Clarification: UpdateResult in SetResponse

gsindigi opened this issue · 0 comments

SetResponse contains repeated UpdateResult response = 2;; however, UpdateResult's fields timestamp and message (Error) fields are deprecated. Remaining two fields are to carry the path and Operation details, which are pretty much dependent on incoming SetRequest. These were making sense when each element was carrying the error information if there's any. Given this, should UpdateResult continue to be part of SetResponse? Or, should it also be considered to deprecate this as well? As the error reporting is part of the RPC return, this UpdateResult in response may not carry any useful information.
