MetadataGenerator

A generator for arbitrary metadata associated with objects. For example, information about pagination can later be used to merge pages (see RecordMerger).

The metadata is stored and attached to the object's field in the Record resulting from the normalization. For instance, given the query query MyQuery { foo } and an implementation of metadataForObject returning mapOf("key", 0), the resulting Record will look like fields: { foo: bar }, metadata: { foo: { key: 0 } }.
