request help: control API for go plugin

[1696228062]

Issue description

What should I do if I want to use the control API in the go plugin? Or is there any other solution to achieve similar functions

Environment

• APISIX Go Plugin Runner's version:0.3.0
• APISIX version: 2.14
• Go version: 1.15
• OS (cmd: uname -a): linux

I can't get your point, do you want to register control api in go runner? Can you describe your use case in detail?

[1696228062]

我在apisix新增了一个自定义的go插件， 我希望这个插件能提供一个对内的api，从而让我的内部脚本可以通过http请求的方式调用，来触发插件内的一些缓存更新的逻辑。
比如， 我的go plugin内有一个全局变量 a int 缓存了一个值为 1
我期望，我能在go plugin内开一个接口， 当此接口被调用，go plugin内的全局变量a 的值变为2

You can start an http service in your own go-runner, expose your API, and then create a route in APISIX to protect your API interface.

I need this feature too ;-)

IMO, though exposing a new http service in the go-runner is a feasible solution, I do think that the APISIX control API is somewhere more suitable.

[soulbird]

Do you mean that the control api in APISIX can also take effect in go runner, or use golang alone to support control api in go runner?

[oyiadin]

I mean, to register control api like what we can did in lua: https://apisix.apache.org/docs/apisix/plugin-develop/#register-control-api Maybe we should add another RPC event for this purpose.

[oyiadin]

If we decide to implement this feature, IMO, we should support it in every language that APISIX supports: go, python and java. Not only golang

If it is to implement the same feature as in Lua, it seems that it can only be supported in go-plugin-runner, and it is not necessary to add an RPC event to interact with APISIX.
