1. Do the standard libraries handle that metadata key automatically ? C++, Python and Java have facilities to support them automatically (extensions needs to register themselves), I'm not sure about other languages.
2. Are there other standard or best practice metadata keys that either people generally use or the standard libraries expect? I think there are some things related to Pandas types and parquet data that are propagated automatically through metadata. Rust was looking into including file sources but I'm not sure that is being externalized. There might be other things, hopefully people will chime in.
