Discuss: throw error when settings service is unavailable?

[kulmann]

There are two situations in which the settings service could not be available. At the moment, sdk is returning an empty array in both situations.

1: Settings service is not set up / configured at all. -> valid to fall back to defaults
2: Settings service is temporarily not available. -> should throw an error instead of returning defaults. Would be confusing for the user to fall back to defaults.

We need to discuss this. It's probably a good idea to fail on temporarily not available settings service.

Can we go forward once we have a capability for the settings service? (owncloud/ocis#2655)

I'd hope so, good point!
