With LoadMetadata implemented, > existing scripts that specify schema will need to remove it (since LM is > doing it for them) and they will need to conform to LM's terminology (key, > columns, name, value) within the script. This is trivial to change, however, > and the increased functionality is worth the switch. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
