Custom REST APIs in Gravitino

[adwaithadwaith]

Hi guys,
I’m exploring ways to extend Gravitino and wanted to ask about adding custom REST APIs.
Is there a way to implement custom APIs in a separate module or JAR And have Gravitino load them via configuration, without changing or forking the server code?
If that’s not possible today, is there any plan for a plugin-style extension mechanism, or is the expected approach to modify the Gravitino server ?

Thanks in advance!

When I check the configs, I do see this option:
gravitino.server.rest.extensionPackages
documented in https://gravitino.apache.org/docs/1.1.0/gravitino-server-config/#apache-gravitino-http-server-configuration

So I guess this is possible already, something like:

To add custom REST APIs:

1. Create a JAR with your custom APIs:
   @Path("/api/v1/custom")
   public class MyCustomAPI {
       @GET
       public Response myEndpoint() { ... }
   }

2. Place the JAR in Gravitino's classpath (e.g., libs/)

3. Configure gravitino.conf:
   gravitino.server.rest.extensionPackages = com.mycompany.gravitino.custom

4. Restart Gravitino

I guess that's what you're trying to do @adwaithadwaith ?

Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for.
