• Id.*
  • toString() is inconsistent
  • JSON serialization is inconsistent (since sometimes we use NamespacedIdCodec and sometimes we don't)
  • Doesn't look pretty in JSON form due to heavy nesting
  • Needs lots of extra code to implement JSON codec (NamespacedIdCodec)
  • Id.Program vs Id.Flow: two classes that do the same thing
  • Constructing an a child Id.* given the parent Id.* is requires repetition
• ProgramType
  • Inconsistent in JSON form compared to other CDAP entities (using "Flow", "Mapreduce", etc. form instead of "flow", "mapreduce", etc. form to maintain backwards-compatibility)
  • SchedulableProgramType duplicates ProgramType
• ElementType
  • Only in cdap-cli
  • Doesn't cover every type of entity

Changes

• Additions
  • EntityType: enum that describes every type of entity in CDAP (namespace, application, program, program run, flowlet, flowlet queue, schedule, notification feed, artifact, system service, etc.)
  • EntityId: base class for entities in CDAP
    • No nesting
    • Consistent "static EntityId fromString(String)" and "String toString()"
    • Consistent JSON serialization and deserialization (still need custom deserializer, but it should have much less code than NamespacedIdCodec, and should support all EntityIds)
    • Easier way to construct child Ids (e.g. given a namespace id, construct app id)
• Modifications
  • Make ProgramType have consistent JSON and fix duplication between SchedulableProgramType and ProgramType
  • Deprecate Id.*
  • Remove ElementType

Examples

• EntityId construction
