This standalone script is intended to be started separately, possibly from a systemd unit-file. It will check, every 3 sec, for presence of a file named RESTART_RIAK in /run/riak, and execute `riak stop; riak start` if that file exists. The idea is to enable a full restart of riak initiated by an operator action taken remotely in riak_control (i.e., over http), in a situation when `riak restart` is insufficient (importantly, restarting riak this way will not cause cuttlefish to read and process riak.conf and advanced.config). This idea becomes especially useful in combination with remote editing and pushing advanced.config and riak.conf, implemented in riak_control, allowing operators entirely remotely to configure riak nodes and do a rolling restart subsequently, all without a need to have ssh and root access to riak boxes.

If the permissions check depends on action - then action should be in the request line (e.g. URL, method, query parameter), and not the body. That way a) the flow of the functions in the This would align with the KV API - where the activity (and the Bucket) can be determined from the URI so controls can be applied via standard proxy filter rules. |

I agree. I'll have it as a query parameter. |

This PR introduces riak_admin_api, a new app that exposes a well-defined API over HTTP to enable external control and management of riak clusters.
The difference from the previous attempt (OpenRiak/riak_kv#125) is in that:
