Aleksandr updated IGNITE-23501:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
The REST interface is growing and the support of new endpoints getting messy. 
What we do now to support, say, /hello new endpoint:

- go to rest-api module and add new HelloApi interface with proper 
documentation and annotations
- go to rest module and implement the HelloApi with a java class, annotated 
with Controller
- go to rest module tests and write integration test for HelloController:
    - but.. here we need REST client that we have to generate from OpenAPI 
spec, so
    - import generated client and write some code around generated one
    - write tests and commit working solution!

The next thing we do is the support for CLI command for new REST method, so we:
- go to cli module and write some command-related code
- somewhere inside we import the generated REST client and
- write some code around generated one
- go to cli tests and write some tests.

As we can see, we write additional code both in cli and rest modules and this 
code is the same code. 

I suggest introducing rest-client module that will implement the rest-api with 
clear and well-organized hand-written code. But use the generated rest client 
just to validate our Open API is correct. We can even distribute rest-client as 
a separate "default" implementation for the Ignite REST API.
