[Proposal] Support storing apps in a Configuration Package
Hi All,
Apex supports configuration package, separates application package from the
actual configuration. (http://docs.datatorrent.com/configuration_packages/)
We want to enhance the configuration package by adding support to "add
Apps" (json format).
UseCase: Multiple users sharing the same app package, but have a different
view of the golden copy of the app package.
Note: This feature is requested by an Apex user.
Thanks

Configuration packages will contain JSON apps.
During an app launch users can choose to see and launch only the apps
present in the Config package.
It is like a hub and spoke model, single AppPackage and multiple custom
views.
Initial work is here,

Sounds promising. Perhaps you can elaborate if it mean that we're adding
JSON apps to the Configuration Packages spec? Or that we're providing
support to link Configuration Packages to existing App Package Apps? Or
something else?
Thanks,

Sandesh,
Can you describe the use case a little more?
Is it about different users adding/viewing their own apps to the same copy
of app package? Or is it a base copy of app package that different users
can take and start working off of and adding more apps?
Regards,
Ashwin.
