  Cask Data, Inc. was the enterprise big-data startup, backed by Andreessen Horowitz, that built and
  open-sourced CDAP — the Cask Data Application Platform — a framework for building and running data
  analytic applications and data pipelines on Hadoop, Spark, Kubernetes, and the cloud. Cask was
  acquired by Google Cloud; CDAP continues as an Apache-2.0 open source project under the
  github.com/cdapio organization and powers Google Cloud Data Fusion. CDAP's programmatic surface is
  its HTTP RESTful "Microservices" API — 21 documented service families (Lifecycle, Artifact, Metadata,
  Metrics, Logging, Namespace, Pipeline, Preferences, Profile, Provisioners, Replication, Reports,
  Security, Service, Workflow, Monitor, Dashboard, Configuration, Transaction Service, System Workers)
  served under a /v3 path prefix from a self-hosted CDAP router, with Bearer access tokens issued by the
  CDAP authentication server. The company's own cask.co domain and developer portal are gone; the
  surviving surfaces are cdap.io, the CDAP documentation wiki, the cdapio GitHub organization, and the
  io.cdap.cdap / co.cask.cdap artifact groups on Maven Central.

  description: >-
    The CDAP HTTP RESTful API, documented as "Microservices". All endpoints sit under a /v3 path prefix
    on a self-hosted CDAP router (default port 11015, or 10443 when SSL is enabled), and are scoped by
    namespace (/v3/namespaces/<namespace-id>/...). When security is enabled every call must carry an
    Authorization: Bearer <access-token> header issued by the CDAP authentication server.

  x-deployment: self-hosted
  x-base-url-note: >-
    CDAP is self-hosted software; there is no vendor-operated public API host. The documented base URL is
    http://<host>:<port> where port defaults to 11015 (router.bind.port), or 10443 when SSL is enabled
    (router.ssl.server.port). localhost:11015 is the value CDAP's own documentation uses in its curl examples.
