Description
The current XATTRs documentation does not cover a few important details in the concepts:
- A discussion of how this relates to the item quota. For all readers of the SDK documentation, it's part of the 20MByte item size.
- Pointing out that XATTRs cannot be enumerated or otherwise discovered. It's up to the app to know they exist. The cluster provides no facility for discovering them.
- A discussion, of virtual xattrs. The TTL was added specifically for requests by the field, so I'm sure other users will need this information.
- XATTR flags. These are only publicly exposed through the SDKs, so I believe this is the right place to cover them. The sdk-rfc has a discussion which can be drawn from. See https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z3pJCPg77PZ8U8rFAyABuEhHSl68j1n42zP2RyflWZs/edit#heading=h.z5vaan7obomq .
