Cluster status and region topology visualization
------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HBASE-1805
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1805
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Andrew Purtell
            Priority: Minor


There are several FOSS options for in-brower interactive data visualization. 
For example:
    Protovis: http://vis.stanford.edu/protovis/
    Flare: http://flare.prefuse.org/
    Javascript InfoVis Toolkit: http://thejit.org/

The master GUI is of limited utility for dealing with really large tables or 
large clusters. It occurs to me looking over some of the examples/demos of the 
above that both HBase cluster status and region topology could be profitably 
rendered using such toolkits. 

For example, go to the Flare demo page: http://flare.prefuse.org/demo . Click 
on Layouts. Iterate over the sub options. Could be rendering region structure 
... navigate and click through for metadata. From there, hyperlink to actions 
or back to navigation. A pure Javascript example of something like this can be 
found here: http://thejit.org/Jit/Examples/Spacetree/example1.html

Go back to the Flare demo page. Click on Treemap.  Another visualization 
suitable for tables. A pure Javascript analogue can be found here: 
http://thejit.org/Jit/Examples/Treemap/example2.html
