Chris Riccomini commented on SAMZA-277:
---------------------------------------
bq. I am thinking rather than making this table collapsable, it might be better
to just add a search box that will filter the table as you type, similar to the
GitHub file search (https://github.com/apache/incubator-samza/find/master).
This is not difficult to do: http://jsfiddle.net/giorgitbs/52aK9/1/
I agree. Not sure if this will satisfy [~jghoman], but I would prefer it.
bq. I am leaning more towards (1) because I am more in specific properties, but
I can see how many people would fine (2) helpful as well since doing ctrl-f on
the page might be more cumbersome if the table is very large.
I am leaning toward (2), mostly because we have very long prefix names for some
configs, and it's impossible to remember them. For example, if I want to look
up the broker list for a Kafka system, I'd have to type systems.kafka.producer
before I would get close to what I want, vs. just typing "broker".
I'm not strongly opposed to (1), though, since I actually see value in it as
well. This approach will shrink the result set, and is much more specific,
which is useful with large configs. It might be a bit confusing, though, since
typing "broker" (for example) won't return anything.
Also, +1 for using '/' as a shortcut for searching like GitHub.

> Our configs are hierarchical (x.y.z) and can be quite numerous. We can now
> sort the table, but it would be great to be able to collapse and expand bits
> of the table based on the hierarchy.
> * A complete collapse table would show just the {{x}} sections.
> * Expanding one level down would show {{x.y}} values, both those to be
> further expanded and those that are fully expanded.
> * etc. for each level.
> This would make it easy to quickly jump from one bit of config to another. I
> poked around, looking for a jquery library, but didn't immediately see a good
> match. Most of the hierarchical tree libraries are for file systems, which
> doesn't really fit here.
