REST APIs

REST APIs

[John Spray]

Hi all,

This message is prompted by: https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/17530

Questions:
 - Is anyone using either ceph-rest-api or the restful module?
 - Is anyone planning on doing any work on either?
 - Is the CLI pass through of the restful module a sufficient
replacement for ceph-rest-api for anyone that was using it?

Hi,

I still plan to port the v1 endpoints from calamari to the restful
module so that it provides a full replacement for calamari rest api and
so that it could be used by projects like tendlr.

We do document the restful module in the RHCEPH product and several
people are/were interested in it. I did not hear of any product/app
being built on top of it yet though.

We can extend the pass through method in the restful module so that it
is more user friendly for a more robust/useful replacement of the ceph-
rest-api.

Regards,
Boris

This sounds very useful to me - have REST API's let us plug into various 
frameworks in a standard way.

thanks!

I don't think anyone objects in principle to the idea of a rest api,
the issue has been whether anyone is actually up for maintaining a
complete one, and the difficulty of doing that without any real users
to notice when something is broken.

Thanks for the heads up.

FWIW, openATTIC does not make use of ceph-rest-api and we don't have
plans on using it.

However, AFAIK Inkscope [1] relies on it to perform its duty - I have
pinged the author (Alain Dechorgnat) in the pull request to get his opinion.
