Philip Zeyliger commented on HADOOP-9160:
-----------------------------------------
Luke,
The issue is with *write* operations. Things like "format HFDS" or
"refreshNodes" or "decomission" or "enterSafemode." Those are currently done
with DFSAdmin and friends. They operate over our RPC mechanism. I don't like
the prospect of having yet another RPC mechanism to do the same thing.
> Adopt Jolokia as the JMX HTTP/JSON bridge.

> Key: HADOOP-9160
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9160
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Luke Lu
> Assignee: Junping Du
> Labels: features

>
> The current JMX HTTP bridge has served its purpose, while a more complete
> solution: Jolokia (formerly Jmx4Perl) has been developed/matured over the
> years.
> Jolokia provides comprehensive JMX features over HTTP/JSON including search
> and list of JMX attributes and operations metadata, which helps to support
> inter framework/platform compatibility. It has first class language bindings
> for Perl, Python, Javascript, Java.
> It's trivial (see demo patch) to incorporate Jolokia servlet into Hadoop HTTP
> servers and use the same security mechanisms.
> Adopting Jolokia will substantially improve the manageability of Hadoop and
> its ecosystem.
