Description

There are currently quite some bulk REST endpoints; each of these, however, is quite limited as requires to either not provide any particular input besides the set of elements to act on, or to design a dedicated payload for such a purpose.

The batch approach provided by the OData 4.0 specification seems a perfect match to replace the partial approach provided by bulk endpoints.
