   > Thanks @echonesis for updating the patch. Just one more question: why does 
`ContainerChecksums` use `long 0` for unknown data checksum, and `Long null` 
for unknown/missing metadata checksum? Is there a use case where there is a 
difference between 0 and `null`?
   
   I believe metadata serves a critical role in future operations and analysis. 
 Regarding the `toString()` method, I propose we differentiate between two 
checksum types: the existing data checksum and a new metadata checksum.
   I'm treating this as a schema extension, specifically by introducing 
nullability. This ensures backward compatibility, so existing consumers using 
older APIs won't experience breakage.
