Motivation
We want to be able to flatten
RPCError
s, and to do so we need to be able to merge theMetadata
contained in each.Modifications
This PR adds a helper function to merge one
Metadata
instance into another.Result
Unblocks #2083 and also provides a potentially useful API for users.
- Note: Because of the way
Metadata
has been implemented, we can have multiple identical key-value pairs. This isn't ideal, as it's particularly feasible that we'll end up with multiple repeated identical pairs when merging twoMetadata
s. I think we should reconsider the backing data structure (using a set for example) or add a check before inserting to avoid this.
