Because BulkApply() and Apply() take ownership of the data in the mutations the failures are returned with their full contents, in case the application wants to take further action with them. Any successful mutations are discarded.
Any mutations that fail with an unknown state are included with a grpc::StatusCode::OK.

Description
std::vector< FailedMutation > const &
status() const

Notice that it can return grpc::Status::OK when there are partial failures in a BulkApply() operation.
