How to set SequenceFile.Metadata from within SequenceFileOutputFormat?

[David Rosenstrauch]

I'm using a SequenceFileOutputFormat.  But I'd like to be able to set 
some SequenceFile.Metadata on the SequenceFile.Writer that's getting 
created.  Doesn't look like there's any easy way to do that, other than 
overriding the SequenceFileOutputFormat.getRecordWriter() method.

Am I overlooking anything?
TIA,
