Proposal:

Allow the Pinpoint Endpoint attributes field to be set as a Map in UserProfile by:

- Removing the UserProfile.customProperties field
- Adding UserProfile.attributes of type Map
- Adding UserProfile.metrics of type Map

Research direction

Start by locating the Java UserProfile model and the Pinpoint Endpoint attributes integration in the Analytics and Notifications categories. Review how customProperties is currently represented and propagated, then determine the API and compatibility implications of replacing it with attributes as Map and adding metrics as Map. Done means user attribute arrays are accepted and the proposed Pinpoint representation is consistent.
