well you can do it that way or invert it

{
     "quota_set": {
         ceph:{snapshot:-1,gigabytpes:100 ...}
         lvm-1:{snapshot:-1,gigabytpes:100 ...}
         lvm-2:{snapshot:-1,gigabytpes:100 ...}
         project:{snapshot:-1,gigabytpes:100 ...}
         ...
         }
 }

in either case the filed names remain the same with and the type is treated as an opaque sting
that is decoupled the field names.
