Ali Lown updated WAVE-31:
-------------------------
Component/s: Federation
> enums are bad in protobufs
> --------------------------
>
> Key: WAVE-31
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WAVE-31
> Project: Wave
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Federation, Protocol
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: StarterProject
>
> We currently use enums for HashAltgorithm and SignatureAlgorithm in the
> protobufs. Should we ever add a new value to the enum, and send a signature
> to a server that runs old code, the hash_algorithm field will be treated as
> not being there. But since it's marked required, badness will ensue.
> We probably either want to switch away from enums, or make the algorithm
> fields options, or something like that.
