Oh, just as I feared. The problem is the metadata itself is probably hundreds of gigabytes, if not terabytes in size, so it would be impossible to have mdimporter index "fake" files.
If the _meta_data is really that large, then this is sort of an insane thing to try to do. It means that at least that much data will have to be accessed by Spotlight on the initial indexing pass, and similarly that much data will need to be stored in Spotlight's indexes. How much network traffic will this involve? How much CPU to run your importer on all of this data? How much disk space to store the metadata into Spotlight's index? This is just plain abuse of Spotlight.
