Currently, Julia's serializer is used to store the metadata. I think should use an open format.

I would like to try this task. I'm a developer new to Julia and i think this is a good opportunity to learn Julia. What do you think about using FlatBuffers to store the metadata?

Note: Flatbuffer is used in the arrow ipc format that is similar (serializing dataframes) to this project.

Might be a good idea. Try the Flatbuffer package.
