Since the Hoodie Metadata fields have to be added at fixed positions, the other fields of the schema will get an "offset" position. This offset cannot be guaranteed to be fixed (= num_hoodie_metadata_fields) as the existing schema may have a field named with hoodie metadata or for any other reason. Hence, for sake of data integrity, we cannot refer to fields by position in the current design. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
