[Hawkular-dev] open shift agent - what to call it?

[Matt Wringe]

>From my comments earlier today:


"The agent itself should only be using the Kubernetes API and shouldn't have anything specific to OpenShift. So the agent here shouldn't care or know if its really connecting to Kubernetes or OpenShift.

The problem is more that the Hawkular Metrics integration we have with OpenShift wont work in plain Kubernetes and we don't test it there. It would be possible to make it work on Kubernetes, but it wouldn't be a trivial change and would take some effort and testing to get it working there. We don't have the spare cycles or manpower to support the Kubernetes use case right now and this isn't even on our radar. It might be cool to have something usable with the upstream Kubernetes community though."

Since we don't have a Hawkular Metrics version that is being used and tested in Kubernetes, I would be against using a name with 'Kubernetes' in it at this moment. Its going to be confusing to anyone who wants to try this in the Kubernetes directly, as the agent may work, but what it writes to will not.

We may also want to add in some OpenShift specific features in there as well.

I would vote to call it the "Hawkular OpenShift Agent" rather than the "Hawkular Kubernetes Agent" for these reasons.
