Description

A fsck tool for S3 would help diagnose data problems and also collect statistics on the use of a S3 volume.

The existing 'bin/hadoop fsck' invocation should be extended to support S3 (currently it supports only HDFS) rather than adding another command. It should be possible to do this by extracting the filesystem from the path (required first argument) and delegating to the relevant fsck tool.
