HTTP status code incorrect for error conditions
-----------------------------------------------

                 Key: HBASE-2304
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2304
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: K M
            Priority: Minor


When there is a error given in the UI/JSPs, the HTTP status code is not set 
accordingly.

For example, if the page output for master.jsp is:

{{HTTP ERROR: 500
Trying to contact region server null for region , row '', but failed after 3
attempts.
Exceptions:
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.NotServingRegionException:
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.NotServingRegionException: -ROOT-,,0}}

The HTTP status code sent with the response is still "HTTP/1.1 200 OK".  This 
is a red herring for some types of monitoring, though it is debatable if an 
HTTP status code of 4xx/5xx reflect the server state or the state of the system 
being monitored.  It may well be that HTTP 200 is OK, since the HTTP UI is 
responsive and correctly indicating a failed HBase cluster.
