Juntao Hu updated FLINK-35302:
------------------------------
    Description: 
As 
[FLIP-401|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/FLIP-401%3A+REST+API+JSON+response+deserialization+unknown+field+tolerance]
 and FLINK-33258 mentioned, when an old version REST client receives response 
from a new version REST server, with strict JSON mapper, the client will throw 
exceptions on newly added fields, which is not convenient for situations where 
a centralized client deals with REST servers of different versions (e.g. k8s 
operator).

But this incompatibility can also happens at server side, when a new version 
REST client sends requests to an old version REST server with additional 
fields. Making server flexible with unknown fields can save clients from 
backward compatibility code.
