    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-3885?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17603670#comment-17603670 ] 

Ramachandran commented on RANGER-3885:
--------------------------------------

[~madhan] / [~rmani]  :As part of the below api, we are supporting the first name as part of the filtering 

[https://ranger.apache.org/apidocs/resource_UserREST.html#resource_UserREST_searchUsers_GET]

 

The below API it does not make any sense [resource_UserREST_suggestUserFirstName_GET |https://ranger.apache.org/apidocs/resource_UserREST.html#resource_UserREST_suggestUserFirstName_GET]

It just returns the firstName based on query parameter letters . 
@GET
	@Path("/firstnames")
	@Produces({ "application/json", "application/xml" })	public String suggestUserFirstName(@QueryParam("letters") String letters,
			@Context HttpServletRequest req) {		return null;
	}
if that's the case we can achieve it from  [https://ranger.apache.org/apidocs/resource_UserREST.html#resource_UserREST_searchUsers_GET]

So we can remove [resource_UserREST_suggestUserFirstName_GET |https://ranger.apache.org/apidocs/resource_UserREST.html#resource_UserREST_suggestUserFirstName_GET] from our code base .

This is my thought.I will appreciate your input to proceed further.

> According to the documentation, the API [resource_UserREST_suggestUserFirstName_GET|https://ranger.apache.org/apidocs/resource_UserREST.html#resource_UserREST_suggestUserFirstName_GET] should return status code 200 when a request is made, but the API always returns a status code 204 No Content.
> From the code, it is clear that the API call just returns null without performing any operations.
> {code:java|bgColor=#f4f5f7}
> @GET
> 	@Path("/firstnames")
> 	@Produces({ "application/json", "application/xml" })
> 	public String suggestUserFirstName(@QueryParam("letters") String letters,
> 			@Context HttpServletRequest req) {
> 		return null;
> 	}
> {code}
> If this API is used by the customers, then this API has to be fixed, otherwise this API has to be removed from the code file and from
> the documentation
