Description

While listing datanodes (e.g. in webui), consider the nodes listed in include and exclude files.

Proposed Rules :

1. If a node is listed in include file, it should be listed
2. If a node is listed under exclude file, it should not be listed unless it is not 'dead'.

Dhruba implies only the first rule applies towards the end of HADOOP-1138, i.e., a node should be listed if it exists either of the files. Dhruba, please clarify.
