>
> For references that are defined in the type system as bi-directional, Atlas
> does not enforce that clients update both sides of the reference, and relies
> on well behaved client applications for repository consistency. This allows
> the repository to be easily corrupted with unbalanced references. Atlas
> should automatically update the inverse reference to avoid this corruption.
> It also is a performance optimization, in that clients can update a
> bi-directional non-composite reference without retrieving both entities, the
> only need the guid for the target entity.
> Note that changes are being tracked/applied separately for the V1/legacy and
> V2 code paths under the sub-tasks.
