Feature #10865
Updated by Ward Vandewege about 8 years ago
h3. Background
Currently install docs say the jobs API (crunch1) is deprecated, but the installation procedure results in a system that tries to run crunch1 jobs.
h3. Requirements
A site that is already using the Jobs API should have the Jobs API enabled by default (but the sysadmin should be able to disable it).
A new install should have the Jobs API disabled by default (but the sysadmin should be able to enable it).
h3. Implementation
Add a config entry:
<pre>
# Enable the legacy Jobs API.
# auto -- (default) enable the Jobs API only if it has been used before
# (i.e., there are job records in the database)
# true -- enable the Jobs API despite lack of existing records.
# false -- disable the Jobs API despite presence of existing records.
enable_legacy_jobs_api: auto
</pre>
If the legacy jobs API is disabled according to this config knob, API server should automatically disable all of the Jobs APIs, i.e., implicitly add these to Rails.configuration.disable_api_methods:
[jobs.create, pipeline_instances.create, pipeline_templates.create, jobs.get, pipeline_instances.get, pipeline_templates.get, jobs.list, pipeline_instances.list, pipeline_templates.list, jobs.index, pipeline_instances.index, pipeline_templates.index, jobs.update, pipeline_instances.update, pipeline_templates.update, jobs.queue, jobs.queue_size, job_tasks.create, job_tasks.get, job_tasks.list, job_tasks.index, job_tasks.update, jobs.show, pipeline_instances.show, pipeline_templates.show, jobs.show, job_tasks.show]
Update the install documentation:
Add the enable_legacy_jobs_api option to the "Configure the API server" section on http://doc.arvados.org/install/install-api-server.html
