> Profile POST REST call overwrites existing profile in storage

> Key: UNOMI-32
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UNOMI-32
> Project: Apache Unomi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0-incubating, 1.0.1-incubating
> Reporter: Serge Huber
> Assignee: Thomas Draier

> Currently, if we receive a POST request on the ProfileServiceEndPoint.save
> method, we will directly save the content in ElasticSearch. The problem is
> that ES by default will always replace any existing entry, meaning that if it
> contained data that was not sent in the POST request then we will loose
> profile data.
> We need to define whether it is the responsibility of the endpoint or the
> ProfileService to check for existing data and merging it, but since we
> already have update methods in the back-end it seems to me that the save
> method could overwrite existing data and that the endpoint could take care of
> the needed logic of merging, but this is open for discussion here.
