Hi all, TLDR; Some of my colleagues at Imaginea are interested in building an alternate UI for Spark. Basically allow people or groups to build an alternate UI for Spark.
More Details: Looking at feasibility, it feels definitely possible to do. But we need a consensus on a public(can be experimental initially ) interface which would give access to UI in core. Given this is done, their job will be easy. Infact, it opens up a lot of possibilities for alternate UI for Apache spark. Also considering a pluggable UI - where alternate UI can just be a plugin. Ofcourse, implementing later can be a long term goal. Elasticsearch is a good example of the later approach. My knowledge on this is certainly limited. Comments and criticism appreciated. Thanks, Prashant
