[Hawkular-dev] Tenant Id - Not Part of URL

[Lukas Krejci]

For me, tenant ID implies authorization - otherwise there's no point in having 
multitenancy.

We use accounts for providing authz for Hawkular components.

Accounts currently only supports passing the persona ID using a header.

In future, other ways might appear.

But the point I try to make here I guess is that the way persona ID/tenant ID 
is passed to the component should be transparent as long as the component uses 
accounts for authz (and I know - metrics is the black sheep of Hawkular ;) ).

Btw. persona ID is an UUID, so using a matrix param, IMHO, would look even 
worse than using the query param which would add the ugliness of it to the end 
of the URI, not occluding the "true" path to the REST resource.
