Stephan Ewen commented on FLINK-1228:
-------------------------------------
We currently have two web servers running:
1) The JobManager server, which displays running jobs and cluster details.
2) The WebClient, which only submits jobs and shows their execution plan.
(This one is optional, mus be started explicitly)
My first guess would be that this is a bit of a rework of the current design by
unifying the two servers into one and changing the design to follow the REST
pattern.
Arvid described above a good way of mapping REST operations to our operations.
> 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).
