Hi all,
I'd like to propose a number of changes to the mgmt stuff, please let me
know if you have concerns or objects to any of the following:
1) We rename proxy/mgmt to just mgmt/. This puts all the management
stuff outside of the proxy server itself, similar to how iocore,
librecords etc. are also outside the actual proxy server.
2) Move proxy/mgmt/cop to just cop/. Same reason above, and this puts
our three main server processes each in their own top level source tree.
3) We eliminate all of mgmt/cli entirely. This requires rewriting
traffic_line to use the "new" mgmt API (see #3), and also modify
traffic_cop to healthcheck this unix domain socket instead of the old "cli".
4) Rename mgmt/cli2 to mgmt/cli. This is the new management API, which
traffic_shell uses for example.
5) Move the layout engine out of iocore/utils, and into lib/<something>.
Either a lib/utils or lib/layout, I'm leaning towards the first
(lib/utils) to not spread things too thin.
6) If possible (might have to wait until v3.1) Change
api/remote/libmgmtapiremote.a to be a .so (e.g. libtsmgmtapi.so.3.0.0),
and also expose the appropriate header file. This would allow for easy
application building on top of the management APIs.
1) and 2) are outlined in John's proposal on the Wiki:

.
Cheers,
-- Leif
