Possible double serialization on results returned from web service

[prasanthpul]

@rastala is this documented somewhere? consider also updating the notebooks which show always using json.dumps, even on data that wouldn't need it.

I had the same issue and had to remove the json.dumps in the return from my run().

[rastala]

The service calls Request library's Response.json() method on the return value. So if the return value can be handled by this method already, then json.dumps() wouldn't be necessary.

I agree with with @prasanthpul - this should be documented somewhere and the notebooks should be updated...

@hning86 - Could we update these notebooks to take out json.dumps() from the score.py examples. This causes malformed JSON to be returned from the webservice.

Additionally, we should have documentation that the return value from the run method in scoring scripts should be a JSON serializable object and not a JSON string

Yeah I will fix this. Thx for spotting it!

[hning86]
