> Everything except for the actual result data can be called metadata IMO. I don't like the term "trailer" because it is not a common term in data world, which can cause confusion. Also, we are not really putting it at the end of the data table, it is in front of the actual result data. @Jackie-Jiang No. Now we put it at the end of the data table. In V3, layout of data table looks like: ``` version number num_rows num_columns exception_start_offset, exception_length dictionary_map_start_offset, dictionary_map_length data_schema_start_offset, data_scheme_length fixed_size_data_start_offset, fixed_size_length variable_size_data_start_offset, variable_size_length trailer_start_offset, trailer_length exception_bytes dictionary_map_bytes data_schema_bytes fixed_size_data_bytes variable_size_data_bytes trailer_bytes ``` But I agree to name it as metadata. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
