[teiid-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (TEIID-2445) vdb.xml usability enhancements

vdb.xml usability enhancements ------------------------------ Key: TEIID-2445 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-2445 Project: Teiid Issue Type: Enhancement Components: Server Reporter: Ramesh Reddy Assignee: Steven Hawkins Fix For: 8.4 Couple of usability enhancements need to be done on the -vdb.xml to make the intent clear UseConnectorMetadata=true/cached - The true case could be removed entirely. The notion of metadata caching could be handled by a model property and should probably be more baked into the MetadataRepository facility (such as passing the cached metadata in for update). supports-multi-source-bindings=true/false - Since we have mostly removed the binding terminology, it would make more sense to call this just multi-source or multisource (which is consistent with the multisource.columnName and addColumn properties). We could also automatically infer it to be true when there are multiple sources listed for a single model (which is currently an error case without this property) so that it would only be needed if you wanted a single source to appear as if it were a multisource model.
