[jira] [Commented] (ACCUMULO-3805) No means to monitor/interact with FATE programmatically

["Eric Newton (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3805?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14544247#comment-14544247 ] 

Eric Newton commented on ACCUMULO-3805:
---------------------------------------

Brainstorming ideas:

* expose the FATE component steps:
** initiate the transaction
** get the result, with timeout
** add calls to get status
* augment the status with:
** started / waiting
** running / ready
** last update time
** identity of the requester
* add an API to fetch the transactions and their status

> With FATE, we have the ability to have strong tracking of operations. However, we hide a lot of this from the client. We have admin utilities plumbed into the shell (FateCommand), but they're not actual APIs. This means there is no API available for failing/deleting/listing fate operations, but it also means there no way to be aware of the txid for a fate operation. This is critical for instances where a potentially distributed client wants to perform a FATEd operation.
> In an ideal world, client would be able to pre-seed the transaction, as we do now, and then issue the command with that id. This would allow the client to be aware of the transaction before it's started so it could be shared.
