Kevin commented on AVRO-3405:
-----------------------------
Ah, yes indeed! I was not thinking ahead... Will also need Read and the
{{avrow}} read API looks good enough.
> add API for user-provided metadata when writing to Object Container File
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: AVRO-3405
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3405
> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: rust
> Affects Versions: 1.11.0
> Environment: Rust Edition 2021
> avro-rs = "0.13.0"
>
> Reporter: Kevin
> Priority: Major
>
> Other libraries provide an API for user-specified metadata to be written to
> the header of an Avro Object Container File. In our case we have always done
> this from Python but are now implementing new projects in Rust. This is
> important to our use of Avro as the metadata provides critical context for
> data handling from container files.
> As an example in Rust, see the {{avrow}} crate which [provides this
> facility|https://docs.rs/avrow/0.2.1/avrow/struct.WriterBuilder.html] as a
> method on its {{{}WriterBuilder{}}}. Something similar for {{avro-rs}} would
> suit our needs.
> For a variety of reasons we are unable to use {{avrow}} in our Rust
> development, so we need this Improvement in Apache {{{}avro-rs{}}}.
> Thank you for your consideration!
