[JIRA] Commented: (CPPOST-68) Add per-entity observability for metadata providers

[Scott Cantor (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.shibboleth.net/jira/browse/CPPOST-68?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13703#comment-13703 ] 

Scott Cantor commented on CPPOST-68:
------------------------------------

Related to this, the metadata API should be extended with the ability to hang "note" data off of particular entities with the cleanup managed via callback by the provider itself. That reduces the need to cache information using external eventing.

> Current eventing for metadata updates is per-provider, but the dynamic metadata support works much better with per-entity eventing. Should be possible to extend the Observable APIs with an Ex version that adds per-entity notifications and limit cache dumps.
