Till Rohrmann commented on FLINK-1228:
--------------------------------------
The discussion about the redesign of the jobmanager web interface I had with
[~JonathanH5] mainly concerned the presentation of the available information.
The current web interface presents little information while requiring a lot of
space. We thought about presenting the currently running jobs and finished jobs
on the front page in a collapsed view. Moreover, it could be interesting for
the user to get some more information about the connected task managers on the
front page. The fewer clicks the user has to do in order to get to his
information, the better it is imho.
In the wake of redesigning the jobmanager web interface, we could also rework
the polling mechanism of the interface which is rather clumsy.
> Add REST Interface to JobManager
> --------------------------------

> Key: FLINK-1228
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1228
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Arvid Heise
>
> For rolling out jobs to an external cluster, we currently have 3 choices:
> a) Manual submission with Web Interface
> b) Automatic/Manual submission with CLClient
> c) Automatic submission with custom client
> I propose to add a way to submit jobs automatically through a HTTP Rest
> Interface. Among other benefits, this extension allows an automatic
> submission of jobs through a restrictive proxy.
> Rough idea:
> The web interface would offer a REST entry point for example /jobs. POSTing
> to this entry point allows the submission of a new job and returns the job
> URL. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/sigv4-post-example.html
> GETting the job URL returns a small status.
> DELETING the job URL aborts the job.
> GETting on the /jobs returns a list of active and scheduled jobs.
> Since Flink already has a Jetty web server and uses Json for other services,
> the basic extension should require low effort. It would help Flink to be used
> inside larger corporations and align the interfaces with the other
> state-of-the-art MapReduce systems (s3, HDFS, HBase all have HTTP interface).
