             Summary: Let PQS Act As An Admin Tool Endpoint
                 Key: PHOENIX-6074
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-6074
             Project: Phoenix
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: queryserver
            Reporter: Mehdi Salarkia
            Assignee: Mehdi Salarkia


In our production environment we need to create a lot of indexes and use indexTool to build the index also sometime use tools like indexScrutiny to verify the health and status of indexes, etc.

PQS can act as a REST API end point (proxy) that allows developers to call and run commands that phoenix currently support via command line only:
 * IndexTool
 * IndexScrutiny

Benefits:
 # Allow developers to develop tools in their application to run and integrate phoenix command line tools into their application without a human intervention.
 # Remove unnecessary access permission to production from non admins.
 # Simplify the Index management (or any other future command line tool that will be added to phoenix) and remove the possibility of human error, etc.

I was looking at the implementation PHOENIX-5827 as an example. I think we can simply define a new context and use that to trigger phoenix command line tools from PQS and return the result (perhaps the MR job link,...) to the client.
