    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-2449?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12763625#comment-12763625 ] 

Steven Hawkins commented on TEIID-2449:
---------------------------------------

The basic approach here will be to elevate the concept of the vdb resource map into a first class citizen that will be available during the metadata load.  Then all special handling related to index metadata can be removed.  However for backwards compatibility we'll probably have to assume that any vdb with indexes should assume that the indexmetadatarepository is the default (which is the current handling). A new metadata repository type "ddl-file" would need to be created that could be used in a zip to reference the appropriate zip file resource.

> Our current vdb.xml design will include the ddl metadata string in-memory which is not desirable for large metadata sets.  We should provide a built-in mechanism to relocate the metadata to separate files in a zip (which can also be a natural replacement for index files when the designer is ready).
