---------------------------------------
> Toward a "thinner" client
> -------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-13278
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13278
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Brainstorming
> Components: Client, regionserver
> Reporter: Nick Dimiduk
> Priority: Major
>
> Here's a strawman proposal I've been thinking about lately.
> A stateless HTTP interface that runs on every RS and enables a client
> application to communicate with the cluster using just libcurl. This
> interface provides an interface for admin commands identical to existing REST
> gateway. Region location information is managed via http response
> codes/redirects. Redirects bounce the client to the correct host for a given
> region when available. The implementation doesn't suffer the "drinking
> through a straw" issues of our current gateway interfaces. No longer is a
> client ZK connection required, everything can be found via this API. Every
> machine in the cluster can run this service, so a client needs limited
> information to be able to interact with the cluster.
> A relatively performant client such as our Java client will require
> complexity for parallelism, location caching, &c., but a relatively naive
> client can be stood up relatively simply.
