Original write of File: Schema: custom_metadata: {"value":1} Message Message Footer Schema: custom_metadata: {"value":1}
Process appends messages (new data in bold): Schema: custom_metadata: {"value":1} Message Message *Message* *Footer* * Schema: custom_metadata: {"value":2}* Re-writing the entire file may not be practical due to the size, so after this operation custom_metadata at the Schema level is out of sync... the two Schema copies are no longer the same. In order to address this I would like to propose adding custom_metadata to Footer as well. Any objections? -John
