Istvan Toth updated HBASE-28489:
--------------------------------
Description:
The REST server (and java client) currently does not implement sessions.
While is not necessary for the REST API to work, implementing sessions would
be a big improvement in throughput and resource usage.
* It would make load balancing with sticky sessions possible
* It would save the overhead of performing authentication for each request
The gains are particularly big when using SPENGO:
* The full SPENGO handshake can be skipped for subsequent requests
* When Knox performs SPENGO authentication for the proxied client, it access
the identity store each time. When the session is set, this step is only
perfomed on the initial request.
The same change has resulted in spectacular performance improvements for
Phoenix Query Server when implemented in Avatica.
