----------------------------------
Summary: Distributed Alias Service
Key: KNOX-1187
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-1187
Project: Apache Knox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Server
Affects Versions: 0.14.0, 1.0.0
Reporter: Phil Zampino
Given the ability to manage provider configurations and descriptors in
ZooKeeper, it would also be good to employ ZooKeeper for managing aliases since
descriptors reference them for discovery authentication.
The benefits of ZooKeeper-managed descriptors is limited by the current need to
individually define the associated aliases at each and every Knox instance. Any
Knox instance for which the referenced alias has not been defined will fail to
generate/deploy the topology because service discovery will fail.
The resolution of this issue will provide a Knox administrator the ability to
define aliases in ZooKeeper, which will be consumed and applied by any Knox
instance configured to monitor that same ZooKeeper, similar to the way provider
configurations and descriptors are supported.
