Brian Beggs commented on HBASE-1400:
------------------------------------
I've been thinking about this slice of code for a while now and I really don't
like this dispatcher servlet and the way that the actions kind of break out
from this.
I started using the java jersey project this past week to write a REST
interface for another project I was working on. https://jersey.dev.java.net/
I think that if we could move the servlet code to this framework I think the
project could gain a lot of maintainability and loose a lot of this spaghetti
code that seems to plague the system currently. I could dedicate some of my
time to helping make this transition if you guys are interested.
> Improve REST interface semantics and efficiency
> -----------------------------------------------

> Key: HBASE-1400
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1400
> Project: Hadoop HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: rest
> Reporter: Andrew Purtell
> Priority: Minor
>
> Improve the semantics of the REST interface: more metadata operations, bulk
> updates, protobufs (if Accept equals "application/x-protobuf" for GET or
> Content-Type equals the same for PUT or POST) instead of multipart/related
> (which is not supported now anyway) etc. for general efficiency and support
> for queries or scanners that return multiple KeyValues.
> I am working on a proposal.
