Maybe we should add some AdminMessage RQ/RP wire protocol structure(s) and let the controller handle it? We could then build the CLI and Shell in the project both as useful tools and samples for others.
Making a http interface should be simple after KAFKA-1494 is done which all client libraries could offer. I will update the design tonight/tomorrow and should be able to have someone starting to work on it this week. /******************************************* Joe Stein Founder, Principal Consultant Big Data Open Source Security LLC http://www.stealth.ly Twitter: @allthingshadoop ********************************************/ On Oct 19, 2014 1:21 PM, "Harsha" <ka...@harsha.io> wrote: > +1 for Web Api > > On Sat, Oct 18, 2014, at 11:48 PM, Glen Mazza wrote: > > Apache Karaf has been doing this for quite a few years, albeit in Java > > not Scala.
