## Asynchronous Endpoints

**Please ensure proper use of UUIDs or cookies to interact with async endpoints.**

Selected Cruise Control (CC) endpoints accept async calls to avoid blocking more than a configured period of time 
(via `webserver.request.maxBlockTimeMs` configuration).
If the server-side processing of such requests takes more than this configured time, along with a with `SC_ACCEPTED` code, 
CC returns a progress response.
This response contains both (1) a `sessionId`, and (2) a UUID corresponding to the client cookie and the request, respectively.
The completed response of an in-progress request can be retrieved within a predefined time.
Using cookies, this response can be retrieved before the timeout is configured via `webserver.session.maxExpiryTimeMs`.
Using the UUID, the timeout is configured via relevant completed user task retention time configuration 
(see `completed.kafka.monitor.user.task.retention.time.ms`, `completed.cruise.control.monitor.user.task.retention.time.ms`,
`completed.kafka.admin.user.task.retention.time.ms`, `completed.cruise.control.admin.user.task.retention.time.ms`,
and `completed.user.task.retention.time.ms` ).

### UUIDs

Here is an example how to use **UUID** with requests using `cURL`:

1. Create a new request

 `curl -vv -X POST "http://CRUISE_CONTROL_HOST:9090/kafkacruisecontrol/remove_broker?brokerid=1234&dryrun=false"`

2. Retrieve the `User-Task-ID` from response header, e.g. `User-Task-ID: 5ce7c299-53b3-48b6-b72e-6623e25bd9a8`

3. Specifying the `User-Task-ID` in request that has not completed

 `curl -vv -X POST -H "User-Task-ID: 5ce7c299-53b3-48b6-b72e-6623e25bd9a8" "http://CRUISE_CONTROL_HOST:9090/kafkacruisecontrol/remove_broker?brokerid=1234&dryrun=false"`

### Cookies

Here is an example of how to use **cookies** with requests using `cURL`:

1. Create a cookie associated with a new request

 `curl -X POST -c /tmp/mycookie-jar.txt "http://CRUISE_CONTROL_HOST:9090/kafkacruisecontrol/remove_broker?brokerid=1234&dryrun=false"`

2. Use an existing cookie from the created file for a request that has not completed

 `curl -X POST -b /tmp/mycookie-jar.txt "http://CRUISE_CONTROL_HOST:9090/kafkacruisecontrol/remove_broker?brokerid=1234&dryrun=false"`

Note that a `User-Task-ID` or a `sessionId` and is applicable for an entire `URL`, including its parameters. Hence, the same endpoint with different parameters would create and use a different `User-Task-Id`.

If the number of workload snapshots for the given timestamp is not sufficient to generate a good load model, an exception will be returned.

Timestamp for `start`/`end`/`time` is in milliseconds since the epoch; what `System.currentTimeMillis()` returns.  The time zone is the time zone of the Cruise Control server.

If `allow_capacity_estimation` is set to `true`, for brokers missing capacity information Cruise Control will make estimations based on other brokers in the cluster; otherwise an `IllegalStateException` will be thrown and shown in response.

The response contains both load-per-broker and load-per-host information. This is specifically useful when multiple brokers are hosted by the same machine.

NOTE: The load shown is only for the load from the valid partitions. i.e the partitions with enough metric samples. So please always check the `LoadMonitor`'s state(via `State` endpoint) to decide whether the workload is representative enough.

### Query partition resource utilization

The returned result would be a partition list sorted by the utilization of the specified resource in the time range specified by `start` and `end`. The resource can be `CPU`, `NW_IN`, `NW_OUT` and `DISK`. By default, the `start` is the earliest monitored time, the `end` is current wall clock time, `resource` is `DISK`, and `entries` is the all partitions in the cluster.

By specifying `topic`,`partition` and/or `brokerid` parameter, client can filter returned partition entries.

The `min_valid_partition_ratio` specifies minimal monitored valid partition percentage needed to calculate the partition load. If this parameter is not set in request, the config value `min.valid.partition.ratio` will be used.

