Description

Currently HttpServer listens to HTTP port and provides a method to allow the users to add an SSL listeners after the server starts. This complicates the logic if the client needs to set up HTTP / HTTPS serverfs.

This jira proposes to replace these two methods with the concepts of listener endpoints. A listener endpoints is a URI (i.e., scheme + host + port) that the HttpServer should listen to. This concept simplifies the task of managing the HTTP server from HDFS / YARN.
