MZMcBride,
the two RFCs that originally discussed RESTBase are:
-
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Storage_service
-
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Content_API
They were both originally discussed at the arch summit in January 2014.
We have since had two more RFC meetings on the subject, most recently
November 20th, 2014.
Regarding search, the implementation started out as two separate services
(Rashomon and RESTFace), which then morphed into RESTBase as we learned
about the use cases and access patterns.
Hope that helps,
Gabriel

Hi.
There's been quite a bit of discussion about RESTBase lately. Is there a
request for comments on
mediawiki.org about RESTBase? I looked at
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment> and didn't see one.
From my limited understanding of what's being proposed, I'd personally be
a lot more comfortable with the idea if someone from both the software
architecture side (Brion, Tim, or equivalent) and someone from the
operations side (Mark, Faidon, Giuseppe, or equivalent) weighed in and
signed off on what's being proposed. This may have already happened
somewhere, but I didn't see anything in my brief searching and poking
around on pages such as <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/RESTBase>.
