Updating only 1(quality) metadata is not resetting the collections to system default

Sravan, just to make sure we're all talking about the same thing:

You said you expect to see the system default collection. You know this is NOT what you set when you call DocumentWriteSet.addDefault, right? That just sets the default for the write set. That is not the system default.

The system default is the empty set UNLESS you configure default collections for a specific user. Did you do that?

You would have to have defined them when you called sec:create-user or by calling sec:user-default-collections (or through the admin interface).

Yes , I did mention that in the bug
'I have user with default permissions and collection uri and I see the following behavior'

Sravan, I didn't attempt to get your test working to validate, but I made a simple fix that I expect to be exactly what you're looking for. Let me know if it's difficult at all for you to rerun your test.

[sravanr]

I still see my test not pulling system default collection if you only update properties or quality

[sammefford]

Sravan, this is expected behavior for the Bulk API. I had a long conversation with Erik on Friday to make sure I understood. For single document update it works as you were expecting, where setting one category of metadata uses system defaults for the other categories. But for Bulk write it's all-or-nothing--if you set any metadata you don't get system defaults on other metadata categories.

[sravanr]

After long chain of discussion in email, conclusion I understand is ' lets not change the existing behavior how it works now'

[sammefford]

For now that is correct. We need to get this release launched then come back to this when we have time to dive in and talk through it.
