Stephan Ewen commented on FLINK-1228:
-------------------------------------
If we add the REST API, I think it would make sense that we change the two
existing web frontends to the use that REST API as well, rather than
maintaining two different ways of presenting actions to web browsers.
There is also a rather ongoing (although not very hot) discussion about
redesigning/improving the current jobmanager web interface. Maybe someone that
was active there could chime in ([~till.rohrmann] or [~aalexandrov] or
[~JonathanH5])
> 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).
