# This demonstrates doing multiple metadata fetches in parallel.
# It seems to be fast enough that the json decoding cost becomes
# a significant proportion of the execution time.

# It requires gevent; see http://www.gevent.org/intro.html#installation

# This is callable from the command line; call with --help for a summary.

# If you use it is a library, the main entry point is
# metadata_record_iterator(); see main() for an example.
