Hi all, In HDFS, the code that relates to webhdfs and UIs has diverged quite a bit between branch-2 and trunk. This complicates the processes of maintaining webhdfs in several jiras (e.g., HDFS-5946)
Most of the divergences come from removing the JSP UI and the related clean ups that are committed to trunk. Though I myself have to take the blame of creating these divergences -- I wonder, is it acceptable to resolve these divergences, by committing these patches that remove JSP UI to branch-2? This would save us the pains of providing two patches when fixing issues in webhdfs. Note that the new HTML5-based UI is fairly mature, as it has been around since 2.2, and it has been the default UI since 2.3. Compatibility, however, might be a concern -- according to the compatibility guide, Hadoop claims no compatibility for web UIs, thus we might be able to get away with that. Thoughts?
