Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-10430:
----------------------------------------

Actually, after thinking about it a bit more, I see your point. I like Andrew's 
point about having a cursor, but I'd rather keep the interface simpler. How 
about letting the caller control the windowing by providing a list of names:

{code}
List<Metadata> getMetadata(String... names);
{code}

The CLI could then get the list of names and break it into 1000 name chunks. 
Thoughts?

> KeyProvider Metadata should have an optional description, there should be a 
> method to retrieve the metadata from all keys

> Being able to attach an optional description (and show it when displaying 
> metadata) will enable giving some context on the keys.
