Error and bulk responses

[johnzuk]

I want to clarify bulk responses error http codes.

Let's assume i want process multiple vehicles through agency/vehicles endpoint - lets say 3 of them. Lets say first vehicle is already registered, second one has wrong type in filed device_id and third one is correct.
What should be api response and http code in that case? Should it be 409 or 400 or 201 and response like:

{
  "success": 1,
  "total": 3,
  "failures": [
  ... //all details here abut failures  
  ]
}

Going to tag @jiffyclub on this for a quick reply. Thanks!

I personally think I would reject the whole batch if there was a failure and return an error code relevant to the first error I found. I would stop processing the batch at the first error and return that one.

Yes I agree with @jiffyclub. Stop at the first error and return that one. Is that standard behavior, or is a note needed in the spec to make this more clear?

Let's decide on the behavior and wording change to the spec, and we can add this in 2.1.
