Saisai Shao commented on LIVY-616:
----------------------------------
[~oshevchenko] you can either push an empty commit or reopen the PR to trigger
travis test.
I'm curious about the scenarios of this proposal. Seems like you don't want to
maintain the Livy address in client side, instead asking ZK to get Livy server
address. I can see there's some advantages with this proposal, but instead you
have to maintain ZK address, what's difference between maintaining either?
Typically server discovery mechanism is mainly used in HA scenario, where you
can get the active master address from ZK, but current Livy doesn't support HA.
So IMHO, I don't see it super useful for now.
> Livy Server discovery
> ---------------------
>
> Key: LIVY-616
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIVY-616
> Project: Livy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Server
> Reporter: Oleksandr Shevchenko
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: Livy Server discovery spec.pdf
>
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Currently, there isn't a way to get Livy Server URI by the client without
> setting Livy address explicitly to livy.conf. A client should set
> "livy.server.host" variable and then get it via LivyConf. The same behavior
> if you want to use Livy with Zeppelin, we need to set "zeppelin.livy.url". It
> very inconvenient when we install Livy packages on couple nodes and don't
> know where exactly Livy Server will be started e.g. by Ambari or Cloudera
> Manager. Also, in this case, we need to have Livy configuration files on a
> node where we want to get Livy address.
> It will be very helpful if we will add Livy Server address to Zookeeper and
> expose API for clients to get Livy URL to use it in client code for REST
> calls.
> Livy already supports state saving in Zookeeper but I don't see that we store
> Livy server address somewhere. Before starting investigating and
> implementation I want to ask here about this.
> Please, correct me if I missed something.
> Any comments will be highly appreciated!
