Public bug reported:

When try to create a server with REST API, I set attribute block_device_mapping with wrong value, not a list<dict> but a string (from "block_device_mapping": [{"volume_id": "1", "delete_on_termination": "0", "device_name": "/dev/vdb"}] to "block_device_mapping": "abc",). And then I got a response with code 500.
In nova CLI, when params are wrong you will get a notice, but in REST you get nothing.
If openstack use json schema to describe every REST API and verify json requested , users can easily know how to use these API and which attribute was wrong.
