-------------------------------------------

> If I remember correctly, there is another message
So what exactly will it print under the conditions (of your example) above?

I see that {{getCorruptFiles()}} was introduced in HDFS-729 as a part of fsck 
changes related to -list-corruptfiles. And it is not necessary for fsck. Do you 
agree with that?

RaidNode has not been mentioned before, not here, not in HDFS-729. 
ClientProtocol is HDFS-private api according to recently adopted 
classification. This means that external tools should not use or depend on it.


> getCorruptFiles() should give some hint that the list is not complete

> If the list of corruptfiles returned by the namenode doesn't say anything if 
> the number of corrupted files is larger than the call output limit (which 
> means the list is not complete). There should be a way to hint incompleteness 
> to clients.
> A simple hack would be to add an extra entry to the array returned with the 
> value null. Clients could interpret this as a sign that there are other 
> corrupt files in the system.
> We should also do some rephrasing of the fsck output to make it more 
> confident when the list is not complete and less confident when the list is 
> known to be incomplete.
