@jorisvandenbossche that part is a little magical. `tab$metadata$foo <- 42` essentially gets the list from `tab$metadata` anonymously, does `that$foo <- 42`, and then assigns `tab$metadata <- that`. So there's only one path to updating at the C++ level, replacing the whole metadata object. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
