    https://github.com/apache/incubator-metron/pull/316
  
    Just updated this PR to include several changes/improvements:
    
    - Licensing documentation
    - Expanded to include more services: Kafka, SensorEnrichmentConfig, GlobalConfig, Storm, Grok, Stellar Transformations
    - Basic security
    - Swagger for testing and interacting with the API
    - Docker Spring profile for running against a Metron Docker environment
    
    Documentation for installing the REST service is included in the README.  To test in an IDE against a Metron Docker environment (assuming that is running):
    
    - change the MySQL and Hibernate dependencies from provided to compile
    - Use org.apache.metron.rest.MetronRestApplication as the main class
    - pass in "--spring.profiles.active=docker" as an argument or set the Spring profile to "docker" in your IDE
    
    During a review of the licenses we learned that the Hibernate license is not Apache friendly.  I am planning to substitute EclipseLink as the JPA implementation in the future.  This is why the Hibernate installation is a separate install step.
