Critical Description
The trunk build of CAS-Curator (rev. 1440737) seems to break the MetadataResource.updateMetadata method by deleting product met instead of updating it.
I built a trunk build of cas-curator webapp and deployed to a local tomcat. Next, I pointed the curator to my local cas-filemgr. From this point, following the CAS-Curator REST API directions for updating a product's metadata [1], I attempted to invoke a sample call to update a metadata field. This step had two consequences: (1) the product's metadata was not updated, and critically (2) the product was actually deleted!
Reproducibility steps:
1. Build latest trunk build (rev. 1440737) of curator
2. Deploy to tomcat with an active filemgr catalog (containing data)
3. Invoke the following Unix command to update the metadata for a given product: curl --data "id=<YOUR_PRODUCT_ID>&metadata.<METADATA_KEY_NAME>=<METADATA_KEY_VALUE>" http://localhost:8080/curator/services/metadata/update
4. Watch to see the product met actually being deleted instead of updated
I will attach the stack trace (seen from step 4) to this bug report.
