Hello,
With the preamble of my opinion not being an authoritative point of
view at all, I should point out that Java/JVM based services are not
especially loved in WMF. Ops does not feel it has the capability of
supporting them. There are a few around like Gerrit, Cassandra,
ElasticSearch, Kafka but none of these is actually maintained by ops.
All of these have owners/maintainers outside of ops (entire teams in
some cases), with varying degrees of success. The question of whether
it should be Tomcat or Jetty, is a valid one, but serves to alleviate
only part of the problem (it's not like Ops hate tomcat but like
Jetty). So, there are probably a few social/administrative issues that
it might make sense to address first before handling the technical
part.
I think what you means is : if the service is online,for administration ,
a maintainer or a team is needed just like Gerrit,Cassandra, and
ElasticSearch did. Not maintained by the OPs. The team need to be set
first. Am I right?
