Not nescessarily. I have been thinking about searching, and I think that the logical thing is to have a new keytype which is basically a list of key/value pairs which contain the metadata. This new key type will also support fuzzy key specifications which will only be permitted as a searchkey rather than as a key used for inserting. In the light of this (ie. the metadata actually being in the searchkey), perhaps this metadata thread needs a rethink?
