-------------------------------------
Summary: GSOC: Upgrade Mesos Web UI backend to use V1 Operator API
Key: MESOS-8817
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-8817
Project: Mesos
Issue Type: Task
Components: webui
Reporter: Armand Grillet
This is a project IDEA for [Google Summer of
Code|https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/] (GSOC). To discuss this or other
ideas with your potential mentor from the Apache Mesos project, sign up and
post to the [[email protected]|mailto:[email protected]] list,
including "[GSOC]" in the subject. You can also comment this Jira issue if you
have an account.
h2. What is the issue?
The Mesos UI currently uses [unversioned REST
endpoints|http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/endpoints/] to show data
regarding the cluster.
Best practices would be to use the newer [Operator HTTP
API|http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/operator-http-api/] instead,
but this upgrade requires changes in the backend that have not been done yet.
Using this new API would allow us in the future to stream the state of the
cluster and thus have a more responsive and easily upgradable UI.
h2. What would you do during your Summer of Code?
This project would require an upgrade of our current Angular web app to send
new types of requests (e.g. Mesos can answer synchronously or not) and read
from endpoints returning different information compared to the old ones.
This project is also the opportunity to improve the organization of our Angular
controllers to have a more straightfoward logic from getting the data to
showing it to the users.
h2. Who will help you?
If you accept to work on this project, you will be mentored by [Armand
Grillet|https://reviews.apache.org/users/ArmandGrillet/] and shepherded by
[Benjamin Mahler|https://reviews.apache.org/users/bmahler/].
Benjamin has maintained the Mesos Web UI for 5 years and I am currently working
on improvements to it (more front-end related). We both have a keen interest in
improving this Mesos component.
