-------------------------------------
The test failures and findbugs warning have been fixed in HDFS-8300, so I
submitted a fresh Jenkins run for this patch.

> The NameNode has a brief window of time when the HTTP server has been
> initialized, but the namesystem has not been initialized. During this
> window, a WebHDFS call can cause a {{NullPointerException}}. We can catch
> this condition and return a more meaningful error.
