-------------------------------------------
Summary: Introduce function endpoint path templating in module
YAML specifications
Key: FLINK-20334
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-20334
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: Tzu-Li (Gordon) Tai
Fix For: statefun-2.3.0
In the current module specifications, function endpoints are defined like so:
{code}
functions:
- function:
meta:
kind: http
type: com.foo/world
spec:
endpoint: http://localhost:5959/statefun
{code}
A list of functions and their corresponding service endpoints are listed
statically in the module specification file, which is loaded once on system
startup. The system may only route messages to functions that have been
defined. This prevents users from adding new functions to the application,
without having to restart the system and reload new module specifications.
We propose that instead of specifying functions, users should specify a
"family" of function endpoints, like so:
{code}
functionEndpoints:
- functionEndpoint:
meta:
kind: http
spec:
target:
typename:
namespace: com.foo.bar
function: * # (can be wildcard * or a specific name)
urlPathTemplate: "https://bar.foo.com:8000/{typename.function}";
connectTimeout: 1min
# ... (other connection related configs that is shared for this
endpoint family)
{code}
Note how users no longer define eager state per individual function. This is
made possible by FLINK-20265, where state is now defined in the functions
instead of in the module specifications.
