["Philip Gladstone (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1217?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Philip Gladstone updated AVRO-1217:
-----------------------------------

    Release Note: Calls to DataFileWriter set_meta method will now add metadata to the written file if the call is before any datum is appended to the file.
          Status: Patch Available  (was: Open)

The attached patch fixes the problem and adds a test case.

> In the code:
>     writer = open(FILENAME, 'wb')
>     with datafile.DataFileWriter(writer, datum_writer, schema_object) as dfw:
>       dfw.set_meta('test.string', 'foo')
> the call to set_meta does not actually cause the metadata to be written to the file.
