Idea #4019
Updated by Peter Amstutz over 9 years ago
A major drawback of using "link" objects for metadata (as opposed to the "properties" field on the object itself) is that link objects have permissions separate from the item they are describing. While sometimes this is desirable, in other situations (such as associating repo/tag to docker images) this ends introducing significant unnecessary complexity. The ability to query the "properties" field enables us to store metadata directly on the object and search on it.
Upgrade apiserver to Postgres 9.4 and Rails 4.2 (when it is released) to take advantage of searchable jsonb column data type.
