Is there any plan to support OData Endpoint routing?

See detail at this issue:

OData/WebApi#2103

Any feedback, please let me know.
THanks

Thanks @xuzhg (Sam). This is essentially a duplicate of #608. I've been participating on the threads on the OData repo for some time. I internally met with Saurabh and Mike several months back. I'm not one to chase pre-releases because I am the team here and I just don't have capacity to deal with a moving target. It's not really clear to me what the release schedule is or how many more changes may be coming. The beta seems to have been stable for a month or so now.

Sadly, it appears I may have to rewrite the OData routing infrastructure - again. I've had to do so in every flavor of OData since 5.8.x. The fact that the API Versioning matcher policy doesn't work as is is an indicator without even looking at the code. API Versioning doesn't do anything expect disambiguate duplicate routes by API Version. OData, in particular, always assumes there's one, and only one, possible match or fails. In Endpoint Routing, the matcher policy should only decide the possible matches. The base infrastructure decides on a 404 if there are no matches or 500 if there are duplicate matches. I've worked with the ASP.NET team since the public creation of the project and API Versioning was one of the scenarios they used to evaluate the Endpoint Routing design.

Despite my best efforts to urge this not to be the case in OData, the behavior always seems to remain the same. I'm hoping this time that may be just be the default behavior and easy to change without reimplementing the whole thing. Better still, since things are still in the beta phase, perhaps there will be a chance to make things play nicer together before the final release. I'm happy to have a conversation with you internally if the will help things become more synergistic. :)

Cheers!

@commonsensesoftware Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We (OData) schedule a regular sync meeting with .NET Team (ASP.NET) to figure out the routing stuffs. If you are interested in, i can forward that meeting to you so we can have a same platform to discuss the routing.

Any update on this? Is the current workaround to not use endpoint routing?

There's currently nothing new to report at this time. Officially, it's not supported - yet. I've heard it may just work, but I haven't tried it myself. Your mileage may vary.
