An API derived from Apache Spark's Metadata class for storing column metadata. Double and Long are treated as the same number type. The original Scala description can be found below:

Metadata is a wrapper over Map[String, Any] that limits the value type to simple ones: Boolean, Long, Double, String, Metadata, Array[Boolean], Array[Long], Array[Double], Array[String], and Array[Metadata]. JSON is used for serialization.

The default constructor is private. User should use either [[MetadataBuilder]] or Metadata.fromJson() to create Metadata instances.
