Steve Loughran commented on SLIDER-665:
---------------------------------------
certainly we can publish information, including URLs to services —which is what
we do with thing like HBase today.
Are you thinking of the AM hosting a separate web site for REST calls? We do
that for agent heartbeating in to a private SSL site. There's nothing to stop
us doing this for other services. One concern is security, the RM proxy is
meant to handle security and authentication. so matters for end users.

> Key: SLIDER-665
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLIDER-665
> Project: Slider
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: appmaster, Web & REST
> Affects Versions: Slider 0.60
> Reporter: Sumit Mohanty
> Priority: Critical
>
> Slider AppMaster UI provides a REST end point for various metadata related to
> the application and general purpose application status. Applications can also
> explicitly export config and URLs (any data for that matter) and that is also
> available through the REST end point.
> What is not possible is for the application to report back custom data sets
> at regular intervals and have it available through the AM REST endpoint. The
> advantage of such a support would be for applications that do not need a
> comprehensive web service and can extend the AppMaster REST endpoint to
> provide application specific data. _Its worth investigating if the REST API
> should be readonly or it is also expected to have support for PUT and POST._
> Such feature will mean:
> * Allow agents to send custom stats to the AM (arbitrary JSON structure)
> * Make per component instance JSON stats available through the Slider AM Web
> Service
