Folks,
Austin, Dennis, and Milan have identified the following issues with
current Pulp3 REST API design:
* Action endpoints are problematic.
o Example POST@/importers/<plugin>/sync/
o They are non-RESTful and would make client code tightly
coupled with the server code.
o These endpoints are inconsistent with the other parts of the
REST API.
o DRF is not being used as intended for action endpoints so we
have to implement extra code. (against the grain)

* We don't have a convention for where plug-in-specific, custom
repository version creation endpoints.
o example POST@/api/v3/<where?>/docker/add/
o needs to be discoverable through the schema
+1
* For direct repository version creation, plugins are not involved.
o validation correctness problem:

o example: POST@/api/v3/repositories/<repository_id>/versions/
Looks like half of the plugins will need to participate in creating
repository versions (outside of sync). The API design should take a
consistent approach to creating repository versions (/add/ _and_ /sync/).
We would like to get feedback on these issues being sound and worth
resolving before we resume particular solution discussion[1].
Thanks,
Austin, Dennis, and Milan
