          "dataworker.defaultFs" : "hdfs://<server>:8020"
        }
      },
      "resources" : [
        {
          "href" : "http://<server>:8080/api/v1/views/FILES/versions/0.1.0/instances/FILES_1/resources/files",

#####Create Instance
New view instances may be created through the API.

    POST http://<server>:8080/api/v1/views/FILES/versions/0.1.0/instances/FILES_2
    
#####Update Instance
The properties of a view instance may be updated through the API.

    PUT http://<server>:8080/api/v1/views/FILES/versions/0.1.0/instances/FILES_2
    [{
      "ViewInstanceInfo" : {
          "properties" : {
            "dataworker.defaultFs" : "hdfs://MyServer:8020"
          }
        }
    }]

#####Delete Instance
A view instances may be deleted through the API.

    DELETE http://<server>:8080/api/v1/views/FILES/versions/0.1.0/instances/FILES_2
    

#####Resources
A view resource may be accessed through the REST API.  The href for each view resource can be found in a request for the parent view instance.  The resource endpoints and behavior depends on the implementation of the JAX-RS annotated service class specified for the resource element in the view.xml. 

    GET http://<server>:8080/api/v1/views/FILES/versions/0.1.0/instances/FILES_1/resources/files/fileops/listdir?path=%2F
    
    [{"path":"/app-logs","replication":0,"isDirectory":true,"len":0,"owner":"yarn","group":"hadoop","permission":"-rwxrwxrwx","accessTime":0,"modificationTime":1400006792122,"blockSize":0},{"path":"/mapred","replication":0,"isDirectory":true,"len":0,"owner":"mapred","group":"hdfs","permission":"-rwxr-xr-x","accessTime":0,"modificationTime":1400006653817,"blockSize":0},{"path":"/mr-history","replication":0,"isDirectory":true,"len":0,"owner":"hdfs","group":"hdfs","permission":"-rwxr-xr-x","accessTime":0,"modificationTime":1400006653822,"blockSize":0},{"path":"/tmp","replication":0,"isDirectory":true,"len":0,"owner":"hdfs","group":"hdfs","permission":"-rwxrwxrwx","accessTime":0,"modificationTime":1400006720415,"blockSize":0},{"path":"/user","replication":0,"isDirectory":true,"len":0,"owner":"hdfs","group":"hdfs","permission":"-rwxr-xr-x","accessTime":0,"modificationTime":1400006610050,"blockSize":0}]

#####Managed Resources
Any managed resources for a view may also be accessed through the REST API.  Note that instances of a managed resource appear as sub-resources of an instance under the plural name specified for the resource in the view.xml.  In this example, a list of managed resources named **'scripts'** is included in the response for the view instance … 
 
    GET http://<server>:8080/api/v1/views/PIG/versions/0.1.0/instances/INSTANCE_1
    
    {
      "href" : "http://<server>:8080/api/v1/views/PIG/versions/0.1.0/instances/INSTANCE_1",
      "ViewInstanceInfo" : {
        "context_path" : "/views/PIG/0.1.0/INSTANCE_1",
        "instance_name" : "INSTANCE_1",
        "version" : "0.1.0",
        "view_name" : "PIG",
        "instance_data" : { },
        "properties" : {
          … 
        }
      },
      "resources" : [ ],
      "scripts" : [
        {
          "href" : "http://<server>:8080/api/v1/views/PIG/versions/0.1.0/instances/INSTANCE_1/scripts/script1",
          "id" : "script1",
          "instance_name" : "INSTANCE_1",
          "version" : "0.1.0",
          "view_name" : "PIG"
        },
        {
          "href" : "http://<server>:8080/api/v1/views/FILES/versions/0.1.0/instances/INSTANCE_1/scripts/script2",
          "id" : "script2",
          "instance_name" : "INSTANCE_1",
          "version" : "0.1.0",
          "view_name" : "PIG"
        },
        …
      ]
    }
    
 
To get a single managed resource …
    
    
    GET http://<server>:8080/api/v1/views/PIG/versions/0.1.0/instances/INSTANCE_1/scripts/script1
    
    
    {
      "href" : "http://<server>:8080/api/v1/views/PIG/versions/0.1.0/instances/INSTANCE_1/scripts/script1",
      "id" : "script1",      
      "pigScript" : "… ",
      "pythonScript" : "… ",
      "templetonArguments" : "… ",
      "dateCreated" : … ,
      "owner" : "… ",
      "instance_name" : "INSTANCE_1",
      "version" : "0.1.0",
      "view_name" : "PIG"
    }
    
Because the resource is managed through the Ambari API framework, it may be queried using partial response and query predicates.  For example …
 
    GET http://<server>:8080/api/v1/views/PIG/versions/0.1.0/instances/INSTANCE_1/scripts?fields=pythonScript&owner=jsmith
