The user then updates the instance. The change is one that does not involve changing the plan. The OSB API allows for arbritrary update parameters, and so supports making changes which are not a change in plan.
The user wants to make a further change to the service instance but needs to assert the instance's current state first. This information is not available via the OSB API.
The problem
The Open Service Broker API does not provide a way of reading the state of an existing service instance.
Suggested solution
Provide an endpoint for reading the state of a service instance. It returns arbitrary data about the instance.
