Description

The shell scripts we currently use to start and stop jobs are mostly specific to YARN and are not well documented APIs. This puts some burden on developers, which may develop a Samza solution with a YARN alternative or try to integrate Samza with other services like dashboards.

This ticket is to discuss the addition of a REST API to start, stop and get status for jobs. Such an API could be extended for other use cases like modifying checkpoints, getting stack traces, getting logs, etc.