The `max_load` parameter specifies whether report the maximal historical value or not. The `avg_load` parameter specifies whether report the average historical value or not. If both are not specified or specified as `false`, for `DISK` resource, latest value will be reported; for `NW_IN`/`NW_OUT`/`CPU` resource, average value will be reported.

Proposal can be generated based on **valid_window** or **valid_partitions**.

**valid_windows:** rebalance the cluster based on the information in the available valid snapshot windows. A valid snapshot window is a windows whose valid monitored partitions coverage meets the requirements of all the goals. (This is the default behavior)

**valid_partitions:** rebalance the cluster based on all the available valid partitions. All the snapshot windows will be included in this case.

Users can only specify either `valid_windows` or `valid_partitions`, but not both.

Kafka cruise control tries to precompute the optimization proposal in the background and caches the best proposal to serve when user queries. If users want to have a fresh proposal without reading it from the proposal cache, set the `ignore_proposal_cache` flag to true. The precomputing always uses available valid partitions to generate the proposals.

By default the proposal will be returned from the cache where all the pre-defined goals are used. Detailed information about the reliability of the proposals will also be returned. If users want to run with a different set of goals, they can specify the `goals` parameter with the goal names (simple class name).

If `verbose` is turned on, Cruise Control will return all the generated proposals. Otherwise a summary of the proposals will be returned.

If `kafka_assigner` is turned on, the proposals will be generated in Kafka Assigner mode,i.e. Cruise Control behaves like [kafka assigner tool](https://github.com/linkedin/kafka-tools/wiki/Kafka-Assigner). This mode performs optimizations using the goals specific to Kafka Assigner -- i.e. goals with name `KafkaAssigner*`.

Users can specify `excluded_topics` to prevent certain topics' replicas from moving in the generated proposals.

If `use_ready_default_goals` is turned on, Cruise Control will use whatever ready goals(based on available metric data) to calculate the proposals.

### Query the user request result
The following get request allows user to get a full list of all the active/completed(and not recycled) tasks inside Cruise Control, with their initial request detail(request time/IP address/request URL and parameter) and UUID information. User can then use the returned UUID and URL to fetch the original final result of the specific request.

    GET /kafkacruisecontrol/user_tasks

Supported parameters are:

| PARAMETER             | TYPE      | DESCRIPTION                                                                           | DEFAULT              | OPTIONAL  |

User can use `user_task_ids`/`client_ids`/`endpoints`/`types` make Cruise Control only return requests they are interested. By default all the requests get returned.

If `fetch_completed_task` is set to `true`, the original response of each request will be returned. In the case where a task completed with errors the response will be `CompletedWithError`.

### Query user permissions

The following get request will return the currently authenticated user's permissions as a list of the assigned user roles. The role list can include any of the following: `"ADMIN"`, `"USER"` and `"VIEWER"`. 

    GET /kafkacruisecontrol/permissions

Supported parameters are:

In case there is no security enabled in the Kafka Cluster, the request will return with `400` HTTP error code and the following message: `"Unable to retrieve privilege information for an unsecure connection". 

## POST Requests
The post requests of Kafka Cruise Control REST API are operations that will have impact on the Kafka cluster. The post operations include:
* [Trigger a workload balance](#trigger-a-workload-balance)
* [Add a list of new brokers to Kafka Cluster](#add-a-list-of-new-brokers-to-kafka-cluster)
* [Decommission a list of brokers from the Kafka cluster](#decommission-a-list-of-brokers-from-the-kafka-cluster)

Similar to the [GET interface for getting proposals](https://github.com/linkedin/cruise-control/wiki/REST-APIs/_edit#get-optimization-proposals), the rebalance can also be based on available valid windows or available valid partitions.

User can specify goals to use for rebalance via `goals` parameter. When `goals` is provided, the cached proposals will be ignored.

When rebalancing a cluster, all the brokers in the cluster(except recently removed/demoted brokers if `exclude_recently_removed_brokers`/`exclude_recently_demoted_brokers` set to `true`) are eligible to give / receive replicas. All the brokers will be throttled during the partition movement. The throttling can be set in two ways.

