IndexMetadataRepository instead of IndexMetadataFactory

[sanjay_chaturvedi]

To obtain runtime metadata from vdb while writing test cases, we have a translation utility in our project. We use VDBMetadataFactory class with teiid-metadata-7.4.1.jar. It has class IndexMetadataFactory class, which we used to get metadata info from VDB url. Now as we are moving to DV6 : i.e. using teiid-metadata-8.4.1-redhat-2.jar. These updated jars are missing with IndexMetadataFactory.

we were using IndexMetadataFactory class by calling

new IndexMetadataFactory(vdbURL). But in IndexMetadataRepository class, have not found any method where I can pass VDB path/url to obtain metadata info.

Please suggest some example about how to get runtime metadata info from VDB.

With classes that are not promoted for direct usage there will be changes from release to release.  Similar code would be in the VDBMetadataFactory class - https://github.com/teiid/teiid/blob/8.4.x/metadata/src/test/java/org/teiid/metadata/index/VDBMetadataFactory.java

However since this class is in the test part of the module, it wouldn't be part of the product distribution.
