using - oneOf, anyOf in Schema

Question

I want to let user allow flexibility to provide only one of either ref_id or dataCenter. Could someone correct this schema ?

  kind: kind
    metadata:
      name: kind.v1
      namespace: system
    spec:
      descrption: This is an example specification 
      schema:
        type: object
        properties:
          ref_id:
            type: string
            minLength: 25
            maxLength: 40
          dataCenter:
            type: string
            enum:
              - "abc"
              - "xyzzy"
          version:
            type: integer
            example: 1
        required:
          - ref_id
          - dataCenter
          - version

Because you have additional properties besides those two, a simple oneOf would be insufficient. Instead, nest a oneOf for ref_id and dataCenter inside an allOf.

(Example simplified for brevity)

properties:
  allOf:
    - version:
    - oneOf:
      - ref_id:
      - dataCenter:

using - oneOf, anyOf in Schema
