Change subject: restapi: Modified gluster volume rebalance action
......................................................................


Patch Set 5:

1) About rebalance-->startrebalance: all existing engine actions may be invoked 
asynchronously by the API, in which case they run in the background until 
completed. We didn't see this as a reason to give them all 'start' prefixes. So 
now 'startrebalance' will be an exceptional case, and we obviously prefer 
consistency. I would simply leave the name as it is. I'm interested to know 
what Michael thinks as well.  

2) You did not reply about my comment that this change would break existing 
API: if someone has a script that activates 'rebalance' this script will cease 
to work. When was this feature originally released? Can we guarantee that we're 
not breaking customer scripts? 

3) Ideally, we (meaning Engine) would supply infrastructure for stop/resume of 
jobs and querying detailed status for a job, and you would be a client of that 
infrastructure. We already have the concept of 'job' in the Engine, but right 
now we lack these abilities. Since that's the situation, it's OK by me that you 
manage it yourself, although it means that in the future we will maintain two 
separate task-handling logics.
