, String question);
> The implementation (in JobTracker and NameNode ) looks like this:
> public XmlReporter getXmlReport(String classname, String question)
>     {
>               XmlReporter reporter = XmlReporter.getInstance( classname, 
> this,  question);
>               reporter.report();
>               return reporter;
>     }
> The idea being that you pass in some xml (question), an XmlReporter 
> (classname) is instanciated and passed back. 
> An XmlReporter object consists of nothing more that two org.w3c.dom.Document 
> objects (one in the question, the other is the answer). The Writable 
> interface, for the RPC, simply serializes the dom tree to a string, and then 
> parses it back to a dom tree.
> Anyway, here it is. I would like for it to either make it into the code, or 
> for me to find anoher way.
