             Summary: Atlas should allow JSONs to be submitted that don't have optional attributes.
                 Key: ATLAS-559
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATLAS-559
             Project: Atlas
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Hemanth Yamijala


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.
