> > Hi [@lsyulong](https://github.com/lsyulong) , thanks for propose the degisn. I'm wondering if we can abstract the REST server interface, so that Paimon, Iceberg, or other engines like Lance can implement this interface. At the same time, we can perform auditing, metadata management, and other tasks within the interface. However, currently, the REST specifications of various engines are different, so it may not be easy to achieve this. > > [@neuyilan](https://github.com/neuyilan) teacher,Thank you for proposing the abstraction of REST server interfaces! This is indeed an architectural question worth deep discussion. > > I think there are two feasible approaches: > > Approach 1: Abstract Unified Interface > > Advantages: Code reuse, unified management, good maintainability Challenges: May require refactoring the existing Iceberg REST server, designing an abstraction layer for REST servers Approach 2: Independent REST Server Implementation > > Advantages: Simple implementation, high flexibility, risk isolation Challenges: Code duplication, maintenance costs Considering Gravitino's current development stage and community resources, I suggest we start with Approach 2 for the following reasons: > > Incremental Development: We can get the Paimon REST server up and running quickly to gain experience Risk Reduction: Avoid refactoring that could impact the existing stable Iceberg REST server - would we need additional testing for the current Iceberg REST server? Requirements Validation: Implement multiple REST servers first, then abstract a better, more flexible abstraction layer that fits Gravitino's architecture, allowing us to better validate and test based on actual experience Of course, these are just my personal thoughts. If you have better ideas or designs for the abstract unified interface, we can discuss them together - I'd love to learn from you! Whether using Plan 1 or Plan 2, if manpower is needed, I am more than happy to participate in the improvement of this feature -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
