agora.io.metadata

Anthology of interfaces for different parsers and lack of them.

ALIBY decides on using different metadata parsers based on two elements:

1. The parameter given by PipelineParameters (Either True/False, or a string pointing to the metadata file)

2. The available files in the root folder where images are found (remote or locally)

If parameters is a string pointing to a metadata file, ALIBY picks a parser based on the file format. If parameters is True (as a boolean), ALIBY searches for any available file and uses the first valid one. If there are no metadata files, ALIBY requires indicating indices for tiler, segmentation and extraction.
