[Grub-dev] Server answer codes

[Yousef Ourabi]

i'm not sure 202 is the best for an error message regarding hbase -- section
6.1.1 of rfc 2616 is pretty clear that 2xx is success only -- while one
could make the argument that the "client" side was successful, I think a 5xx
would be more appropriate... since there was a problem, and it was clearly
on the server side...

input?
