[RM HA] Rest api endpoints doing redirect incorrectly

    XMLWordPrintableJSON

Details

    Description

      The standby RM's webui tries to do a redirect via meta-refresh. That is fine for pages designed to be viewed by web browsers. But the API endpoints shouldn't do that. Most programmatic HTTP clients do not do meta-refresh. I'd suggest HTTP 303, or return a well-defined error message (json or xml) stating that the standby status and a link to the active RM.

      The standby RM is returning this today:

      $ curl -i http://bcsec-1.ent.cloudera.com:8088/ws/v1/cluster/metrics
      HTTP/1.1 200 OK

      This is standby RM. Redirecting to the current active RM: http://bcsec-2.ent.cloudera.com:8088/ws/v1/cluster/metrics
