Introduce service which provides access to podio metadata tree #1336

Open simonge opened 6 months ago

simonge commented 6 months ago

Currently there isn't a way to access the contents of the "metadata" tree in EICrecon. I would like to see a service which provides access to the members so algorithms can use this information directly.

Currently work arounds are needed which require this information to hard coded/passed as a configuration or inferred from the data event by event. This can cause errors from the user where the configuration may not be carried out correctly.

Accessing the beamline energy settings is the focus of my request but there will other applications for this.

How urgently is this needed?

simonge commented 6 months ago

In the order of a few weeks to a month would be ideal.

This is important for my current tasks also
