Sanjay Radia commented on HDFS-1111:
------------------------------------

Q. Is the RaidNode accessing the functionality via RPC directly or via method 
that was added to the Hdfs and DistributedFileSystem.
RaidNode should not be accessing the functionality directly via RPC - rpc's are 
internal interfaces.
Further if you believe this functionality is useful for adding to Hdfs and 
DistributedFilesystem please make the case ( i believe one could make such a 
case).
When adding special hooks for private or external tools, one should make a case 
that such hooks are generally useful.
I realize that a previous Jira has added this functionality; but you were  the 
author of the previous jira  and so should be able to make the case.

> 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.
