+  Additionally, values saved for field metadata on the master are saved as a 
+  string of bytes (uchar) in the binlog. A field may require 1 or more bytes
+  to store the information. In cases where values require multiple bytes 
+  (e.g. values > 255), the endian-safe methods are used to properly encode 
+  the values on the master and decode them on the slave. When the field
+  metadata values are captured on the slave, they are stored in an array of
+  type uint16. This allows the least number of casts to prevent casting bugs
+  when the field metadata is used in comparisons of field attributes. When
+  the field metadata is used for calculating addresses in pointer math, the
+  type used is uint32.
