Struct Metadata 

pub struct Metadata {
    pub parameters: BTreeMap<String, Parameter>,
    /* private fields */
}

Additional data that is sent as part of output messages.

Includes a timestamp and additional user-provided parameters. The payload is a self-describing Arrow IPC stream, so the message carries no separate type descriptor.

Fields

parameters: BTreeMap<String, Parameter>

Implementations

impl Metadata

pub const CURRENT_VERSION: u16 = 2

Current metadata wire-format version, stamped on every outgoing message.

Bumped from 0 to 1 when the ArrowTypeInfo sidecar was dropped and the wire format became Arrow-IPC-only, and from 1 to 2 when the binary encoding moved from bincode to postcard (varint integers and length prefixes, so the byte layout differs even though the field order does not). A receiver can compare metadata_version against this to detect a peer speaking an incompatible format and report it clearly instead of failing with a cryptic positional-deserialization error.

pub fn new(timestamp: Timestamp) -> Metadata

Create metadata with the given timestamp and no user parameters.

pub fn startup_marker(timestamp: Timestamp) -> Metadata

Metadata for a startup route-probe marker (see STARTUP_MARKER_PARAM).

pub fn is_startup_marker(&self) -> bool

Whether this message is a startup route-probe marker rather than node data. Markers are consumed by the receiving node’s startup barrier and must never be decoded or surfaced to user code — see STARTUP_MARKER_PARAM.

pub fn startup_ack( timestamp: Timestamp, consumer_node: &str, input_id: &str, ) -> Metadata

Metadata for a startup route-probe ack: the consumer-side reply to a startup marker, identifying which consumer input received it (see STARTUP_ACK_PARAM).

pub fn startup_ack_identity(&self) -> Option<(&str, &str)>

Some((consumer_node, input_id)) iff this message is a well-formed startup route-probe ack — see STARTUP_ACK_PARAM. Malformed acks (missing or wrongly-typed identity parameters) return None and are ignored by producers, which keeps the affected output on the reliable daemon path instead of switching on bad evidence.

pub fn from_parameters( timestamp: Timestamp, parameters: BTreeMap<String, Parameter>, ) -> Metadata

Create metadata with the given timestamp and user parameters, stamping the current wire-format version (CURRENT_VERSION).

pub fn metadata_version(&self) -> u16

The wire-format version stamped on this metadata. Compare against CURRENT_VERSION on receive to reject peers using an incompatible format.

pub fn timestamp(&self) -> Timestamp

The hybrid-logical-clock timestamp assigned when this message was sent.

pub fn open_telemetry_context(&self) -> String

The serialized OpenTelemetry propagation context carried in the open_telemetry_context parameter, or an empty string if absent.
