Ryan Merriman commented on METRON-503:
--------------------------------------
Larry,
Thank you for the suggestion! I had not really considered Knox but this is an
interesting idea.
Most of the services we need to write will contain fairly complex logic. It
won't be just simple calls to Hadoop services. After reading your suggestion,
I spent some time today reading the Knox documentation. My takeaway (based on
limited research so far) is that there is good support for proxying and
securing requests to other REST APIs (Kerberos support is very attractive). As
far as actually developing and implementing these services, I did not come away
confident about being able to quickly develop and deploy custom JAXRS REST
services directly in Knox. I looked primarily at the
https://knox.apache.org/books/knox-0-9-1/dev-guide.html and could not find any
explanation or examples around custom JAXRS REST services. Maybe I'm just
looking in the wrong place. One of the primary benefits of Spring is that it
is very well documented, easy to get up and running, and there are a ton of
examples out there. Am I completely off here?
Maybe we can leverage both? A possibility I thought of is to develop and host
our services independent of Knox and put Knox in front to handle security.
Seems pretty standard for Knox to proxy requests to services running
independent of Knox.
