             Summary: Considering changing /reserve, /unreserve endpoint syntax
                 Key: MESOS-3920
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-3920
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Neil Conway
            Priority: Minor


Right now, the "reserve" and "unreserve" endpoints work as follows:

1. slaveID is sent as a separate query parameter
2. the resources to reserve are sent as the "reserve" query parameter, where the value is encoded in JSON

This is weird, for two reasons:

1. It is more typical for POST to send the content of the new document in the request body, not as parameters to the query string (e.g., https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14551194/how-are-parameters-sent-in-an-http-post-request)
2. It is weird to mix query parameters (slaveID, resources) with JSON-encoded values. Why not just post a single JSON document with all the information required for a dynamic reservation?

Obviously, there are some backward compatibility concerns if we want to change this.
