Summary: Clarify WebHDFS REST API that all JSON respsonses may contain additional properties Key: HDFS-4513 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4513 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Components: documentation, webhdfs Reporter: Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE Assignee: Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE According to Section 5.4 in http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-zyp-json-schema-03.html, the default value of "additionalProperties" is an empty schema which allows any value for additional properties. Therefore, all WebHDFS JSON responses allow any additional property since the WebHDFS REST API do not specify additionalProperties. However, it is better to clarify in the API that all JSON respsonses may contain additional properties. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
