Once we've pulled the 16.09 release throttle
We need to be disciplined with respect to bugfix commits. Here are a few common-sense suggestions:
- All bug fixes must be double-committed to the release throttle as well as to the master branch
- Commit first to the release throttle, then "git cherry-pick" into master
- Manual merges may be required, depending on the degree of divergence between throttle and master
- All bug fixes need to have a Jira ticket
- Please put Jira IDs into the commit messages.
- Please use the same Jira ID

<p>VPP responses often contain zero length arrays. That means the array's length is specified in other variable within the response. However the other variable can have any name and type so it is impossible to generate handling for these types.</p>
<p>Suggested fix:<br/> 1. Add annotation to vpe.api that will mark zero length array's length parameter</p>
