access_methods - optional for bundles? #380

Open trbica opened 2 years ago

trbica commented 2 years ago

DRS Object Model description states that access_methods key is optional for bundles.

What is the use case for having access_methods populated for bundles and is there an example for this?

From DRS client side, access_methods should be set only for blobs. For example, bundles can contain blobs and/or bundles from different DRS APIs and the origin DRS API service that provided info for first bundle should not be obligated to provide access_methods for the whole bundle.
