@ -62,7 +62,12 @@ type (for example, if you apply a filter on a query for statistics,
you won't target *duration_start* field of *Statistics*, but *timestamp*
field of *Sample*). You may also apply filters based on the values of one
or more of the *resource_metadata* field, in which case you should target
*metadata.<field>*.
*metadata.<field>*. Notice, however, that given the free-form nature of
*resource_metadata* field, there is no practical or consistent way to
validate the query fields under *metadata* domain like it is done for all other
fields. In other words, the API call will return HTTP 200 in both scenarios:
when a query with *metadata.<field>* does not match its value, and when
*<field>* itself does not exist in any of the records being queried.
