             Summary: Add support for custom commands through the agent
                 Key: SLIDER-664
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLIDER-664
             Project: Slider
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: agent, agent-provider, app-package
    Affects Versions: Slider 0.60
            Reporter: Sumit Mohanty
            Assignee: Sumit Mohanty
            Priority: Critical


Slider application package allows defining of arbitrary commands. However, there is no way to execute these arbitrary commands using the Slider command line. A basic approach can be as follows:

* App developer defines a custom command say "COMMAND" and a python function is mapped to this command in the same way as "START" or "INSTALL".
* Using Slider-Agent the command can be issued against specific containers identified by the container id
* While issuing commands, optional properties (name-value pairs) may be provided
* Once command is issued a command id is returned that can be used to retrieve the command result
* Command execution or the result is not persisted by Slider - so it is a best effort execution
