Feature details

Common Data Model folders and the metadata file (model.json) support describing data that's stored within Azure Data Lake. After the initial release of Common Data Model object model and libraries, several partners provided feedback, feature requests, and more, through forums like GitHub Issues. Based on feedback regarding the data types, file formats, and partition structures specification, we're extending the capabilities in the Common Data Model folder specification to include data types such as date.

Although the libraries provide capabilities for reading and writing metadata files, one clear area of feedback from partners is to add and expand the validation capabilities to ensure that the metadata files are compliant with the specification.
