------------------------------------
[~sjlee0],
bq. At some point, let's take a look at the REST API (as discussed earlier),
and see if we need to make them more consistent with the overall REST best
practices and more importantly hadoop's REST style (YARN, etc.). It's not
terribly urgent, and we just need to review it some time soon.
We can do so. For user facing APIs' the form and the naming is very important.
Everyone can chime in on this one.
bq. storing user in the app-to-flow table
Even I was wondering why its not there. In FS implementation, it was kept in
the mapping.
I think this should be fixed. Should I raise a new JIRA for this and fix it ?
bq. I propose that we store the user id in the app-to-flow table, and when we
recover the context on the read path, we use that user if the user is not
provided by the caller.
But for certain queries such as querying flows and flowruns or all apps for a
flow/flow run, we will not have context information. Because context is for
cluster and app. And for these queries, a single app has no meaning. I think
for these queries, we can take UGI and for others take it from context. But
this can make it confusing for user. So one option is to disregard UGI
altogether and force user to be supplied for queries for which context cant be
retrieved.
