Hemanth Yamijala commented on ATLAS-559:
----------------------------------------
This does not break existing functionality and is an improvement. Moving out of
the 0.7 release.
> Atlas should allow JSONs to be submitted that don't have optional attributes.

> Currently, attributes which are in principle optional should still be
> submitted using a null value if one is using the REST API directly. The Java
> client libraries handle this case for the user, but there are non Java folks
> using Atlas as well. For them, any optional addition to the types implies
> they will need to change their code which is super inconvenient. Hence,
> handling optional attributes is required.
