> In the documentation, the metadata is described as
> "File metadata consists of:
> A long indicating the number of metadata key/value pairs.
> For each pair, a string key and bytes value."
> In fact, the metadata appears to be a map. If this is the case, the
> description should be something like.
> "File metadata is represented by an Avro map coded as a series of blocks
> where each block consists of:
> A long indicating the number of metadata map key/value pairs in the block.
> For each pair, a string key and bytes value.
> A long value of zero following a block indicates that there are no more
> blocks in the map."
> Attempting to process the metadata using the existing specification results
> in an unexplained 0 byte following the last bytes value.
