Description

HttpServer is a wrapper for servlet containers (JSR-154), which jetty is the current implementation. HADOOP-7594 violates the abstraction by adding an implementation specific method addJerseyResource which is tied to a specific JSR-311 implementation. The motivation for adding the method is probably due to a lack of generalized addServlet API a la addFilter which takes a map of init parameters.

The straight forward solution is add a more generalized addServlet API similar to the existing addFilter API to accommodate the init parameters.
