Uma Maheswara Rao G commented on HDFS-2413:
-------------------------------------------
I think we can expose below API.
/** Is the system in safe mode? */
public boolean isInSafeMode();
So that, the depending systems can check this API to know whether NN is out of
safemode or not.
Todd, is this ok for you? or expecting some other APIs as well?
Thanks

> Currently the APIs for safe-mode are part of DistributedFileSystem, which is
> supposed to be a private interface. However, dependent software often wants
> to wait until the NN is out of safemode. Though it could poll trying to
> create a file and catching SafeModeException, we should consider making some
> of these APIs public.
