/* This file provides a mechanism for tracking metadata through the grpc stack.
   It's not intended for consumption outside of the library.

   Metadata is tracked in the context of a grpc_mdctx. For the time being there
   is one of these per-channel, avoiding cross channel interference with memory
   use and lock contention.

   The context tracks unique strings (grpc_mdstr) and pairs of strings
   (grpc_mdelem). Any of these objects can be checked for equality by comparing
   their pointers. These objects are reference counted.

   grpc_mdelem can additionally store a (non-NULL) user data pointer. This
   pointer is intended to be used to cache semantic meaning of a metadata
   element. For example, an OAuth token may cache the credentials it represents
   and the time at which it expires in the mdelem user data.

   Combining this metadata cache and the hpack compression table allows us to
   simply lookup complete preparsed objects quickly, incurring a few atomic
   ops per metadata element on the fast path.

   grpc_mdelem instances MAY live longer than their refcount implies, and are
   garbage collected periodically, meaning cached data can easily outlive a
   single request. */
