listCorruptFileBlocks should be functional while the name node is still in safe 
mode

                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1476
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Patrick Kling


This would allow us to detect whether missing blocks can be fixed using Raid 
and if that is the case exit safe mode earlier.

One way to make listCorruptFileBlocks available before the name node has exited 
from safe mode would be to perform a scan of the blocks map on each call to 
listCorruptFileBlocks to determine if there are any blocks with no replicas. 
This scan could be parallelized by dividing the space of block IDs into 
multiple intervals than can be scanned independently.
