I was thinking about have an ambari ‘service’ in the rest api. The initial purpose would be to be able to retrieve ambari configuration variables for the metron service and components.
The api would be PUT: login to ambari -> ambari credentials for use with ambari, session variable GET: /component | service if login provided, returns the configuration GET:/component | service | property name if login provided get the property value for property name So, the caller would put the credentials, and after that point the caller or other services can use ambari service configurations, for example to get the configured metron hdfs root directory. This is opposed to configuring credentials in the rest configuration. Thoughts?
