open records for simple maps #66

Closed mwhicks1 closed 3 months ago

mwhicks1 commented 5 months ago

Proposes to extend syntax of schemas, and validation, to support open records, which are useful for implementing simple maps from string to values.

EDIT: Please shift your attention to a new RFC that proposes entity tags. It maximizes the benefits of this RFC (and adds some additional ones) while losing the drawbacks.

Working with tags remains challenging for my project—we currently create entities that have the property tags: Set<String>, and artificially remap tags into strings of form key: value. We can then write policies like resource.tags.contains("label: foo"). This works out ok, but feels a bit clunky and forces us to rewrite :s in key names (to -).

My project would be improved with this RFC if it's possible to implement.

I've dropped a new RFC that proposes entity tags. I believe it properly responds to @emina 's concerns while still satisfying the motivating use-cases. Please shift your attention to that one.
