> In general, REST API does not do a good job reporting failures. Making a bogus HTTP call to create a new storage plugin such like
> {code}
> POST [drill-http-server-url]/storage/[storage-plugin-name]
> {"name":"bogus"}
> {code}
> returns HTTP OK with no evidence that the former query failed except the string payload. This is quite a bit of problem for clients that must safely create or update storage plugin before attempting to execute queries as currently there is no unified definitive way to tell if a call succeeds w/o checking the response body. I presume test frameworks heavily rely on this functionality uploading plugin before each test run.
> As part of DRILL-1357, our greater effort to re-design the REST API, we should make sure to define a consistent error message skeleton that is used across resources.
