If we put our case aside, the purpose of the JSON converters is to convert to/from JSON so it is fair to expect that we have to maintain this contract by default. Changing it to return the size would break this contract. Regarding `_node.set("recordSet", new BinaryNode(new byte[]{}));`, I do believe that this is a bug actually... > That said, implementing a verbose mode (3) where we print out a byte array seems reasonable if we don't use it in the trace logging path by default? Agreed. When logging requests/responses, we should stick to the non-verbose mode. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
