      Specify in [Protocol] that services may return the accuracy of the count in a format-specific manner.

       

      Specify in [OData-Json] that @odata.countAccuracy with values "counted", "partial", or "estimated" may be returned to specify the accuracy of the count.

      Specify in [Protocol] that services may return the accuracy of the count in a format-specific manner.   Specify in [OData-Json] that @odata.countAccuracy with values "counted", "partial", or "estimated"  may be returned to specify the accuracy of the count.

      We say that the @odata.count value may be an approximation, but we don't provide a way for a client to know if it is accurate.

      Additional control information to return an accuracy would enable clients to understand how reliable the count value.

      One option would be to add @odata.countAccuracy (or @odata.count.accuracy) to the JSON control information, with values such as: exact, atLeast, estimated.
