## Status Quo and Motivation The current Doris FE module has a simple http server and UI built in. The UI currently has relatively simple functions and is only used for the display of some information. At present, Doris does not use a frontend and backend separation framework, resulting in a large amount of html and js code embedded in the FE module. When we want to modify some frontend elements, we have to update and upgrade the main code, which is expensive to maintain. At the same time, the current http server is written by Netty, which has relatively simple functions. If more advanced functions are needed, a large amount of additional code needs to be written. There are already many very mature web frameworks in the industry, and we should use them to simplify our development. ## Implementation `Spring` is a very mature open source framework in the industry. It is very convenient to build a complete Web application through SpringMVC and Spring Boot. We can also easily use the spring framework to complete a series of functions such as authentication, session, and cookie. At the same time, RESTful standard API can be developed quickly. The UI code is completely stripped from the FE module. The FE module only provides standard RESTful API. This allows more flexible use of the frontend framework to develop Doris's UI interface. Here I choose to use `Vue` as the frontend framework, and I will transplant all the functions of the current WebUI to the new framework. This UI may not be the final form of the UI, but I think it is a good start, and more extensions can be made under this framework in the future. ## How to submit my code There are many code changes this time. In order to ensure that the code can be merged without affecting the trunk code, I am going to submit the code according to the following steps. 1. Submit the new version of the API document for the interface Review. 2. Submit the UI part, which is completely independent and will not affect the existing functions of the main code. Before the new version of RESTful API is enabled, this part of the code will not take effect. 3. Submit the new RESTFul API code. This part only adds files and does not modify existing functions. And this part of the function will not be enabled, so you can ensure that the trunk code can still run normally. 4. Submit a new version of HttpServer, based on Spring. This part of the code will replace the old http server implementation before, and connect the new version of the RESTful API and the new version of the UI. After the code is merged, all new functions are enabled. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
