This way you break all existing clients !

You may either move the new api to a new prefix
Or use content negotiation where the new api gets a content of e.g.
application/hawkular-inventory+json;v2
A request without that content type gets the old endpoints and
semantics.
A request with that content type in the request will access the
new endpoints (which may be separate or overlay the old ones)
with potentially new data formats.

This way clients can upgrade as they want
