Re: [Hawkular-dev] resource config and operations
I am not 100% sure it is a good idea to store maps or other
"rich" types as
property values in inventory as that may have influence on their indexability
or (altogether the ability to persist such objects).
There are for sure performance implications for doing so but we need to wait
If this is true, then I *strongly* recommend you change the inventory API. Because in all
the inventory Blueprint objects that I've seen, they define properties as a Map of
Objects:
@JsonProperty("properties") Map<String, Object> properties)
When I saw this (and with lack of javadoc :)) I took this to mean I can store whatever I
want (and I took this to mean it is *OK* to store whatever I want).
If we want to discourage (or even not allow) the use of storing rich types, then that API
should be changed, to something like:
@JsonProperty("properties") Map<String, String> properties)
