-----------------------------------------
Summary: Provide an "add jar" endpoint
Key: TINKERPOP-1337
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-1337
Project: TinkerPop
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: server
Affects Versions: 3.2.0-incubating
Reporter: Daniel Kuppitz
Gremlin Server should provide something (an endpoint?) that allows the user to
add new jar files, without the need to restart the server.
We've talked about it before, but I thought it might be good idea to have a
ticket where we collect some thoughts.
One particular problem we've talked about is this: What if someone wants to
update a previously loaded jar? The initial loading of a new jar file seems to
be a smaller problem; unloading a jar file to update it with a newer version
seems to be a real problem. I would say we simply shouldn't support that. I've
looked into other projects (e.g. Hive) and there're ways to load new jars, but
not to unload them later. If you really need to get rid of a previously loaded
jar, then you'll have to restart the server / JVM.
