> The use of an enum for Resource.Type does not allow for on the fly additions of new resource types for the API.  The new Ambari Views needs to be able to extend the API through the addition of new resource types.
> Converting from an enum to a class is pretty straightforward but has some limitations.  For example, an enum can be used in a switch statement but a class can't.  We need to provide a way to allow for this conversion with minimal code disruption.
