Varun Saxena commented on YARN-4224:
------------------------------------
bq. So the UID in /entities/{entitytype}/{uid}/ is actually app UID? This make
the whole endpoint looks really weird... I thought it's an entity UID to locate
to one timeline entity. However, I think you raised a very useful use case to
query a certain type of entity for one application. Maybe we'd like to change
the format of this endpoint to address this case? I don't really feel like the
current form of the endpoint...
When I had written the code,I was assuming delimiter wont be public so UID has
to madatorily go from server. And we cant append entity type there.
As we have reached consensus on making delimiter public, UI can actually append
the entity type in front of UID. But this will have to be a special case for
entities endpoint.
bq. So to find one entity with cluster, user, flow, flowrun, appid and entity
id, we do not have the hierarchical endpoint, but can only get an entity
through the UID interface? Do we need the hierarchical interface for CLIs?
Not really. In case of hierarchical endpoint, flow context information can be
supplied as part of optional query parameters. This would preclude the need of
query flow context.
But for hierarchical queries we envisage direct queries too rather than only
flows->flowruns->apps->entities sequence when query via UID. But now as
delimiter can be public, UID endpoint can also have a direct query potentially.
So can have similar structure as for hierarchical query.
I think we can discuss all these points in detail in today's call.
