Istvan Toth commented on HBASE-28489: ------------------------------------- Which means that default/BASIC auth cannot be used with HA/LB now. > Implement HTTP session support in REST server and client > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-28489 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-28489 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: REST > Reporter: Istvan Toth > Assignee: Istvan Toth > Priority: Major > > The REST server (and java client) currently does not implement sessions. > While is not necessary for the REST API to work, implementing sessions would > be a big improvement in throughput and resource usage. > * It would make load balancing with sticky sessions possible > * It would save the overhead of performing authentication for each request > The gains are particularly big when using SPENGO: > * The full SPENGO handshake can be skipped for subsequent requests > * When Knox performs SPENGO authentication for the proxied client, it access > the identity store each time. When the session is set, this step is only > perfomed on the initial request. > The same change has resulted in spectacular performance improvements for > Phoenix Query Server when implemented in Avatica. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
