rest api install service

[#1]

in attempt to use the rest api to install the service rather than blueprints creating service yields 400 error with a cryptic "No repositories were found for service installation"

curl -vX POST -u admin:admin --header "X-Requested-By: ambari" -d '{"ServiceInfo":{"service_name":"ZOOKEEPER"}}' http://myhost:8080/api/v1/clusters/testCluster/services

"status" : 400,
"message" : "No repositories were found for service installation"

if i check my repository_version as so

http://myhost:8080/api/v1/stacks/HDP/versions/2.6/repository_versions/
{
  "href" : "http://myhost:8080/api/v1/stacks/HDP/versions/2.6/repository_versions/",
  "items" : [
    {
      "href" : "http://myhost:8080/api/v1/stacks/HDP/versions/2.6/repository_versions/1",
      "RepositoryVersions" : {
        "id" : 1,
        "stack_name" : "HDP",
        "stack_version" : "2.6"
      }
    }
  ]
}

It seems that there was a recent commit which added this but there are no new examples which specify where and how this repository id is to be supplied ?

What is the correct way to add a service to a cluster ?

Also where are all the payload definition references ?

so this works; probably the documentation needs to be updated

curl -vX POST -u admin:admin --header "X-Requested-By: ambari"-d '{"ServiceInfo":{"service_name":"ZOOKEEPER", "desired_repository_version_id":1}}' http://myhost:8080/api/v1/clusters/testCluster/services
