----------------------------------
Summary: Add REST Interface to JobManager
Key: FLINK-1228
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1228
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Arvid Heise
For rolling out jobs to an external cluster, we currently have 3 choices:
a) Manual submission with Web Interface
b) Automatic/Manual submission with CLClient
c) Automatic submission with custom client
I propose to add a way to submit jobs automatically through a HTTP Rest
Interface. Among other benefits, this extension allows an automatic submission
of jobs through a restrictive proxy.
Rough idea:
The web interface would offer a REST entry point for example /jobs. POSTing to
this entry point allows the submission of a new job and returns the job URL.
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/sigv4-post-example.html
GETting the job URL returns a small status.
DELETING the job URL aborts the job.
GETting on the /jobs returns a list of active and scheduled jobs.
Since Flink already has a Jetty web server and uses Json for other services,
the basic extension should require low effort. It would help Flink to be used
inside larger corporations and align the interfaces with the other
state-of-the-art MapReduce systems (s3, HDFS, HBase all have HTTP interface).
