Till Rohrmann created FLINK-7458: ------------------------------------ Summary: Generalize GatewayRetriever for WebRuntimeMonitor Key: FLINK-7458 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7458 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Distributed Coordination, Webfrontend Affects Versions: 1.4.0 Reporter: Till Rohrmann Assignee: Till Rohrmann
Currently, all web frontend information can be retrieved from the {{JobManager}}. For that, we have the {{JobManagerRetriever}} which listens to leader changes and always connects to the leading {{JobManager}}. This gateway can then be used by the REST handlers. In the future (with Flip-6) the information will be distributed across different components and multiple components will have a REST endpoint. Due to that the REST handlers no longer can rely on the {{JobManagerGateway}}. Instead they might connect to different entities which need to be retrieved. In order to solve this problem, I propose to introduce a generalized gateway retriever which allows to retrieve the {{RpcGateway}} for different components. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
