Add unique identifier to api error responses #1975

Closed scottf closed 3 years ago

Feature Request

Add unique identifier to api error responses

Use Case:

When calling CONSUMER.INFO.%s.%s and an error is returned we have to check the string description to determine which was the problem, the stream or the consumer, since both errors are 404

io.nats.jetstream.api.v1.consumer_info_response 404 consumer not found
io.nats.jetstream.api.v1.consumer_info_response 404 stream not found

Proposed Change:

Add a field to the error object to hold a unique numeric code

Who Benefits From The Change(s)?

Clients can identify specific errors faster and without relying on string comparison.

My plan was to do this after GA as it’s an addition so would be safe.
