> Is there a good reason why extra must be encoded JSON? Seems like a nice solution would be to allow for any string there. We expect the extra field to be a dictionary in Web UI. The use of primitive types also causes a problem with extending a given connection ie. it is not future-proff. We also have a design misunderstood here. This field should contain extra **fields**, not additional data. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
