I wasn't implying that that all metadata should be treated the same way for all services; instead I was stating that the interface component for dealing with arbitrary key/value metadata should be built to be reusable and able to solve the same types of problems across services from a UX standpoint.
All the best,

Hi,
While some of the swift metadata features might be implemented in a different way,
I think that we can implement them based on more generic way.
I'll begin to investigate how to implement them.
any suggestion would be greatly appreciated

Shouldn't be a bit different? I can see that tagging is a nice feature
to have but there is some cases where you want to just add custom
metadata on a object/container/account in Swift that doesn't mean
tagging.
A lot of swift feature are based on metada for instance when you want
to add the Quota you would change the X-Account-Meta-Quota-Bytes
header or if you would like to add ACL you would change the
X-Container-Read header.
Just my 2c so that feature is not just tagging[1] and we can add
arbitary headers on Swift objects/cont/account.
Chmouel.
[1] Great feature to have by the way across multiple services this
would be nice to do grouping like that.
