[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-28645) Add build information to the REST server version endpoint

["Istvan Toth (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-28645?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17885274#comment-17885274 ] 

Istvan Toth commented on HBASE-28645:
-------------------------------------

What we return is not specifically the REST server build version, but the build version of hbase-commons.
This still does not track the specific REST server build, but can be used for that if the hbase-commons jar is rebuilt and replaced together with hbase-rest.

> There is currently no way to check the REST server version / build number remotely.
> The */version/cluster* endpoint takes the version from master (fair enough),
> and the */version/rest* does not include the build information.
> We should add a version field to the /version/rest endpoint, which reports the version of the REST server component.
> We should also log this at startup, just like we log the cluster version now.
> We may have to add and store the version in the hbase-rest code during build, similarly to how do it for the other components.
