I think that makes sense. The readers will then return just the file names? Just curious, what type of metadata would one want to store for each file? Would metadata be a specific type or like a dictionary? Is the discussion on Apache slack? I could not find the thread with a few keyword searches like blob and unstructured data 😀.
