Hi everyone, After reviewing the functionality offered by the Thermos Commandline tool vs. what’s exported via the Thermos Observer, I was hoping to bring up a question I had:
Can we deprecate the Thermos CLI? Removing this would decrease the number of components required for a functional Aurora installation (a huge victory, in my opinion) and also enable the Observer to fully take over the duty of providing visibility into what’s running on a most. In addition, maintenance is performed via the HostMaintenance API <https://github.com/apache/incubator-aurora/blob/master/src/main/python/apache/aurora/admin/host_maintenance.py#L26> and should not be done using thermos kill, which would cause LOST tasks. That said, removing this tool makes it much more difficult for Thermos to be used as a monit <http://mmonit.com/monit/> replacement, which is actually rather feasible now. In addition, it also forces people to remember + learn the port the Observer is running on in order to get information about tasks. Any thoughts and opinions would be much appreciated! Thanks! Joe
