-------------------------------------
Summary: [Plasma] Remove custom object metadata
Key: ARROW-4217
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-4217
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Plasma (C++)
Affects Versions: 0.11.1
Reporter: Philipp Moritz
Assignee: Philipp Moritz
Fix For: 0.13.0
Currently, Plasma supports custom metadata for objects. This doesn't seem to be
used at the moment, and it will simplify the interface and implementation to
remove it. Removing the custom metadata will also make eviction to other blob
stores easier (most other stores don't support custom metadata).
My personal use case was to store arrow schemata in there, but they are now
stored as part of the object itself.
If nobody else is using this, I'd suggest removing it. If people really want
metadata, they could always store it as a separate object if desired.
