-------------------------------------
Summary: Convert Resource.Type enum to class
Key: AMBARI-4376
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-4376
Project: Ambari
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Tom Beerbower
Assignee: Tom Beerbower
The use of an enum for Resource.Type does not allow for on the fly additions of
new resource types for the API. The new Ambari Views needs to be able to
extend the API through the addition of new resource types.
Converting from an enum to a class is pretty straightforward but has some
limitations. For example, an enum can be used in a switch statement but a
class can't. We need to provide a way to allow for this conversion with
minimal code disruption.