* By throttling number of replica concurrently moving into a broker. It is gated by the request parameter `concurrent_partition_movements_per_broker` or config value `num.concurrent.partition.movements.per.broker` (if request parameter is not set), `concurrent_intra_partition_movements` or config value `num.concurrent.intra.broker.partition.movements`. Similarly, the number of concurrent partition leadership changes is gated by request parameter `concurrent_leader_movements` or config value `num.concurrent.leader.movements`.
* By throttling the bandwidth used to move replicas into a broker. It is gated by the request parameter `replication_throttle` or config value `default.replication.throttle` (if request parameter is not set).

When adding new brokers to a Kafka cluster, Cruise Control makes sure that the **replicas will only be moved from the existing brokers to the provided new broker**, but not moved among existing brokers. 

Users can choose whether to throttle replica movement to the newly added broker via `throttle_added_broker`, in either case, the replica movement out of current broker are throttled, and the throttling can be set in the same way as [`rebalance` request](#trigger-a-workload-balance).

Similar to adding brokers to a cluster, removing brokers from a cluster will **only move partitions from the brokers to be removed to the other existing brokers**. There won't be partition movements among remaining brokers. And user can specify the destination broker for these replica movement via `destination_broker_ids` parameter.

Like adding brokers, users can choose whether to throttle the removed broker during the partition movement. If the removed brokers are throttled, the number of partitions concurrently moving out of a broker, number of concurrent partition leadership changes and bandwidth used for replica movement are gated in the same way as add_broker above.

**Note if the topics specified in `excluded_topics` has replicas on the removed broker, the replicas will still get moved off the broker.**

Likewise, users can throttle partition movement, the throttling can be set in the same way as [`rebalance` request](#trigger-a-workload-balance).

**Note if the topics specified in `excluded_topics` has offline replicas, the replicas will still get moved to healthy brokers.**

### Demote a list of brokers from the Kafka cluster
The following POST request moves all the leader replicas away from a list of brokers.

Demoting a broker/disk is consist of tow steps.
  * Make all the replicas on given broker/disk the least preferred replicas for leadership election
    within their corresponding partitions
  * Trigger a preferred leader election on the partitions to migrate the leader replicas off the broker/disk

Set `skip_urp_demotion` to false will cancel outstanding operations if partitions stay under replicated; Set `exclude_follower_demotion` will skip operations on the partitions which only have follower replicas on the brokers/disks to be demoted. The purpose of the former is to prevent the URP recovery process from blocking the demotion execution, the latter ensures that the demotion operation is limited to leaders.

### Stop the current proposal execution task
The following POST request will let Kafka Cruise Control stop an ongoing `rebalance`, `add_broker`,  `remove_broker`, `fix_offline_replica`, `topic_configuration` or `demote_broker` operation:

Changing topic's replication factor will not move any existing replicas. `goals` are used to determine which replica to be deleted(to decrease topic's replication factor) and which broker to assign new replica (to increase topic's replication factor).

Note sometimes the topic regex can be too long to put at POST request head, in this case user can specify topic regex and target replication factor pairs in POST request body. For details, check [Change-topic-replication-factor-through-Cruise-Control wiki page](https://github.com/linkedin/cruise-control/wiki/Change-topic-replication-factor-through-Cruise-Control).

### Change Cruise Control configuration
Some Cruise Control configs can be changed dynamically via `admin` endpoint, which includes
* Dynamically change the partition and leadership concurrency and the interval between checking and updating (if needed) the progress of an ongoing execution.
* Enable/disable self-healing for the specified anomaly types.
* Drop selected recently removed/demoted brokers.
* Enable/disable the specified concurrency adjusters.
* Enable/disable the (At/Under)MinISR-based concurrency adjustment.

### 2-step Verification

2-step verification aims to help users verify the command they (or their peers) intend to run by letting them review requests explicitly to approve or discard them, and enable execution of only the approved requests. Read [2 step verification for POST requests](https://github.com/linkedin/cruise-control/wiki/2-step-verification-for-POST-requests) for more detail.

### Rightsize the cluster with the Provisioner
The following POST request can create a request to the provisioner to rightsize the broker or partition of a cluster.
