Ryan Merriman created METRON-1771: ------------------------------------- Summary: Update REST endpoints to support eventually consistent UI updates Key: METRON-1771 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-1771 Project: Metron Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Ryan Merriman
Currently the REST endpoints that perform document updates either return true/false or nothing. This puts the responsibility of retrieving the updated state of the object on the client in a separate call or optimistically applying the changes and reverting when an update fails. This can be problematic if a client attempts to get the current state immediately after an update and the change isn't visible yet in the back end. Ideally they should return the updated state of the object, eliminating the need to look up the updated state in a separate call. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
