We can, but they won't necessarily look the same, because it is unlikely we can make a sane 1:1 translation of the CLI to REST that makes sense, and it would be nice to avoid baking knowledge about the individual commands into the client side. ceph osd pool create <poolname> <numpgs> vs /osd/pool/?op=create&poolname=foo&numpgs=bar or whatever. I know next to nothing about REST API design best practices, but I'm guessing it doesn't look like a CLI. sage -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
