configurable behavior on unknown extensions #26

Closed pwinckles closed 3 years ago

pwinckles commented 3 years ago

Allow users to configure what they want to happen when unsupported extensions are encountered:

  1. Fail on unknown repo extensions
  2. Warn on unknown repo extensions
  3. Fail on unknown object extensions
  4. Warn on unknown object extensions

Would these options affect storage layout extensions?

For non-storage-layout extensions, I could see an option of "fail, but allow an override" being useful.

@bcail Can you elaborate on what you mean?

bcail commented 3 years ago

Sure. For safety, I could the failure option being helpful - if you don't understand something, just fail. But, there could be a situation where the unknown extension is harmless, so I want to override the default failure mode to just do the operation anyway.
