Yifan Cai commented on CASSSIDECAR-266:
---------------------------------------

Thanks for the elaboration! The lifecycle providers make sense. 

I feel that there might be some subtle differences in our understandings of 
"intent".  

My understanding is the following. See if they make sense. 
* An intent is to specify the target state for the node.
* An intent can be empty. Meaning, no action to perform. 
* When an intent is non-empty, sidecar will decide the action to perform after 
comparing intent with the current state. If intent already match with the 
current state, it results into no action. 
* Once an intent is fulfilled, the intent is cleared up, i.e. backing to empty. 

I feel that the last item is what we do not share the same understanding. 
Right? It sounds like that you want to monitor the C* node state and perform 
actions to make the C* node state to match with the intent. The concern here is 
the added complexity and the behavior might not always be desired.

> We would like to implement APIs to safely stop, start, and restart local 
> connected Cassandra instances through Cassandra Sidecar in a generic way. 
> This could lead to future work to implement Cassandra native rolling restarts 
> in Sidecar and automate the Cassandra upgrade process. 
> We propose implementing an {{AbstractLifecycleOperationsHandler}} interface 
> that defines start, stop, restart, and status endpoints to allow Sidecar 
> operators to implement their own lifecycle handlers, depending on how they 
> host their Cassandra processes. To provide a default implementation, we would 
> create a {{LocalProcessLifecycleOperationsHandler}} to implement this 
> interface and provide lifecycle operations for OS native Cassandra processes. 
> This could be defined as the default lifecycle manager in 
> {{{}sidecar.yaml{}}}, disabled by default.
> We propose the following APIs, leveraging the {{OperationalJob}} interface to 
> provide support for async non-blocking jobs. We will use the existing 
> implemented {{OperationalJobRoute}} , 
> {{/api/v1/cassandra/operational-jobs/:operationId}} , to track the status of 
> these jobs. These endpoints will live under a {{/node}} path to specify 
> operations on the local connected Cassandra instance, allowing for future 
> development of lifecycle endpoints for an entire Cassandra cluster:
> h5. *GET /api/v1/cassandra/operations/lifecycle/node/status*
> Gets the status of whether the local Cassandra process is running. 
> h6. Response
>  * 200 Ok
>  ** {{cassandra_running :: bool}}
>  * 500 Internal Sever Error
>  ** {{error :: string}}
> h5. *POST /api/v1/cassandra/operations/lifecycle/node/start*
> Start the connected Cassandra process. This request will succeed if the 
> process is already started to ensure idempotency.
> h6. Parameters
>  * {{block :: boolean (default False)}}
> h6. Response
>  * 202 Accepted
>  ** {{operationId :: string}}
>  * 500 Internal Sever Error
>  ** {{error :: string}}
> h5. *POST /api/v1/cassandra/operations/lifecycle/node/stop*
> Stop the connected Cassandra process after a pluggable health check passes. 
> This request will succeed if the process is already stopped to ensure 
> idempotency. 
> h6. Parameters
>  * {{block :: boolean (default False)}}
>  * {{skipHealthCheck :: boolean (default False)}}
> h6. Response
>  * 202 Accepted
>  ** {{operationId :: string}}
>  * 412 Precondition Failed
>  ** {{error :: string (health check fails)}}
>  * 500 Internal Sever Error
>  ** {{error :: string}}
> h5. *POST /api/v1/cassandra/operations/lifecycle/node/restart*
> Restart the connected Cassandra process after a pluggable health check 
> passes. 
> h6. Parameters
