[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-18712) Design HMS Api v2

["Alexander Kolbasov (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18712?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16363425#comment-16363425 ] 

Alexander Kolbasov commented on HIVE-18712:
-------------------------------------------

A few things to consider:
 # What parts of the current API work really well
 # What parts are obsolete, do not work or work poorly

There are several other considerations:
 # Transport/Encoding:
 ** Thrift
 ** HTTP
 ** gRPC
 ** Something else?
 # Security
 ** Kerberos
 ** SSL
 ** Something else?
 # Compatibility
 # API evolution

It is also worth establishing higher-level design principles. I would argue that the following are useful:
 * API should be able to deal efficiently with very large amounts of objects. 
 * It should have clear failure model
 * It should not be tailored to any specific implementation language and should work reasonably well with at least 3 different ones
 * It should support metadata needs of existing known consumers

 

Please treat items above as a starting point of discussion - I am sure there will be lots and lots of various opinions on the subject.
