One GL-Service server for all IMGT/HLADB versions #238

Open mmaiers-nmdp opened 6 years ago

mmaiers-nmdp commented 6 years ago

Currently there needs to be one GL-Service for each IMGT/HLADB version. It might be easier to administrate if there was one GL-Service that was updated periodically instead of standing up another server for each version. Currently the service at https://gl.nmdp.org is 4 releases behind so the current setup clearly has an administrative burden that is too high

The service was designed for one namespace (which for IMGT/HLADB use includes the version) per service instance. It might be possible to redesign for less compile-time configuration.

In any case, I agree the administrative effort required for a new version is too much, and it is a rather messy process.
