Ajay Yadava commented on FALCON-1209:
-------------------------------------
To provide some more clarification on this JIRA, I am aware that this API was
exposed for enabling Rexster, the biggest advantage of which is to expose Graph
over REST api. I thought since Falcon already exposes useful REST API it is not
of much value. Users would want to query in terms of entities / instances
rather than in terms of vertices/ edges.
Another thought behind this was that exposing this API to users ties us to a
graph db.
However on second thoughts, I think it might be useful for some people to do
traversals or ad hoc scripts/queries in a language independent fashion. Might
be useful for debugging/ad hoc cases for administrators. Thoughts?
> Hide low level REST APIs for graph db from users

>
> Falcon Currently exposes several low level rest api for graph db to users
> e.g. you can query for a particular vertex id. Since ids are numerical, it
> doesn't make sense to expose these API to users.
> These API are useful for building more meaningful features for users /
> administrators but they are themselves not useful for users. Having these low
> level API adds more verbosity to the API without providing any useful
> features for the external users.
> I intend to remove exposure of these API as REST endpoints but keep the code.
