Hi
In the MLMD section there is a refernce to “metadata_store_pb2” such as in
“from ml_metadata.proto import metadata_store_pb2”.
But in the GitHub source there is only " metadata_store" not “metadata_store_pb2”.
So where does this “pb2” come from?
Thanks!

Hi @elito , Thanks for your question.

You are right that in the github source, the metadata_store_pb2 file is not shown. However, if you install ml-metadata pip install ml-metadata , you will see that the file is available on your local machine so you can inspect it there:
